Follow That Bird Memorable Scenes

[anythingmuppet]

I just watched my bought-in-1998 VHS copy of Follow That Bird for the 4th time in my basement and my favorite scenes were:

When Bert dropped his bottlecaps
When Snuffy sent BB a postcard the same size of the postman
When Grover crashed into the Volkswagon Beetle
When Big Bird came home to SS.

Big Bird crying...oh, my that was awful! Awfully memorable, that is!

Love the two passengers on the plane sitting in front of Big Bird. Great hair do's AND to top it all off, one of the girls was reading a Muscle and Fitness magazine. Wonder where they are now! Haha!

Don't think I ever saw this thread before. Oh well, I will mention some of my favorite/memorable scenes:

--"The Grouch Anthem" (wonderful opening with this number featuring Oscar in front of a giant American flag. I wonder what the idea was behind this.)
--When Big Bird says goodbye to everyone, ESPECIALLY the Snuffy scene.
--Big Bird on the plane singing really loud. "LA LA LA LA...*ahem*..."
--Big Bird's letter.
--Kermit's cameo.
--The "wild goose chase" meeting at Hooper's Store.
--When Big Bird meets the turkey truck driver and the whole "Ain't No Road Too Long" sequence. Big Bird: "But my friend Oscar always says that I'm a 'big turkey'." Driver: "Well, I don't guess I can argue with that. Hop in!"
--"One Little Star" with Big Bird, Olivia and Snuffy.
--"Easy Goin' Day"
--Bert and Ernie's "Upside-Down World"
--Big Bird imagines Snuffy
--When the kids sneak backstage to see Big Bird in the cage. The close up of that real tear rolling down his beak always chokes me up.
--When all the friends are at the carnival trying to save Big Bird from the cage. Especially Linda getting the keys from Sam, and Cookie getting the cookies from Sid. "Don't wake up, don't wake up. Thank you. Ha ha." Is it safe for me to say that it is Grover's fault that the brothers woke up?
--Olivia ripping Gordon's pants.
--Maria's monologue at the end.
--When they are pushing the VW around the corner with Cookie still chopping on the hood. "Gordon, what happened to the car?" "Don't ask me, ask him!"
--Oscar's last lines with Bruno walking down the street. "Once more around the block, Bruno...I gotta walk off some of this happy stuff." Bruno stopping to watch all the kids. Oscar looks right at him and says "Bruno, come on."
--The Count counts the credits.

I liked that part. I guess Waylon Jennings died recently, so I consider "No Road Too Long" a very memorable moment.

--Oscar's last lines with Bruno walking down the street. "Once more around the block, Bruno...I gotta walk off some of this happy stuff." Bruno stopping to watch all the kids. Oscar looks right at him and says "Bruno, come on."

I recall Bruno responding to this by saying, "Okay, boss." That was probably the only time he ever spoke. I don't know who did the voice though.

Carroll Spinney played Bruno at the same time as performing Oscar. Spinney is in the Bruno costume and there is a hole connecting Bruno's stomache and Oscar's can for Spinney's arm to go through to manipulate Oscar. Bruno was created as a way to mobilize Oscar back in the earlier days. Cool, huh!
