Warner decides to Follow that Bird

Never receiving quite the same fame as its “Muppet” counterparts, the first “Sesame Street” feature Follow that Bird was a delight for children back in 1985. Now the all but forgotten film gets new life from Warner Brothers Home Video with a new DVD release.

After being evicted from Sesame Street, and placed in a foster home, Big Bird begins a long adventure wandering the country. Unfortunately for the big yellow bird, life outside of Sesame Street is quite a bit different. Con men, schuksters, and criminals take advantage of Big Bird until our hero ends up in a circus cage painted blue. In the mean time, Maria, Luis, and all the Sesame Street gang take off to find Big Bird and bring him back to his nest in one piece.

Currently, no information is available surrounding this title. No word on technical features or extras is available. The disc will be available on February 5th for $19.98. But it’s coming, and for now, that is enough for me!

In January, Dreamworks casts The Curse of the Jade Scorpion

Dreamworks Home Video took a break from publicizing their recently released “Shrek” to announce the upcoming release of Woody Allen’s most recent – and heavily overlooked – fall project. The neurotic comedy Curse of the Jade Scorpion is coming to DVD in January.

CW Briggs is the top insurance investigator in 1940s New York. Well, that’s what he keeps telling the top efficiency expert, Betty Ann “Fitz” Fitzgerald. Briggs prides himself on being able to crack any insurance caper by getting into the mind of the thief, but the hypnotic powers of the Jade Scorpion gets the mind of the thief into Briggs. Now his work is on the brink of disaster as he copes with his new love-hate, hate-love relationship with Fitz.

Presented in anamorphic widescreen , “Curse of the Jade Scorpion” contains its original 2.0 mono audio mix and will contain a theatrical trailer and production notes. “Curse of the Jade Scorpion” will be priced at $32.99. On January 29th, you can fall under its spell.

Even though it was little more than an informercial with hot models, very, very hot models, theVictoria’s Secret TV special is causing sales to boost.

And not just sales…

“Survivor” is still kicking, but it continues to fade.

And let’s not blame September 11th. Blame the current cast. They suck!

Look out Star Wars, E.T., and Titanic! Harry Potter is coming!
