i love this movie! it had great songs and a good story. i liked this one more than Big Bird in China...
Big Bird: "I have feathers. He has fleas."
Bamboo Princess: "I speak Japanese."
i agree, this movie is top quality sesame street material. i remember growing up with this short i taped off pbs with my mom, and later we would find out someone taped over it. gosh darn. in my opinion the greatest childrens program to ever run on pbs.
shareDarn! I didn't know he also went to China! Did he get lost there, too?

When visiting a Japanese home, take off your shoes in the outer room; then, when you meet your host(s), kneel & bow as DEEPLY as you can. The More deeply you bow, the more you are showing honor for your host(s).
