Watch Follow That Bird For Free

Wonderful character development!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Big Bird is sent to live far from Sesame Street by a pesky social worker. Unhappy, Big Bird runs away from his foster home, prompting the rest of the Sesame Street gang to go on a cross-country journey to find him.Maybe it helps if you grew up with Sesame Street. For me, this was actually the first film I ever saw in the theater. But I feel kids of all ages should still enjoy it today (2017). I have no memory of seeing the film as a kid, but loved it just as much now as I probably did then. Maybe more, because I was able to pick up on the dumbest jokes (like there being an "Oceanview" in Illinois).Parents, please expose your kids to this movie. It is about as fun and harmless as can be. Maybe not educational, but not everything can be.

The movie starts off with Big Bird happily living on Sesame Street in the intercity in liberal and diverse New York City. Sesame Street is the pinnacle of utopia because it has a precise diversity quota. There are Indias, African Americans, Hispanics, a minority of Anglo Saxon European whites, and a diverse animal population.A group of birds come together under the premise that a bird can't possibly happening living with diversity, they must live with their species. They find a new home for Big Bird in and "DoDo birds" that represent Midwestern white suburbanites who are inherently racist, mentally inferior to liberal New Yorkers, and don't associate with other cultures in Belleville, IL. Big Bird does not like his new home as it is impossible for a dumb Midwestern suburban white to be happy.Later in the movie we white rural Americans operating a Circus. Whites business owners clearly do not mind ripping off children, stealing lunches, or abusing animals to pursue a profit motive. At the end the diverse group must rescue Big Bird from the evil white racist business owners. You see, businesses are inherently evil, and only the government cares about individuals. Thank goodness we have liberal groups such as PETA to go after circus owners.Your taxpayer dollars at work to indoctrinate liberal stereotypes into young children who can't yet reach their own conclusions.

I never saw this movie as a child, but I've seen the other Sesame Street and Muppet films and like everyone else I grew up with the series.This morning I saw it on TV and couldn't stop watching, I'm 18-years-old and I fell in love with Sesame Street all over again. The greatest children's films shouldn't talk down to it's target audience. Follow that Bird is fun, entertaining and has a sense of humour even an adult can enjoy.I tried to rewatch the Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland a few years ago and couldn't make it all the way through. It's not a bad film, I liked it when I was seven but it didn't stand the test of time.Follow that Bird on the other hand has something special about it, the plot has some weight to it. The whole adoption story and the birds wanting to be with their own kind seemed to be conveying a message about racism.And it also gets a little serious and emotional in places. A lot of people found the Blue Bird song to be sad.So if you're looking for something to watch with your kids of just want to take a trip down memory lane, Follow that Bird won't disappoint.

It's great for a public television show to go on the big screen. Warner Brothers and the Children's Television Workshop to come up with a movie like this. In "Follow That Bird" Big Bird gets to go across country unknowingly that Miss Finch is so discriminative that Big Bird belongs with birds. How do you like that? When he goes to live with the DoDos', he not happy with them he missed Snuffy and the others, so he leaves the DoDos and goes the long way back to Sesame Street. The other gang decide to do the same thing, also that meddlesome Miss Finch, the culprit behind this mess. Big Bird meets a lot of new people, one kid mistook him for a chicken, He's an 8'2" 6 year-old canary. It took a lot of effort and determination to get Big Bird back to his true home, Sesame Street. When that Miss Finch came back Maria(Sonia Manzano) tells Miss Finch family is diverse, and not discriminant. The last words from Miss Finch was "Case Dismissed". No one will ever see that bird ever again. With all the characters there from Bert& Ernie, Super Grover, Cookie Monster, and who else The Count. This is one movie you won't find on public TV, but it's education is some ways. 5 Stars!
