I seriously think Sesame Street needs help. I think it's dying & I'd hate if they took it off the air so I've created an idea for a new Sesame Street movie that follows, "Follow that Bird" & "Elmo in Grouchland." I don't know what I want the plot to be. I tried one but I seemed to be making a sequel to Follow that Bird. I want the story to surrond Oscar & I also want Robin Williams to have a role as a gallery security guard. If anyone has an idea for a script maybe give me some ideas. Remember this is a kids movie.
Oh, & I also want to have a scene at the beginning at the movie where it looks like Big Bird & Elmo are running the movie theatre projector & they have problems.
LET'S DO IT! Now scram!!! (A quote by Oscar the Grouch)
Hmm, I don't know but think Sesame Street has become very twee and sickly sweet these days. Elmo needs a serious case of grouchiness so I wonder if there is some kind of storyline that could be developed around that them eg. a grouchy virus goes around Sesame Street and they go searching for a doctor who will cure it.
Of course, the grouches such as Oscar will get even grumpier about the idea of a "cure" and eventually it will be decided that everybody needs a little bit of grouchiness in their lives now and then so they won't be boring any more. This will make Oscar happy but then he will be grumpy again because he is a grouch, after all.
I used to watch Sesame Street years ago when it first came out and think it was much better in those days. They had the two hapless repairmen, Buddy and Jim, who were forever getting into muddles with ladders and paint. Since it is now 30 years or so later, maybe they could have the sons of Buddy and Jim.
Then there was also the counting pieman who eventually used to drop all his cakes and pies. He would surely be good for a cameo role in any movie. We musn't forget the count either - no movie would be complete without him.
I like the idea but I think it may be too strong for a kids movie but yeah I like the idea. Maybe an evil doctor tries to make everyone on Sesame Street become grouchy & it's up to Oscar to cure them so he travels across New York city finding the cure featuring celebrity cameos like, Robin Williams, Willem Dafoe & Charlize Theron.
Aw, kids are a lot tougher than we give them credit for.
Over the weekend I thought of actors to star in this Sesame Street movie so I want Robin Williams, Willem Dafoe & Charlize Theron but I also thought of, Matthew Lillard, Seth Green & Dax Shepard (All from the movie, Without a Paddle) making cameos as the villains of the movie.
I wonder if it would be a good idea to have some child actors in the movie too but it's hard to know who to pick.
Wait! That's a good idea. We'll have kid actors that are seen on Sesame Street but maybe we could have a cameo by Matthew Underwood (Logan from Zoey 101) I know he's old but maybe he could be someone who helps Oscar stop the bad guys. Maybe Dakota & Elle Fanning could play 2 sisters as a cameo.
Okay. I have an idea. In this thread people can post a possible script for this movie & I'll pick who's idea is the best to make into a movie & send it to the Sesame Workshop. Here's the rules, it has to be centered around Oscar & it must have cameos by Robin Williams maybe as a comedic character & also, Matthew Lillard, Seth Green & Dax Shepard as the villains. Also it must have the key characters needed in a Sesame Street movie.
And one last thing... don't make it too much like Follow that Bird or Elmo in Grouchland.
Happy writing!!!
Yes I like Grover too, and while we are at it, we need to put in the Cookie Monster. BTW, I was told that they don't call him Cookie Monster any more and don't have him scoffing down cookies as it "could promote obesity in children". How far as we going to let political correctness go before somebody stops all the foolishness?
Do the cookie thing anyway and have him refer to them as "yummy tummy seaweed" or "wish cookies" something...
You can write a script with that in it & maybe bring back some other stuff from old school Sesame Street & I was also thinking someone could include Bert's "National Association of W Lovers" from like 18 years ago. It was my favourite E & B sketch.
We should certainly have Animal and Dr Teeth and Rosencrantz & Guildenstern in the movie too. I guess it could end up with a cast of thousands. lol.
Oh, and Miss Piggy and Kermit and most definitely Fozzie Bear. I wouldn't mind it if Elmo weren't in the movie though.
No not Miss Piggy, Kermit or Fozzie they're mupets owned by Disney & Sesame Street is owned by Sesame Workshop so we can't have any muppets due to copyright laws.
It's been a few months since anyone has posted but I'm just reminding everyone that they can write up the script but one more rule is:
No muppets, please. I know that the Sesame Street gang are muppets but no Kermit or guys from The Muppet Show. Happy writing!!!
