Talk with Zoey and Big Bird



Christopher Reeve guest stars on Sesame Street. It is an interesting clip because he is not presenting himself as Superman but as a paraplegic. It is definitely an emotional scene during the episode when Zoey and Big Bird ask about his wheelchair and breathing tube. It provides an emotional connection to the audience, but it also exhibits hope that Christopher Reeve will still be strong. We see a touch of Superman at the end as he carries Zoey on his wheelchair to the library. This is similar in the way Superman always safely carried those he saved. Even though Superman is in a wheelchair, he can still help those in need!
