Follow That Bird (1985)


Warner Bros.
Directed by Ken Kwapis
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Warner Bros.)

A well-meaning social worker convinces Big Bird that he need to live with his own kind, and finds him a foster family in the midwest. After a tearful goodbye on Sesame Street, he flies out to meet them. They turn out to be Dodo birds, and he has a hard time adapting to their silly and ignorant lifestyle. He decides to walk back to Sesame Street, having a series of misadventures along the way. Sort of a lesser cousin to the original Muppet Movie, it still has its moments, including an incredible scene in the "Don't Drop Inn", a diner for Grouches with Sandra Bernhard as a waitress and Paul Bartel the cook!
