It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

When you have a TV show as massively popular as "Sesame Street", it only fits that a movie would be made about it. This will probably be the best film for Nostalgia Critic Month. Even he couldn't make fun of it! I admit that this isn't as good as the Muppet movies starring Kermit, but it's still quite fun. I'm surprised they only made two "Sesame Street" movies. We get to see all the classic characters in the funny scenarios they're known for. I also like how everything is resolved at the end. You think a plot thread might be left hanging, but instead everything is wrapped up.Yes, I have fond memories of the original show and it's still on today! While not educational like the show, it's hard to go wrong with a movie focusing on Big Bird. It was funny to find out that Big Bird was his literal name. Yes, his first name is "Big" and he was actually referred to that in the movie. A lot of "Sesame Street" seems to be just in the back of my mind slowly resurfacing as I watch videos. It's nice to get a epic sense with how everyone's on the road looking for Big Bird. I especially loved the bits with the Count at the end and as far I know he got the number right. I remember, "Hold onto your feathers, little bird!". ***

Director Ken Kwapis decides to give us the first Sesame Street. movie with Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird! The film follows Big Bird being taken to a family of dodos because as it turns out Big Bird is 6 years old and is an orphan. Big Bird decides that he wants to go back to Sesame Street and the people of Sesame Street decide to go on a big road trip/wild goose chase. The films message is self explanatory, the acting is terrific and the story is well done. if you want a family movie for all ages then I recommend Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird. It will definitely be worth your time. It is one of the classic pieces of film for Jim Henson and his workshop.Rated G.1hr 28min/88min.****/****

The gang from "Sesame Street" hit the big screen and they hit a bull's-eye. The story is simple: Big Bird is taken away from his warm nest on SS and taken to live with a ditsy foster family of dodo birds. Homesick and lonely, he sets off on a journey back home while being pursued by his friends, social workers and carnival owners.This movie is pretty much perfect, in it's own way. The all-star cast (a Muppet tradition) just shine and deliver sweet and likable performances with Dave Thomas and Joe Flaherty stand-outs as the bumbling villains. Carroll Spinney also delivers a heart-warming performance as Big Bird. In fact, there's not a dent in sight when it comes to this collection of actors.The story might be simple but would you have it any other way? When comparing this to the sequel, "Elmo in Grouchland", this comes off like "Die Hard" which I consider an amusing comparison. My only real complaint is the forgettable songs.Overall for the kids and young at heart, this is a joy.

I only watched this film when I was very young, and some of it stuck with me all over all these years. I remember seeing it for the first time. (Gosh, I can't believe I actually 'forced' to watch this with my parents at night and thought they loved Sesame Street! I can imagine them being very bored while they watched this with me.) I am guessing this is the film I saw when I was about six-years-old, based on the plot. What I remember was that Big Bird was lost or far away from home, and he looks up at the stars or something and wishes he was back home, and it was all very emotional. I remember that he was also in China or some other country and he had befriended a little girl. It seems odd that I remember some of this after all these years, but it must have been well done because I enjoyed it and it was very emotional and I wanted to watch it again but I was never able to.
