Sesame Street presents Follow That Bird (1985) is movie directed by Ken Kwapis, starring many Sesame Street characters (both puppets and live actors). This was the first-ever full-length Sesame Street feature film. It was followed in 1999 by Elmo in Grouchland.
Plot
Big Bird is sent by a pesky social service worker, who thinks he needs to be with his own kind (other birds, instead of the diverse Sesame Street) to Oceanview, Illinois, to live with a family of dodo birds. Unhappy, Big Bird sets off cross-country to return to Sesame Street, but he is caught by a group of travelling con artists and put on display for profit. Having learned of his (to them mysterious) disappearance after checking in with his 'adopted' family, Big Bird's friends set out on a wild multi-party search across the country to find their wayward comrade.
