On August 11, 2015 comes I Am Big Bird: The Caroll
Spinney Story on DVD from Cinedigm and Tribeca Film with as SRP ($19.97). This
movie was directed by Dave LaMattina and Chad N. Walker. This is a documentary
about Caroll Spinney who for 45
years 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 gray hair, it is the man, not the puppet, who
will steal your heart. This also
includes bonus features, Deleted Scenes: Caroll on Camera, Caroll Meets Michael
Jackson, Oscar the Grouch, Big Bird’s Biggest Fan, First Date, Deb’s Song, and
Chinese Big Bird.
My Opinion: I am a
Sesame Street Fan as I watched it when I was a child so this movie was very
interesting following the life and career of Caroll Spinney and I found out
some very interesting facts about him.
