Load of rubbish!!

How sad is this?

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This movie Among others that are based on children's TV show, this movie creates a wonderful story that actually goes with the flow!!This movie has every element of family entertainment that you can think of... adventure, morals, comic humor, and most of all, the Muppet's that make this movie so memorable for the whole family to enjoy!!!!!It really is the best Seasme Street movie to be made! It also creates the best children's movie ever made for us 90s kids out there who are looking for Nostalgia!!!

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.

This film was made in the pre-Elmo age, a better time for Sesame Street, and this was perhaps the zenith of the franchise, at least as far as entertainment. Despite being about a decade older than Sesame Street's target range, this is still one of my favorite movies. The entertainment provided by the classic characters, though simplistic, is clean, creative, and massive. Some may cry, "Nostalgia!" and "Bias!", but after many, many viewings of the movie, I can safely confide in my comments. If a British sitcom or other "high" humor is what tickles your funny bone, you may not appreciate it, but nearly everyone else will find at least enough fun to watch with their young relatives, if not on their own. It is, in my opinion, the greatest family film in existence.Now, some Spoiler-soaked highlights. Oscar's "Grouch National Anthem" Waylon Jennings and the gang singing "Ain't No Road" Ernie and Bert ALMOST reuniting with Big Bird Big Bird's rescue from his cage The tossed salad fight at the Don't Drop Inn.Do yourself a favor. Release the child in you, and see this movie again. I promise you'll love it.

stars: Dave Thomas and Joe Flaherty. cameos: Waylon Jennings, Chevy Chase, Sandra Bernhard, John Candy and others.Muppeteers: Carol Spinney as Big Bird and Oscar.Frank Oz as Bert, Grover and Cookie Monster.Jim Henson as Ernie and Kermit the frog.Martin P. Robinson as Telly and Snuffolupogous.Jerry Nelson as the Count.Richard Hunt as Gladys, Sully, Elmo and others.Great movie! It's about a group of birds deciding that Big Bird is lonely and relocating him with an adopted Bird family. Because he doesn't like the family, he runs away. Kermit the frog comes on the news telling everyone and Maria, Gordon, Oscar, The Count, Telly, Grover, Cookie Monster, Ernie, Bert and many others go searching for him by car, by helicopter and by flying(Super Grover). Great family fun for everyone. Even though it is based on an educational TV show, there isn't any numbers or learning here. It's got some really fun and funny moments and will has a sentimental value in my heart! rated G. 84 mins. my rating-A minus.
