Big Bird is sent to live far from Sesame Street by a pesky social worker, who thinks it would be better for him to live with other birds. Unhappy, Big Bird runs away from his foster home, prompting the rest of the Sesame Street gang to go on a cross-country journey to find him.

Basil, Louis the otter, Dodi the green adventurer and Elmo the furry red monster go camping and after Basil hears a noise, embark on a medieval adventure.

Starring electronic-music pioneer Beverly Glenn-Copeland and conceived by his wife and creative partner Elizabeth, this never-before-seen pilot for an unproduced children’s show is a joyous, colorful kaleidoscope of handmade puppets, eye-whirling archival montage, and Glenn-Copeland’s transcendent music. Though the planned series ultimately never came to fruition due to Glenn-Copeland’s subsequent dementia diagnosis, this small treasure is a testament to the radiant imagination of a singularly serene, inspirational life force who is a beacon to both underground music and the trans community.
