Sesame
street long time favorite of both children and adults and a PBS founding
staple, "eds.". Big Bird, Miss Piggy, Cookie Monster, class mascots
Bert and Ernie are only a few of the beloved characters involved with this
popular show set on a street in mid-town. With numerous puppet shows running
concurrently along with short skits and songs, the audience never goes away
feeling bored.
The
puppets are all made from plush fabric, hand-sewn specifically for that
character. Each character comes with its own bag, umbrella, shoes, scarf, book,
and bag. The bags come in various shapes, like a bottle, and can be filled with
candy, beads, or almost anything else you can imagine to make it a unique bag.
Other items like Sesame Street puppets Cookie Monster and an alien have also
been released for sale and street dresses worn by the characters.
Several
places sell Eddy Street Puppets. For those looking to complete a full set of
puppets, there are several options. While the most common is a brick and mortar
retailer, there are also numerous websites on the internet that allow you to
purchase a complete unit at a low cost. Prices vary depending on the
manufacturer and type of fabric used. You may also find ready-made sets
available at craft fairs.
For
those wanting to start a collection of puppets of their own, there are many
options available to do just that. The Sesame Street website offers several
videos featuring the Muppets performing various acts and scenes. Several photos
accompany these videos. One of the most popular videos featured is Cookie
Monster's "I'm Feeling Lucky." Other videos include The Pink Flamingo
Show, Fozzy's World, Baby Einstein, and The Check It Out Show.
While
the puppets themselves are pretty simple in design, the costumes allow the
performers to really bring the character to life. The costumes feature
recognizable aspects of the Muppets, from the famous "We're Just
Friends" sweater to the sweatshirts worn by Miss Gonzo and Mr. Roger. Sesame
Street itself has several different styles of costumes available. All of them
are short, made of soft plush material, and feature recognizable Sesame Street
Mp3's.
As
with most other puppets of this era, most Sesame Street Mp3s feature clips from
the famous movies or shows featured on the show. There are also a handful of
original songs included. Although the early 1970s depictions of these
characters were largely uninspired, it seems that the popularity of these
street puppets has transcended that early stereotype. Many websites and
individuals are devoted to providing fans with early 1970s Mp3s featuring
Kermit the Frog, Mike and miss Fuzzy, and those featuring the "Big
Bird" musical numbers.
While
not all early and mid-era Mp3s featured Big Bird or other recognizable faces,
many did. Some notable Mp3s that feature Big Bird is featured on the Big Bird
Candy Shop website and other animals' images, like a penguin. Other early and
mid-1970s Mp3s feature dogs, cats, dinosaurs, and other animals. A couple of
vinyl packages even feature three-dimensional objects resembling people, such
as a couple of bears.
In
addition to an array of characters, an additional segment of late-carefully
decorated Mp3s focuses on the puppeteers' actual performances. Most of these
performers are African-American. These performers' work is impressive, with the
consistent use of high-end, soulful music and memorable vocal intros. A handful
of videos have also been produced featuring various other actors and puppeteers
of color.
