Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
B.J. Rice This is a really cute kids movie with some really great cameos (was that John Candy?) If your kids like Sesame Street and/or the Muppets they will love this movie. Great stuff. Can't recommend it any more highly, almost as good as the original Muppets!

tiana_hayden I have this movie recorded on an old video tape some where but the image is distorted now so I was so happy to see it available again. It reminds me when I was 6 and saw this with my grandma and it amazed me how I remembered the songs and all the cameos in it to this day. My son loves the movie now and it's cute to see him singing the same songs I used to sing when I was his age. It's also fun to see all the different characters all together and it sends a good message to your kids about family and to learn to love differences in everybody. In my opinion this is a good family movie and if you enjoy just sitting down with your kids and watching something where you don't have to worry about cussing, nudity or blood but still be entertained... then this movie's for you!
Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) 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!
