Review of I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story (2015) by Shane D — 16 Aug 2014

A fantastic retrospective of a lesser known fixture of the Henson Muppet family, the Caroll Spinney story is not one I've properly heard and it's a beautiful one. A wonderful look back at the man behind Big Bird, that was only let down by the fact that he has led a rather regular life.

Instead this felt like it might have been a more comfortable film if it had simply been a retrospective of the brilliance of Sesame Street. Strangely emotional and occasionally sad, but ultimately uplifting.
