DVD Review: Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird - Page 2

The sing-along portion of the DVD is presented in full-screen, not in wide-screen. My guess is that these came from the first DVD transfer that Warner Bros. released in 2002. The 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen presentation of the feature (and the Caroll Spinney featurette ) gives the movie a vivid, fresh look that helps to keep it from showing it's age quite so much. The human hairstyles and clothing are a giveaway, but I suspect that the target audience (children) will too distracted by the muppets and the story to care.

Follow That Bird is classic Sesame Street programming. It is entertaining and poignant, without beating the viewer over the head with the message. I highly recommend this for parents of young children.
