I Am Big Bird -The Caroll Spinney Story

Join the Velaslavasay Panorama Enthusiast Society and DJ Lance Rock (Yo Gabba Gabba!) for a special screening of this touching documentary about the life and work of Caroll Spinney, who has been Sesame Street's Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch since 1969. I Am Big Bird features incredible footage of Spinney's earliest collaborations with Jim Henson and traces Caroll's journey in giving life some of the most beloved characters on earth for children and adults alike.

The film will be preceded by an introduction with DJ Lance Rock who is well known for his own contributions to childrens' (and adults) imagination and confidence through the characters, songs and hi-jinx of Yo Gabba Gabba! (http://www.yogabbagabba.tv/)
