Muppet Reviews: The Cookie Thief

 On Monday, we were actually very surprised at how good The Cookie Thief is. It's very good. Very good. Extremely good. Fantastically, fantastic good. We expected it to be not so good, except believe me, it was. There's only a couple of main stars ( 2 of them were humans), except me ( Andrew) and David will be reviewing the special today. Now, to be honest, David, I thought this was very good.
 David: I thought the Cookie Thief was awesome, because I'm surprised that Prairie Dawn was in it because her puppeteer retired last year.
 Well, surprisingly, I thought it was somebody else performing Prairie Dawn, except it wasn't. They chose a recast for Prairie Dawn, though.
 David: So, the beginning where they were going into the museum was cool, and I thought it was funny where Cookie Monster tried to eat the cookie statue, and it was hilarious when Chris told Cookie Monster that he couldn't eat any of the cookie art, and Cookie said, " Okay!" then he walked over to a lady and said, " Okay! Me settle for cookie map!" then eats her map.
 Let's talk about the cast. I think they chose a pretty good cast.
 David: Me, too. I actually think there was a really good cast, and they made good jokes out of it, such as the Munch-a-Lisa and Leonardo da Crunchy.
 Yes, that was very funny. And, I thought it was cool that they took the 2 main Sesame Street Muppets ( Elmo and Cookie Monster) and teamed them with Prairie Dawn and Abby Cadabby, and chose Chris for the main human. I have no idea who that patrol officer was, either.
 David: Me, either.
 Want me to look it up on Google?
 David: Uh.. I would rather not have that because it would just be plain weird.
 Okay. I wish that Kermit was one of the people..
 David: Why would Kermit be in The Cookie Thief?
 He would be in it, because what if a news station came to the museum to talk about what's going on there? Kermit would be the news reporter.
 David: Why would Kermit be the news reporter?
 'CAUSE THATS WHAT HE DID IN SESAME STREET!!!
 David: But, then it would just seem like The Newsman from TMS.
 Um.. have you noticed that orange and green aren't the same color?
 David: Yeah, I realized that.
 Well, clearly, ya didn't! Let's talk more about the Cookie Thief. I liked the penguins, that randomly just started singing.
 David: We gotta catch that Cookie Monster, he's furry and blue. We gotta catch Cookie Monster if it's the last thing that we do!!!
 And, for some reason, I don't know why, except I really liked Abby Cadabby in there. She's not in too much of this season.
 David: Yes, unless on Sesame Street they show is Abby Cadabby's Flying Fairy School... Sesame Street is becoming too babyish..
 Sesame Street is becoming too babyish.
 David: Once they started showing it on Sprout, it started becoming babyish?
 No, it actually didn't.. For some reason, ever since Elmo came on, it started becoming educational.
 David: Elmo doesn't' know how to use grammar.
 Back to our topic. Did you know that this special was actually a remake of another Sesame Street special?
 David: What was it a remake of?
 It was a remake of this special in the 80's called Don't Eat the Pictures! I think it was filmed in a museum at New York City. Now, I liked all the little paintings and the stories behind them.
 David: Me, too.
 They were actually spoofing the real stories.
 David: Yeah. I have one question: Why does Grover call everyone babee?
 Uh.. I don't know, except I think it originated.. Frank Oz and Jim Henson were best friends, and I think it was one of their inside jokes. In most of the early things with Grover, he was teamed up with Kermit.
 David: So, that's how it started?
 Yeah, pretty much. What was your favorite part of it?
 David: My favorite part was when Cookie Monster was imagining the Cookie Eaters, and the Grover comes back with a bunch of waffles and the artist is like, " Assistant, those are not cookies! Those are waffles!" and then Grover goes, " What do you expect? This is Belgium! Waffles are everywhere!"
 This special had a very good storyline.
 David: HES FURRY AND BLUE!!!!!
 What was a bit frustrating about this special was that they kept accusing Cookie Monster for the crime.
 David: I don't understand how the guard didn't apologize to Cookie Monster, and only apologized to a penguin named Ethan!!!! ( burp)
 I'm going to say I liked how they used 3 Primary Colors.
 David: But, they used that after The Cookie Thief!!
 But, it's from like 3 years ago!!!!
 David: It was from 2011!!!! YOU WERE 11!!!
 Wait, wait, how did you get orange and green mixed up?
 David: I'M NOT AN IDIOT! THIS FRIENDSHIP IS THROUGH!

 8 seconds after.... David and Andrew are now friendssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
