The Adventures of Little Big Bird, Part 1
Season 36 (2005)
Diana Krall visits Sesame Street
In Episode 4107 of Sesame Street, the street scenes begin with Big Bird welcoming the viewer. A group of people, including Stephanie D'Abruzzo and Noel MacNeal, has gathered around to watch Mumford perform his new magic trick, the "big and little" trick. Mumford attempts to make a big letter M small, but the trick doesn't work, and he leaves to practice more.
After Mumford's failed trick, everyone notices that Big Bird has disappeared. Alan and Gordon assume Big Bird went to his playdate with Snuffy. However, Big Bird has actually become little due to Mumford's magic trick. As a small bird, Big Bird discovers a new perspective on the world and meets an ant who shares his experiences of being small.
Big Bird sings a song called "I'm Little," celebrating his new point of view. However, when Snuffy arrives for their playdate, he can't hear Big Bird's tiny voice and leaves to look for him. Big Bird realizes he doesn't want to be little anymore and decides to find Mumford to reverse the spell.
As Big Bird tries to get closer to Alan and Gordon, who are playing chess near Hooper's Store, he hopes they can help him find Mumford. He embarks on a journey toward Hooper's Store, facing challenges due to his small size.
In the end, Little Big Bird announces the sponsors of the episode and expresses his hope to be big again soon. Throughout this episode, Big Bird is performed by Caroll Spinney when he is big and by Matt Vogel when he is small.
