I’m looking forward to seeing this movie. I love anything I can get about the Muppets, especially from behind the scenes. Big Bird holds a piece of my heart and childhood. I have a deep love of Kermit, the quiet in the storm of the Muppet characters, but I love Big Bird as a sweet little boy. I love him like my nephews.
ESS – You will love this documentary then!! It opens today – but I’m pretty sure it’s also streaming online, as of today. If not, keep your eyes peeled for TV listings. It was wonderful!
