The Sesame Strike

The Sesame Strike is a TBA American live-action/animated musical-comedy adventure film directed by Noah Byrd, and produced by Color-World Pictures. It is the third theatrical feature-length film based on the popular U.S. children's series Sesame Street, following The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland and Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird.

Plot
In a world where Cartoon Characters coexist on Sesame Street with both puppets and humans, but are reviled by society and considered inferior, the most popular Cartoon residents decide to have all the Cartoon Characters join in with them, and go on strike in retaliation for the Puppet residents' treatment against them. A year passes with very little changes, and many of the Puppet residents (except for Bert, Ernie, Grover, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Telly Monster, Baby Bear, Snuffy, and Elmo) refuse to change their ways, leading the Cartoon Characters to leave Sesame Street forever.

Knowing that they never have and never will fit on Sesame Street, They go in search of a place where they can be better appreciated, and find their purpose for destiny. The Cartoon Characters travel several miles away from Sesame Street, stop a few times, and camp-out. They continue on their way every following day, sing a few songs, and bump into different characters along the way.

Trivia
This may be the first Sesame Street-themed Feature film to be mixed with not just puppets and live actors, but with actual animation (not counting the brief animation sequences in Follow that Bird).

This is also the first Sesame Street-themed Feature film to feature characters from another similar children's TV show from Disney entitled, Bear in the Big Blue House.

Characters from other popular children's television shows, including Blue's Clues, Barney & Friends, Teletubbies, and VeggieTales appear in the film as well.

Fred Rogers also appears in the film though Archival recordings and stock footage. At one point, Noah also sings the theme song of his show, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.

Noah's fake tall-tale story about how he fell asleep, and missed the catch, losing the baseball championship is similar to Goob/Bowler hat guy's backstory from the 2007 animated film, Meet the Robinsons.

Additionally, the first part of Noah's fake story is also a recreation of the short, "Casey at the Bat" from the 1946 Walt Disney film, Make Mine Music.

Songs from the 1948 Disney cartoon, "Johnny Appleseed", are featured in the film.

Judy Hopps, the main character from the 2016 animated Disney film Zootopia, also makes an appearance in the film with main role as she had Zootopia and her screen time being almost as long the film. Unsurprisingly, her own voice actress Ginnifer Goodwin, even reprises her role.

Clarice, Rudolph's girlfriend from the 1964 Rankin/Bass Christmas special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, also appears as a major character in the film, and much like in the sequel Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys, she also takes a significantly more prominent role than she did in the original special.

Rocket Raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy, and Ralph Raccoon and Melissa Raccoon from The Raccoons make appearances as well in the film as minor characters. They are mostly both seen alongside each other and princess Raccoon-zel.
