A deep and in-depth look at famous puppeteer Caroll Spinney and his life and career as two of educational television's most iconic charcters of all time: Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch. A loving portrait of the man in the yellow suit, I Am Big Bird features extraordinary footage of Spinney's earliest collaborations with Jim Henson as it traces his journey from bullied child to childhood icon. And as the yellow feathers give way to grey hair, it is the man, not the puppet, who will steal your heart.
