Description

For 45 years, Caroll Spinney has been beloved by generations of children as the man behind Sesame Street's Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch - and at 80 years old, he has no intention of stopping. A loving portrait of the man in the yellow suit, I Am Big Bird features extraordinary footage of Spinney's earliest collaborations with Jim Henson as it traces his journey from bullied child to childhood icon. And as the yellow feathers give way to grey hair, it is the man, not the puppet, who will steal your heart.

    Very interesting indeed to get behind the scenes. Perhaps a bit overly adulatory, but fresh and worth watching.

    Nearly every day for the past 45 years, one man has put on an eight-foot-tall yellow suit and gone to work as Big Bird. His name is Caroll Spinney, and he’s the silver-haired subject of this loving documentary about a puppeteer who’s brightened the lives of countless children weaned on Sesame Street. Out of costume, Spinney is as impossibly sunny as his alter ego (with none of the crankiness of his other incarnation, Oscar the Grouch). At 80, he has no plans to hang up his feathers—welcome news for kids and parents everywhere.

  • An ABSOLUTE must-see

    Everyone knows Big Bird. Everyone loves Big Bird. But now, everyone can see the amazing man that has been beneath the feathers for almost a half of a century. This movie is heartwarming and heartbreaking, joyous and somber, and uplifting to the core. Please watch it. You won't regret it.
