Movie Reviews of The World According to Sesame Street
Movie Review: Great documentary, wish there were special features
Summary: 4 Stars
This documentary is an in-depth look at how productions of acclaimed children's show Sesame Street "translates" into similar series in other countries. While this movie is not for children, it does share the thoughtful, caring process used to include each country's unique set of values and issues in a children's show. The DVD does not have any special features - I was hoping to see one international episode in its entirety so I could see the final product after watching the behind-the-scenes work that goes into making it. But the documentary itself does show clips from a handful of various countries.
Summary of The World According to Sesame Street
Did you know that Cookie Monster speaks Albanian and Serbian? Or that Kami, a South African Muppet sings in Zulu? Have you met Tuktuki, a new character who might reach over 13 million kids in Bangladesh? In more than 120 countries all over the globe, Sesame Workshop and an international team of Muppets tackle the world's most challenging issues for 3-5 year olds including: HIV/AIDS in South Africa, post conflict resolution in a divided Kosovo, school and play for kids in Bangladesh where kids start working at 5 years old. The World According to Sesame Street explores the behind-the-scenes drama, challenges, and rewarding outcome of producing local versions of the world's most watched children's television program. The film follows dedicated Sesame producers around the globe as they team with local producers to bring to life the shows in Bangladesh, Kosovo and South Africa. The World According to Sesame Street celebrates the child in each of us, the critical need and desire for children's education around the globe, and the enduring love that adults have for Sesame Street and all its characters. Reccomended for ages 13 and up.Anime & Manga DVD Video
