My next few quotes are funny/interesting quotes from JD Hansel, Steve Swanson and Jarod Fairclough's podcast reviewing Once Upon a Sesame Street Christmas.
Steve: You said this is Caroll's Big Bird, are you sure?
JD: This is definitely Caroll.
Steve: Oh, I thought it was Matt, but alright.
JD: Wow, it's gotten to the point where Steve can't tell. Props to Matt.
Steve: Well, here's the thing: I didn't like Big Bird in this. My thought watching the special was is Big Bird really sleepy, or is he sad about something? Like someone please tell me because, he wasn't the Big Bird we know. He didn't have positive energy, he sounded kinda lethargic.
JD: That's what I noticed about Big Bird for the last few years, whether he's played by Caroll or Matt, he does seem rather sleepy. But that could just be to make him a good compliment to Elmo, because if he's hyper and energetic, he gets redundant. So he's gotta be the older child. He used to be a happy 6-year-old, now he's more of a chill 9-year-old who kinda has a younger brother.
