On a sunny day in Melbourne, where the clouds had clearly been swept away, Kim Wright, Film Producer with the Sesame Workshop, talked about the things that make Sesame Street a success. ScreenHub’s Andrew Einspruch reports from Screen Forever, the Screen Producers Australia conference.
Sesame Street is an amazing success story. Now in its 44th season of 26 episodes each (that’s over 1,100 episodes all up), the perennial favourite of the two-to-five set has kept a loyal fan base of children and former children. It has now been around long enough that some of its original viewers are now grandparents, sharing the show with a third generation.
