Follow That Bird

I have never seen this movie before as it came out less than 4 years before I was born. This August it will have been 30 years since the original theatrical release. Did anyone here see it back in 1985?

I heard that Easy Goin Day was re-shot in the winter because the film got damaged. And all the trees were spray painted green. Is that true?
So it was most likely shot in the summer of 1984, with the retake of Easy Goin Day in January/February 1985?
I'm So Blue is a very sad song, btw. I almost left home for a summer job this year and even though I would love to do it if I lived within driving distance, I don't know if I'd be able to leave my friends. If I did it, then I would feel just like Big Bird when he sings I'm So Blue and One Little Star.

I saw Follow That Bird a long time ago once on DVD. It was pretty good.

I'm 36. I saw it in the theater a few times, as well as later on. I also had the book. I don't remember what the difference was between the book and the movie, but there was one thing that was different and I remember it drove me nuts even at about 6 years old.

I am Fire. I am...DEATH!
Well Thief, where are you? Come now, don't be shy. Step into the light!

Wow thanks for the scare, wow 30 years that the movie as been around, for what I recall hearing that I was taken to see the movie in its orginial release, but I wouldn't remember seeing it in the movie theaters. But if you like Sesame Street I reccomend you to watch the movie, it is a great movie to watch even if you don't have kids, and you would be better young to have kids but it does seem that there are people that do have kids young.

Watched the entire thing on Youtube, it was pretty good. Ain't No Road Too Long is a really catchy song. lol. I'm a big country fan, especially stuff from back then, certainly not the stuff from today, yuck. My mom and dad were 26 back in 1985, now I'm the age THEY were when this movie came out. Of course they had no kids back then so why the hell would they see it? but my 2nd cousins were little kids so I wonder if my aunts took them to see it.
