After the Feathered Friends Society decides that Big Bird should be living with "his own kind," he's shipped to a new home with the Dodo family. But homesick and lonely, Big Bird flies the coop on a cross-country journey back to his friends. Getting back to Sesame Street won't be easy though, as he runs afoul of a sleazy duo who wants to clip his wings. A flock of celebrity cameos includes John Candy and Chevy Chase.
