I Am Big Bird (12A)

A heart-warming documentary of Caroll Spinney, who has embodied Sesame Street’s Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch since 1969. Now 81, Spinney has no plans to hang up his costume and he continues to perform with enthusiasm and gusto, thrilling a new generation of wide-eyed children as his bright yellow, feathered alter-ego. The documentary surveys four decades from Spinney’s childhood to his collaborations with Jim Henson including rare footage of their early days together.
