I Am Big Bird

Take a peek behind those bright yellow feathers

As a child of the 80s, my early life was Sesame Street. My nephew can keep Elmo, Big Bird was my earliest friend. In I am Big Bird you learn about the man beneath the costume. Caroll Spinney was the body and voice of Big Bird for almost 50 years. This shows the journey of an ambitious puppeteer and how his fateful meeting with Jim Henson changed the world as I knew it! This features many other famous puppeteers and celebrities who had visits to Sesame Street over the years.
