The story is very simple with Big Bird and Barkley visiting Japan for a few days before going back home to Sesame Street. After Big Bird and Barkley wander off, they miss their tour bus and tour group as the 2 find help with a mysterious lady and try to make it back on time. I love that the story is so simple yet finds many ways to incorporate a bigger narrative and also teaches kids and even adults about Japanese language and culture. It has a very bittersweet ending which is handled very well by Big Bird to not make it seem all that bad. All in all its a very good film for the kids or the whole family. I admit that I find myself watching it on my own from time to time as its just that good! Video quality is pretty good and is leaps better that how its presented on YouTube. Being only in 480p, the picture does have noise and perhaps some artifacts every now and then but remains sharp enough to notice many details on Big Bird, Barkley, and the woman. Colors and the picture are nice and bright although black levels aren't entirely good but good enough for the film. Audio on the other hand is just as good despite it being in 2.0 stereo. I have surround speakers but I noticed that some scenes (such as when music plays) output the sound to other channels. Review: Classic - I remember this special from when I was a kid in the late 80s and bought it to show my boyfriend last year before he went to Japan on business. Even as adults, it was every bit as enjoyable as I remembered. It's a cute one that serves as a nice, entertaining cultural introduction to Japan for children, something you didn't see a lot of then. I plan to pass this to my nephews. Good quality for VHS. Just wish that PBS would put more vintage Sesame Street specials like this one on DVD for future generations to enjoy. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00016XO7Y | | Actors | Sesame Street | | Best Sellers Rank | #64,520 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #4,982 in Kids & Family DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (81) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 5.36 x 7.54 x 0.6 inches; 0.01 ounces | | Release date | February 10, 2004 | | Run time | 1 hour | | Studio | Sony Wonder | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Sesame Street - **Format:** Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC - **Genre:** Children's Music, Sesame Street Big Bird In Japan - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour ## Images ![Sesame Street - Big Bird In Japan - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ShmvneD7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun for all ages and the whole family! *by B***N on January 21, 2021* I first saw this on YouTube with my little sister who absolutely loved it so I decided to buy her the disc.

I've seen it subsequently on PBS/Disney Channel several times since over the years and still enjoy it. Big Bird and his canine pal Barkley travel to Japan and within less than one day of arriving in the country are lost with very little money, no plane tickets home and unable to communicate in the native language. Fortunately, a lovely but mysterious young Japanese woman befriends them and takes them acorss Japan learning the language, meeting interesting new people and seeing the amazing sights. The scene with the children's play of THE SHINING PRINCESS OF THE BAMBOO alone is worth seeing simply for the incredible costume design.
