On April 27th, 2014 the WORLD PREMIERE of "I Am Big Bird: The Carroll Spinney Story" took place during the Hot Docs Film Festival at the Bloor Cinema in Toronto, Ontario Canada.

Carroll Spinney, his wife Debra and the filmmakers from Copper Pot Pictures, Dave LaMattina, Chad Walker and Clay Frost were all in attendance. A Q&A was held after the screening. We were all surprised when Carroll's special guest, Oscar the Grouch made an appearance and took part.  

The film itself was excellent  that the whole audience in attendance loved. Many cheers throughout and a standing ovation when Carroll took the stage.
