Vila Sésamo - Onde Está o Garibaldo?

This is a wonderful film for children ages 8 and under. Parents of children that age will be very grateful for a childrens film which has zero bathroom humor or any other crudity. Now I am no prude, but in a day and age when young children are treated to scenes of wart hogs with gas (Lion King) or the sight of a dog hiking it's leg to relieve itself with a commentary(Homeward Bound), it is just nice to have something completely harmless for the little ones. I had to comment because this film deserved more than just to have a listing of: In Memory of Waylon Jennings. This film is a credit to the wonderful creativity of people like Jim Henson, who put quality children programs ahead of the easier, poorly made childrens fare.

This is a really cute kids movie with some really great cameos (was that John Candy?) If your kids like Sesame Street and/or the Muppets they will love this movie. Great stuff. Can't recommend it any more highly, almost as good as the original Muppets!

I am 20 years old, and this has to be one of my all time favorite movies! My dad and I watch it together all the time. Maybe this is from me being a Child of the 80's, but I love the older cast of Sesame Street. This movie has so many funny moments. I think my personal favorite part of the movie is when Oscar and Maria are in the Grouch resturant, Don't Drop Inn, and Maria orders a tossed salad... little did she know the salad would be "tossed" over her way! Anyway, a wonderful movie for all ages, that is if you too grew up watching Sesame Street. :)

While there is nothing really spectacular about this film, I'd still recommend it based on the good performances by Chevy Chase, Dave Thomas, Joe Flaherty, the late Waylon Jennings as a truck driver, and the late John Candy as a policeman.

Big Bird is the central character in this film. A social worker, upon seeing that Big Bird doesn't live with other birds, sets him up with a Dodo family to be adopted.

Unfortunately he is not happy in his new surroundings, and runs away from home, trying to get back to Sesame Street. On the way home, he encounters adventure with all kinds of people, and discovers where he really wants to be. His true home, Sesame Street.

I recommend it for Sesame Street aged kids. The adults will enjoy the cameos.

This movie may be a little dated (It may be hard to believe, but it came out almost 20 years ago!), but it is definitely one of the best Sesame Street movies ever written.

I am amazed at the cast of this movie: Sandra Bernhard, Chevy Chase, Waylon Jennings, and Joe Flaherty just to name a few. They definitely add "spice" to an already good movie.

If you or your child is looking for a nice Sesame Street movie, I definitely recommend "Follow That Bird". I think it recently came out on DVD. If you have already seen it, you should see "Big Bird in Japan" or "Big Bird in China". However, they (especially "Big Bird in Japan")are a bit harder to find, and I don't think they're out on DVD yet, but they are on VHS. I do not recommend "The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland", however.
