Every now and then the folks at “Sesame Street” deliver fun, kid-friendly parodies of popular films, and we’ve highlighted spoofs of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and The Hunger Games. And with the 87th Academy Awards looming this weekend, and Birdman being the frontrunner for some big awards, we’re happy to see them deliver Big Birdman: The Unexpected Virtue of Orange Pants, which puts Big Bird puppeteer Caroll Spinney in place of Michael Keaton’s Riggan Thompson. Not only is this fun, but it gets the score right, as well as the single-take style. There’s even areference to Raymond Carver. Watch! ›››
