Kevin P Jan 21 Bittersweet documentary about the career of one of the most beloved puppeteers of all time. See more dave d 02/19/2021 Carol Spinney was the man behind Sesame Street's Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch and when the movie focuses on him it's wonderful. The documentarians try to also summarize a lot of broader muppet topics. If you're into this kind of thing, you'll like it! Final Score: 8/10 See more 12/16/2020 Really lovely. It's honest, without being brutal or melodramatic; heartfelt, without being overly sentimental; informative, without being didactic or newsy. Caroll is portrayed very well as an empathetic, artistic and family-centred man who is much loved by those around him... and by millions around the world. The insights into his relationship with Jim Henson are interesting, as well See more 12/02/2020 This documentary gets you closer to Big Bird than you ever thought possible! The level of creativity behind Spinney's characters, is enough to make any adult a fan of Big Bird, if weren't already.

Being somebody that has an interest in getting a look behind the scenes, "I am Big Bird" met my expectations quite well. Anybody who grew up watching "Sesame Street" should give this documentary a look. I think they will enjoy it very much. See more 09/12/2020 Wonderful documentary.
