Blog:Third Sesame Street Movie (FAKE)

The untitled Sesame Street movie is an upcoming 2022 American children's adventure film. It will be the third film to be based on the children's television series Sesame Street, after Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird (1985) and The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland (1999), and the first non-theatrical one. The movie will be dedicated to Caroll Spinney and Jerry Nelson, who passed away while the movie was in development.

The movie was supposed to star Chris Brown, Ryan Dillon, Matt Vogel, Leslie Carrara-Rudolph, Eric Jacobson, David Rudman, Frankie Cordero, Alan Muraoka, Suki Lopez, Ryan Kaji, and Bill Irwin before the crew realized that the latter two were unavailable for the film. Its original script was also heavily altered due to negative feedback from the cast and crew.

Plot
Elmo and friends disappear from Sesame Street and end up in Manhattan. Eventually, they find out that Mr. Naughty (portrayed by Bill Irwin) and his son Little Naughty have made them disappear from the neighborhood and try to stop him.

Why It Can't Get Back to Street

 * 1) The movie was originally supposed to replicate the success of Elmo's World and the HBO Max-exclusive special Furry Friends Forever, which would have made it extremely unfaithful to the show it was based on. Thankfully, the original script was heavily altered for the reasons mentioned below.
 * 2) Most of the movie is just plain goofiness and brainless fluff with the humor constantly taking up its focus.
 * 3) Elmo in this movie is very much the opposite of his TV show counterpart; he has been flanderized to become a mean-spirited, unfunny, annoying, obnoxious, loud, idiotic, and overall very grating monster.
 * 4) *He also shares some traits with Puppet Blue, her playmates, and Joe from Blue's Clues.
 * 5) *He blames his friends for their teleportation from Sesame Street to Manhattan when they didn't have anything to do with it.
 * 6) *He cares more about himself than helping the gang get back to Sesame Street, which makes him narcissistic.
 * 7) *Along with Abby Cadabby, he spends too much time fooling around Manhattan and making unfunny jokes.
 * 8) **Speaking of which, the humor is unfunny and falls flat.
 * 9) ***Most of the jokes are basically unfunny zoo and animal puns, first made when the gang walk by a zoo.
 * 10) ***During the climax, Abby makes Mr. Naughty pass out by making her shoes disappear and shove her bare feet onto him.
 * 11) ***Other jokes include Abby turning everything and everyone in New York City into random things, Elmo laughing after almost every single sentence, and Mr. Naughty coming up with schemes to stop the gang only to fail miserably.
 * 12) *He never shows any remorse for all the chaos he causes throughout the movie.
 * 13) The villains Mr. and Little Naughty are rip-offs of the Noodle Family from Elmo's World. They are incredibly dumb and can't do anything right.
 * 14) *It doesn't help that Mr. Naughty is portrayed by Bill Irwin, Mr. Noodle's actor.
 * 15) *Their names are incredibly laughable, generic, childish, and dull.
 * 16) *Mr. Naughty himself fails at almost every plan he creates to stop our heroes like Robbie Rotten from LazyTown. However, there is no charm whatsoever to him and he clearly lacks what made Robbie so funny and likable.
 * 17) **He attempts to trap the gang into a giant dunk tank, but fails to hit the target multiple times.
 * 18) **He tries to invent pants that can't be taken off, but when his invention is complete he puts a pair on and his lower half gets stuck to it.
 * 19) The characters, especially Elmo, break the fourth wall non-stop and explain many of the scenes to them.
 * 20) A few characters have laughable voice acting:
 * 21) *Caroll Spinney, Big Bird's primary VA/puppeteer for nearly 50 years, retired in 2018 while the movie was still in development and died a year later. Much like in the HBO seasons of Sesame Street, his successor Matt Vogel makes Big Bird sound nasally and deeper than a 6-year-old.
 * 22) *Abby's voice is scratchy, whiny, and just plain irritating.
 * 23) The only characters confirmed to appear in the movie are Chris, Mr. and Little Naughty, Alan, Nina, Elmo, Abby Cadabby, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, the Count, Grover, Tango, and Oscar. No other Muppets (Zoe, Prairie Dawn, the Two-Headed Monster, Bert and Ernie, Guy Smiley, Rudy, etc.) or humans (Gordon, Bob, Susan, Maria, Luis, Gina, Miles, and Gabi) are anywhere to be found.
 * 24) *It doesn't help that Gordon, Bob, Susan, Maria, Luis, and Gina were dropped from Sesame Street after its 45th season.
 * 25) Unnecessary product placement for Android, HBO Max, Facebook, KFC, PBS Kids, and The Land Before Time.
 * 26) *Ironically, TLBT creators Tony Geiss and Judy Freudberg used to work on Sesame Street before their respective deaths in 2011 and 2012.
 * 27) Horrible ending song, which is the gang singing the words "Sesame Street" over and over to the tune of Jingle Bells.
 * 28) Multiple unfortunate implications:
 * 29) *At a restaurant somewhere in Manhattan, Elmo decides to sit next to Chris. When a waitress comes by to take their orders, Elmo tells her they would like some fried chicken. Because Chris is African-American, the scene implies that black people only eat fried chicken and watermelon. This is extremely racist and false.
 * 30) **What makes matters worse is that the movie is set to be released in 2022, two years after the murder of George Floyd.
 * 31) *Abby Cadabby acts like a spoiled brat throughout the entire film.
 * 32) *At one point, Abby tries to poof up a book about how long it takes to get to Sesame Street, but ends up making a calculator appear instead and has trouble calculating the miles from Manhattan to the gang's neighborhood. This implies that girls are better at reading than math, which is very harmful and sexist towards girls.
 * 33) *Abby randomly yells in front of the gang, "Fairies aren't supposed to wear these silly clothes!" Because she originally only wore a glittery light blue dress in on Sesame Street before her wardrobe change in Season 49, this is also quite sexist as it implies that girls should only wear "girls' clothes".
 * 34) Despite the movie being intended for preschoolers, it has a bit of physical violence in the climax with Abby making a chair appear under Mr. Naughty and spinning him around to the point where he hits his head from falling off.
 * 35) Barely any morals or educational value, despite the movie being based on a preschool show.
 * 36) Plot hole: How did Mr. Naughty make the gang disappear from Sesame Street? This is never explained.
