  • Big Bird gets placed in a new home after being convinced it would be better for him, only to find it isn't and now is on the run to get home. Let's see how that works for a Sesame Street movie.

    Here’s a fun fact: Madame Chairbird would later become Big Bird’s aunt, Nani Bird and the owl would later become Hoots.

    It's rare that so many people grew up with this film more than Elmo in Grouchland, which is sad cause I grew up with that movie a whole lot more, but looking at this movie a lot of heart and soul was put in this film for Sesame Street fans and I could see why.

      I couldn't agree more. "Follow That Bird" felt like the world of "Sesame Street" reworked for the big screen. Whereas "Elmo In Grouchland" feels like one of those straight to VHS "Sesame Street" specials that got dumped onto the big screen at the last minute. I actually have a few ways that "Elmo In Grouchland" could've been fixed. Wanna hear them?

      I figure Elmo In Grouchland would've been fixed if there had been a subplot with Superbaby traveling through the skies trying to find him, narrowly escape a bald eagle after a long aerial chase, and then fight Huxley' bugs in one of those one man army battles during the climax.

      ​@@evancredeur7498Well one issue with Elmo's movie, is that unlike Big Bird's movie, it's framed more or less like an episode of the show which includes several instances of the film grinding to a hault to talk directly to the audience for no good reason, while Follow That Bird is simply the world of "Sesame Street" on a Cinematic scale in both tone and structure. Had Elmo's movie been filmed with the same mindset that Big Bird's movie had, and was maybe 10 minutes longer, it probably would've been a hell of a lot better.
