Customer Rating: Summary: Follow that Bird Comment: I remember watching this when I was a kid, I loved it then and I love it now. Big Bird was sent to go live with another bird family by a Bird Adoption Agency and he did not like it there. So he decided to walk home, which the bird family thought he ran away. The people from Sesame Street went to look for him, before the Bird Adoption Agency that made him go live with the other family could find him. There was a lot of funny things that happened and fun songs that kids and grown up would like. I recommend this movie to kids and grown ups. Customer Rating: Summary: Realities of the Human Condition Comment: This is an interesting movie in that it really shows realities of the human condition. The movie starts with a bird agency deciding that Big Bird can not be happy because he is not living with other birds. So, they decide he has to leave Sesame Street to live with a bird family. (The DODOs.) They expose a harsh reality here. More often than not, these agencies make decisions and pass judgments WITHOUT knowing what they are talking about or establishing the facts. (Especially agencies that are suppose to help people with disabilities.) If we want to go a bit further, the great Shakespeare said in "King Lear:" 'striving to better, oft we mar what's well.' Moving on, Ms. Finch (of the agency) goes to Sesame Street and convinces Big Bird he will be happier with the Dodos who live in Illinois. Back in SS New York, Big Bird's friends are of course upset, but they agree it is Big Bird's decision to make. BB's friend Mr. Snuffalupugus is especially sad, but BB convinces him he can visit. Without going on too long, the Dodos make the naive Big Bird look really intelligent. While BB can tolerate their unintelligence, he can not tolerate it when they won't let Mr. Snuffalupugus visit because he is not a bird. Big Bird runs away, and his friends back at SS see the story on tv and decide they have to look for him. His friends (despite their flaws) go off to look for him. (Even Oscar the Grouch!) But things are not going to be simple. Ms. Finch is still looking for BB to bring him back to the Dodos, and a corrupt entertainment duet is after Big Bird to use him for financial gain. While this movie may APPEAR to be for children, it raises many aspects of the human condition, (Agencies who don't know what they are doing, corruption, flawed friends trying their best, etc.) Between the suspense, comic relief, and good songs, this movie is seldom boring. In some ironic moments, some of BB's friends get close to him, but miss him. (Ernie and Bert find him, but lose him just as quickly. We're not sure whether to laugh or cry!) This movie may technically be for children, but I feel it has lasting value and should be watched by adults as well. Customer Rating: Summary: Follow that Bird Comment: I remembered this movie from when I was a kid, I use to love it. I took a chance and got it for my 2 year old and was I glad I did. It is now one of her favorite movies. She asks to watch it all the time, Her favorite use to be elmo now she really loves big bird. I give this movie a great review. Customer Rating: Summary: My 3 year old was crying Comment: I think this was a good story, typical Sesame Street, but my 3 year old was crying through most of it because Big Bird was lost, and then he was blue, and oh no! That made her cry more. Anyway, you know your child; mine is still a little sensitive, obviously, so we've shelved this one for now.

A meddling social worker sends poor Big Bird off to Ocean View, Illinios, for the comforts of family life with his "own kind," the Dodos. But Big Bird is a disaster as a Dodo and, lonely and homesick, he soon sets off on foot for Sesame Street. Can his old friends find him before he runs "afowl" of trouble en route?
