Follow That Bird
The first road movie that came to mind, was one I used to watch as a child. The 1985 movie Follow That Bird, was an excellent road movie about Big Bird trying to get back to Sesame Street. Big Bird is adaopted by a family of dodo birds and after realizing he did not fit with this family, he ran away and began his trip back to Sesame Street. Although this is a children's movie, I've always enjoyed it because of the message it portrayed. The movie makes it clear to all that family is where the heart is whether you're different or the same. Also, understanding who you are can be a long journey. By using cute sing-a-long songs and the rest of the Sesame Street cast, the director, Ken Kwapis, displayed a great message for children as well as adults to understand and enjoy.
