What is 4030 1/ 2 about and why would you want it as a bonus feature?
Its actually Sesame Street 4-D Movie Magic, a 3-D(or in this case, 4-D)show being aired only at Universal Studios Japan. Basically, it was made in the US a few years ago, but never aired there. Anyway, they dubbed it in Japanese, as they did with all the attractions from the American Universal theme parks. Anyway, about the show...
In the preshow, we see a bunch of SS Muppets in a projection room putting finishing touches on their movies for the Sesame Street Film Festival. Only two trailers are shown, The Count`s The Counting Kid Counts Again, which starred The Count as a cowboy who counts things, and this all took place in the Arbor area. The next preview to be shown is Prarie Dawn`s Pretty Space Ponies, which was filmed at Prarie`s house and it had her, Zoe, Telly, and the Two-Headed Monster pretending to be the `Space Ponies`. But then the projector breaks! Everyone leaves but Elmo, being the only one left in the theater, has an idea that they can still have a Film Festival by using their imaginations to make their own movies Okay, part 2, theres the SS logo and Big Bird appears in it, saying You all look great in your 3D glasses! Then the Twiddlebugs appear with the number 4 and the letter D. Big Bird comes out of the Subway station and sings `Welcome to Sesame Street`, or something like that. He then walks over to the 123 apartment and sees Ernie, Bert, Cookie, Grover, Telly, and Zoe, all looking depressed, and they tell why. Then Elmo appears riding on his tricycle and bumps into a crate next to Oscar`s can and the audience feels the crash effect on their seats! Oscar pops up(I think he might have liked that). As soon as everyone is there, the `imaginary film festival` starts. Each character takes turns on imagining their movie. The characters who imagined their movies are: Grover, Ernie and Bert, Cookie, Oscar and Elmo(not separately but together, same with Bert and Ernie). Surprised that Big Bird and Zoe didnt get to make their own movies, but ah well. Anyway, heres the order: Grover imagines hes a coyboy, a firefighter with a Muppetized firehose that shoots water at the audience, and then Super Grover...and he gets hit by a huge boudler that pops out of nowhere. Ernie and Bert imagine that theyre in a desert, a bathtub(in their home maybe?), and then the ocean floor, where Ernie plays fetch with a dogfish and a purple octopus sneaks behind Bert and grabs him but doesnt want to hurt him, but rather, do the tango. Cookie Monster imagines a monster movie called Cookie Monster vs Monster Cookie, which starts with a huge article on a newspaper with a picture of Cookie Monster on the Empire State Building, and AMs start screaming but Cookie says that the `monster` is behind them! And so they all turn around and see a huge cookie flying like a UFO squirting chocolate all over. Cookie tries to defeat him but no matter how hard he tries, he cant. So he pretends to just give up and walk away, and the huge cookie flies over his shoulder and Cookie smashes him into pieces...and sucks them in like a vaccum cleaner. And then, Oscar and Elmo. Oscar imagines a story of what happens when the street gets turned into a dump inhabited by trash-loving insects(actually the Pesties)that crawl under your legs! And also there are 5 stinky, singing socks that sing I Love Trash. The sky turns gray and rain falls on peoples heads(Oh and in one scene Grover is reading a newspaper and on the front theres a picture of Oscar frowning. Maybe Oscar is playing the character whos caused all this I dont know) Anywho, from there, Elmo comes up with an ending to that, with party decorations, balloons, and whatnot...and I think everyone decides that theyre done with imagining their movies and they go back to Sesame Street, and from there, the audience gets to step through the screen and theres a replica of the SS set. And there`s all the Muppets-Cookie, Ernie and Bert, Oscar, Grover, Big Bird, Zoe, Elmo, Count, Prairie and Telly, all back on the same old street, all being interviewed by a lavender female AM Muppet(who I think is, like all the movies they imagined, is a figment of their imagination). This was pretty much like a Season 33-34 episode because it had 3 parts that took place on the street and all connected to one big storyline.
