20th Century Fox To Bring ‘Sesame Street’ To The Big Screen!

The Hollywood Reporter broke the exclusive news that 20th Century Fox has picked up the movie rights and are planning to make a Sesame Street movie!  You read that right! Big Bird, Mr. Snuffleupagus (my favorite), Groover, Bert & Ernie, and the rest of the gang are coming to a theater near you. You had better get ready to find your way back to Sesame Street because sunny days are here again.

Joey Mazzarino, who is a long-time writer for the show, has been chosen to write the script. It will be produced by 21 Laps Entertainment, Michael Aguilar, Mark Gordon and Guymon Casady. Sesame Workshop, the makers of the show, will also be involved in the movie as well as getting a producer credit.

With The Muppets sequel in the works, as well as a Fraggle Rock movie also in development, it’s a good time to be a Jim Henson fan. Now if only someone could tell me how to get to Sesame Street…
