Big Bird in Japan
Dir: Jon Stone
1989

I love Big Bird, it's so nice to see that Carroll Spinney has continued to perform for all these years and long may he continue. Big Bird in Japan is a little odd at times but if you love Big Bird/Sesame Street/The Muppets as much as I do you will forgive the questionable storyline, the weird Bamboo lady and the unintentional racism. Hats off to Brian Muehl as well, how he controls Barkley and stays on all fours for so long is beyond me. It's may not be as memorable as Big Bird in China but it's a must for fans.
