Review of I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story (2015) by Stephen J — 27 Aug 2016

Wonderfully heartwarming, I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story captures four decades of Spinney's affection and love for both muppets and children. Though a bit melancholy bordering on sappy, I Am Big Bird demonstrates Spinney's pure artistry, personal integrity, and how a sorrowful childhood can result in a bountifully flourishing adulthood.

As an aside, it was lovely to see a married couple so focused on each other's greater good. Overall, a touching, if not maudlin, nostalgic, and enjoyable documentary.
