Most saddest and depressing movie ever!


Everytime I watch this it makes me cry, and at the same time it seems depressing. I cried as a kid and still do. Anyone else agree?

There are definitely plenty of melancholy moments but it's necessary to making the audience truly care about Big Bird's plight. I love that kid's movies of the '80s didn't try to "protect" children from reality. Today's kids are missing out on a lot.
