BERT SESAME STREET MOVIE
Some of Bert's memorable moments include riding with Ernie in a plane in Follow That Bird, and interrupting The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland whenever it looked like the movie was becoming unsettling.īert's extended family includes his identical twin brother salesman Bart, infant nephew Brad, and several unseen relatives, including his Aunt Matilda, Uncle Bart (who gave Bert his first paper clip), and great-great-grandfather Mountain Mike. Notable exceptions include the songs "Doin' the Pigeon," "The Subway," "Bert's Blanket," and "Stick Out Your Hand and Say Hello" with Rick Moranis, as well as occasional Muppet/Kid scenes, such as discussing emotions with John John. While Ernie has appeared in many of scenes without Bert, Bert has not been seen without Ernie quite so often. Unfortunately for Bert, his nose has come off of his face on a number of occasions. True to his detail-oriented, organized mind, Bert is president of the National Association of W Lovers.

While Ernie's best companion outside of Bert is Rubber Duckie, Bert has his pet pigeon, Bernice. His own passions include reading Boring Stories, collecting paper clips and bottle caps (especially the rare Figgy Fizz), consuming oatmeal, and studying pigeons.

In contrast to the practical-joking, extroverted Ernie, Bert is serious, studious, and tries to make sense of his friend's actions. The pair share the basement apartment at 123 Sesame Street. Bert is Ernie's best friend and roommate on Sesame Street.
