A bird boardroom wants Big Bird to live with a bird family. They send in Miss Finch who convinces him to leave Sesame Street and live with a bird family in Illinois. His new family, the Dodos, wants him to associate only with other birds. His best friend Mr. Snuffleupagus wants to visit, but the Dodos rejects the idea. He decides to runaway back to Sesame Street. Everybody is pursuing him including Sid Sleaze (Joe Flaherty) and Sam Sleaze (Dave Thomas) who want him for their traveling zoo.
It's Sesame Street, just mostly away from Sesame Street. It has the gentle innocence of Big Bird. It's not trying to be too modern although they have Chevy and some SCTV people. It's a little odd to have the new bird people. The Sesame Street characters are mostly playing side roles. Bert and Ernie flying the plane is funny. This is mostly kind-hearted humor with a few songs.
