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.

Follow that Bird is a great children's movie. Unlike other Sesame Street productions it can be enjoyable for children well into elementary school, and even parents! All is well on Sesame Street, that is until it comes to the Bird Society's attention that Big Bird is not living with a proper bird family. They send out Ms. Finch, a social worker who is to place our favorite yellow muppet with a bird family. While nervous at first, Big Bird gets excited about the idea of a bird family and is sent to Illinois to live with the Dodos. The Dodos are rather dopey and strange, and Big Bird misses his friends on Sesame Street. Big Bird finally gives up on the Dodos and runs away when they say they do not want him to be friends with Snuffy, as he should have "bird friends". When the gang on Sesame Street hear Big Bird is running home they send out a search party to find him, including Maria, Linda, Gordon, Super Grover, Oscar, the Count, Cookie Monster, Bert, Ernie,and the honkers. We then follow Big Bird's journey home to Sesame Street in New York, while all his friends search high and low for him. On his trip he manages to find help from some farm kids and a friendly truck driver, but also gets kidnapped by the "Sleaze Brothers", two carnies who want him to be a sideshow attraction in their carnival. It is then up to the rest of the gang from Sesame Street to rescue their favorite yellow bird and take him home! I love this movie. It's something I loved when I was little and even if my daughter watches it over and over I don't get annoyed. It has a solid plot and is not just for preschoolers like many other Sesame Street productions. There is a clear positive message of the importance of diversity and even trans-racial adoption. There is also a good message of "don't talk to strangers" and shows the danger of trusting people too eager to get you into their car. While some have said this aspect of the movie is too scary, I disagree. It's far from traumatizing, and it is important that children have some level of fear of people who are clearly up to no good. Follow That Bird is both Jim Henson and Big Bird in their prime. It's definitely better than any Elmo movies, and a must for any Sesame Street fans, young and old.

Follow That Bird is a five star event that has spectacular music. In my opinion Follow That Bird is a movie the whole family will enjoy. My favorite part is when the Muppet patrons order tossed salad and the Muppet Grouch cook gives them what they ordered via slingshot. Big Bird of Sesame Street is much smarter than the DoDo family of Canary Road. Like their name the Dodos behave extremely ridiculous and Big Bird would rather return to his familiar surroundings Sesame Street. Sandra Berhnard played a Grouch waitress and John Candy played the state trooper both were excellent. The movie was filmed in Canada. The scenery was peaceful rural farmland with fields of corn. Other notable characters, Sally Kellerman sweet voice suited Miss finch. Buy the movie you will love it!

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!
