Follow That Bird is as much a journey through time as it is a romp past the Sesame Street stop sign. Curiously, the cast members--live ones like Gordon and Maria, not just the Muppets--have the timeless look to them. Only the cameos (by Sandra Bernhard, John Candy, and others) plus a few ill-conceived hairdos clue us in that this feature film was made in 1985. Otherwise, it's all sophisticated Sesame humor and bighearted fun here as Oscar, the Count, and crew set off to rescue Big Bird, who's on the lam from a family of adoptive dodos. Only one conceivable complaint: The latter crop of Street viewers may miss Elmo, who hadn't been created when Bird first flew into theaters. --Tammy La Gorce

Rating:  - Follow that Bird
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.
Rating:  - Realities of the Human Condition
This is an interesting movie in that it really shows some 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 needs to leave his Sesame Street family to live with a bird family. (The Dodos) I don't know if they were aware of the harsh reality they exposed. More often than not, it seems these agencies make decisions and pass judgment WITHOUT knowing what they are talking about or really establishing the facts. (Without going into too many details, I do have experience with these places, and they often make poor decisions without understanding the situations they are dealing with.) If we want to expand a bit further, the great Shakespeare put it well when he said in his "King Lear:" 'striving to better, oft we mar what's well.' Moving on, Miss Finch (of the agency) goes to Sesame Street and convinces Big Bird that he will be happier with the Dodo family. (In Illinois) Back in New York, Big Bird's friends at Sesame Street are of course upset, but they agree that Big Bird has the right to try it if he wants to. Big Bird's friend Mr. Snuffalupugus is especially sad, but Big Bird promises that he will send him a letter when he can visit. Without going on too long about them, the Dodos actually make the naive Big Bird look really smart, and while he can tolerate their lack of intelligence, he can not tolerate their refusal to let Mr. Snuffalupugus visit. (The Dodo's don't like Mr. Snuffalupugus ... Read More

Rating: - My 3 year old was crying
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.
Rating: - Perfect for Toddlers
My little one loves this movie. It was one of my favorites growing up so why not stick with what you know best. Even better in DVD- then the old VHS!
