This was my favorite movie as a kid,,,watch it again, you'll be surprised at what was considered to be quality programing. my 4 year old doesn't care for this movie at all, she didn't think it was funny and there were a few scenes that freaked her out...I would maybe allow a ten year old or up to watch this.

What Parents Need to Know
About Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird
Parents need to know that little ones might be confused about why the "Feathered Friends" take Big Bird away from his home on Sesame Street and place him in a home with another family. The social-worker-as-villain concept might seem a bit odd to anyone who has adopted a child, but Big Bird does end up in his rightful, colorful place: on Sesame Street.
