Hi,

Who here remembers the 1985 Sesame Street film, Follow That Bird?

The plot starts with Big Bird being eyed for adoption by a family of dodos living in Oceanview, IL, for which their own two children were named after the two most notable siblings in the Osmond family. The adoption was suggested by an organization known as Feathered Friends, headed by one Miss Finch (Sally Kellerman). Big Bird initially tries out hanging around with them after being on Sesame Street for all that time, but he soon grows tired of the traditional path his adopted family was taking. Soon after our 8-foot-2 hero makes his way out the door of the dodos' house, this is where the real journey starts.

But ... one thought as to the cast: do you think that the Sleaze Brothers' roles could've been played by the Blues Brothers? You know, Dan Aykroyd (as Sam) and the late John Belushi (as Sid)?
