blankey, and asks the audience if they've seen it anywhere. With no
HOME luck, she goes to look for it, but little does she know, that the dog took
it. Then we cut to Baby Bop playing in the attic with BJ, and then BJ
tries to help her find her blankey. While going to ask Abby and Cody's
GAMES grandparents about the egg, Barney heard Baby Fig and went up to
check on him. Barney changes the baby's diaper, then washes his
hands, and then cheers the baby up by singing to him, which then cuts
ANIME to a music video of Barney and some random kids singing If You're
Happy and You Know It. Cody finds Barney in the baby's room and they
take the egg to Mrs. Goldfinch, the local bird lady. They learn it's a
MOVIES space egg, and that a mysterious space creature is suppose to hatch
out of it, and they have to return the egg before all five of its colored
rings light up. Cody loses the egg by accidentally knocking it out a

passage way and it lands on a bird seed truck. The chase is on! From a
parade with a marching band and a visit to Chez Snobbe, a fancy
restaurant, to a circus, the kids and Barney are on a persuit for the egg.

WIKI the group imagines (with the help of the audience) flying on an
airplane, which they made out of cardboard boxes. Barney's friend, the
Collector, has the egg as a ballast (to keep the balloon steady), but
after some convincing, he drops it and Abby catches it just in time.
Back on the farm, the kids finally introduce the grandparents to
Barney, and are shocked to see a dinosaur right infront of them. Then
BJ drops by, just in time to see the very last ring light up on the egg.
Then they all rush back to the barn, but Cody accidently slips, and
loses grip of the egg. But before the egg falls, Baby Bop catches the
egg, just in the knick of time, as she finally found her blankey. Then the
egg finally hatches in the barn, revealing an adorable baby bird,
emerging from the egg, and delighting everyone. But after it inspects
the group, the little bird seems anxious. Barney realizes the problem
and escorts the little bird (and everyone else) out of the barn and into a
starry evening. The little bird sings and another comet appears from
the sky. It radiates color and soars straight towards the group on the
ground. Just before it hits, we realize that this is the Mother Bird - a
majestic 6-foot eagle (more or less) which radiates light. The mother
and baby are reunited touchingly, and familial bonds are reinforced for
the rest of the cast. Stella the Storyteller, Mr. Boyd, Scooter McNutty,
and Miss Etta Kette also make a surprise visit. Stella then tells a story
about following your dreams, and the kids realize that Barney has
made their dreams come true, by subtly steering events that have
helped these desired outcomes. That, and the fact that he helped
reunite the baby bird with its mother. After they leave, Cody apologizes
to Barney for being mean to him and admits he thinks he's cool. Barney
accepts his apology and tells Cody he thinks he's cool too and the two
share a hug. Then, the baby bird and his mother leave. After that, the
gang reflect on the wonderful adventure they all had, which leads
Barney and the rest of the cast to sing I Love You. Baby Bop gets
sleepy, which prompts BJ to decide that they're ready to go home.
After that, Barney hugs everyone, and the kids thank him for helping
FANDOM
them achieve their dreams, helping the baby bird reunite with his
mother, and for their overall great adventure. Then, Barney says
goodbye to everyone (including the audience), and then the film ends
when Barney turns back into a doll, sitting on the bench, and then
winks.

Stories: The Importance Of Following Your Dreams
ANIME
Production
Word of a Barney film first arose in November 1992 when Debbie Ries,
MOVIES
sales director for the Lyons Group said plans for a movie was in the
works.[1] In 1993, it was later announced by creator Sheryl Leach at the
The National Press Club in Washington, D.C. that a movie was coming.
TV
Later in 1994, a Barney Magazine states that Barney would star in his
first ever film entitled Barney: The Movie . It would originally be
distributed worldwide by Geffen Pictures through Warner Bros and
VIDEO
produced by Sheryl Leach, Kathy Parker, and Dennis DeShazer.
According to Sheryl Leach, it had a release date for the summer of
1995. Warner Bros. and The Lyons Group had disagreements over
WIKIS
marketing, leading the latter to bring the film (with help from now
former producer Geffen) to Polygram.[1]
START A
WIKI On June 20, 1997, Barney himself announced his film at a news
conference at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Later in 1997, teaser trailers for
the film Barney's Great Adventure: The Movie arose on VHS cassettes
with some Barney Home Videos. To Sheryl Leach, it was a joy of filming
as she stated "It was a joy to do the film because it took me back to the
early days in Barney's development. Just like the beginning days of
Barney, this movie takes him to places children have never
experienced with him before. The film was a great opportunity to open
new story lines and environments so that children can travel to new
places with their friend, Barney," Leach says. "The film goes to some
incredible places that we hope will appeal not only to children but to
adults as well." Leach adds that the film allowed them to "take the
familiar Barney and put him outdoors and in other very different
settings from his traditional environments." The film was shot on
locations outside Montreal, Canada, including the renowned Ste.
AnnedeBellevue's Morgan Arboretum, a popular wildlife sanctuary. The
veteran film crew was initially a bit skeptical of the large purple star.[2]

purple.
Some more well-known Barney songs from the series would've
FANDOM
been featured in the movie, to make it feel a lot more like a
Barney movie.
The rest of the staff production team behind the series would've
also been involved with the movie.
Stephen White's original script would've came to place, as
HOME opposed to that of Steve Gomer's terrible ideas. Therefore, Steve
Gomer would not be the director of this movie. But Jim Rowley
would be the director of this movie.
GAMES During The Barney Theme Song, an animated intro would've been
used, with the Barney & Friends Season 3 logo and walking
animation starting it off. The song itself would've also been heard
ANIME as an underscore when Barney comes to life, and whenever he
makes his entrances.
The film's premiere was held at Radio City Music Hall , the same
MOVIES stage where Barney preformed 12 sold-out concerts four years
before.
This is the second time that I Love You was sung for three verses.
TV
The first would've been in the Season 1 episode Hola, Mexico!.
However, in Hola, Mexico!, Luci sings the first verse in Spanish,
then Barney sings it again in English, and then everyone sings
VIDEO
the second verse together. But in this movie, the first and last
verses are exactly the same. The song itself would've also played
as an underscore when Barney turns back into a doll.
WIKIS
If You're Happy and You Know It would've been exactly the way it
is on the soundtrack, and it would've had a music video for it,
within the movie, featuring Barney and some random kids. Same
START A
WIKI goes for the song When I Walk Across The Street.
Barney would've been briefly seen coming to life in the shower,
but not quite revealing him until he pops out of the shower
curtain.
Baby Bop and BJ would've had more screen time, and there
would've been scenes of them playing in the attic (which
would've had fun props).
Mr. Boyd, Stella the Storyteller, Scooter McNutty, and Miss Etta
Kette would've also made cameo appearances as well.
BJ whistles twice in this film. The first time, when Baby Bop
brings him onscreen, and again after Barney gets acquainted
with the grandparents.
The fourth wall is broken 8 times in this film.
Before The Having Fun Song, Barney greets the viewers.

In the middle of the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, to get
the viewers to sing along with him, and the girls.
Before the song Old MacDonald Had a Farm, he greets the
viewers again.
When Baby Bop asks the viewers to help her find her
blankey.
When Baby Bop brings BJ onscreen (after he does his
trademark whistle), and he greets the viewers.
Before The Airplane Song, Barney asks the viewers to help
him and the kids imagine that their airplane made out of
logs can really fly.
After BJ's Song, BJ greets the viewers.
Before Barney turns back into a doll and while he says
goodbye to everyone, he also says goodbye to the viewers
and thanks them for joining him on the wonderful
adventure. He also says "And remember, I love you". Then he
blows a kiss to the viewers, and then chuckles away.
FANDOM
The original widescreen/theatrical print would also be available in
stores separately.
This movie has also aired on WETA Kids, PBS Kids, and even PBS
Kids Sprout.
This movie would've also had the 1995-present Barney Home
HOME Video Classic Collection logo.
This movie would've had great reviews, and it would've also
followed Stephen White's original script.
GAMES Barney would've also used his other catchphrase, "Stu-u-
upendous!" at least twice in this film.
Although the Caption Center WGBH Educational Foundation
ANIME mostly captioned all Barney installments since 1993, this film is
one exception, as it is closed-captioned by the National
Captioning Institute.
MOVIES Three of the movie's TV spots sample the song, Born To Be Wild
by Steppenwolf. However, the song never appeared in the movie
itself.
TV
The soundtrack would've featured all 76 songs from this movie.
The VHS releases of Barney's Adventure Bus; Barney's Good Day,
Good Night; It's Time for Counting; Barney in Outer Space;
VIDEO
Barney's First Adventures (which also featured clips from the
movie); Barney's Halloween Party, and What a World We Share all
have trailers for the film.
WIKIS
This movie would've been directed by Jim Rowley.
This marks the only appearances of Abby, Marcella, Cody, Baby
Fig, the parents, the grandparents, Mrs. Goldfinch, and Mr. Millet.
START A
WIKI Cody is the only kid who has ever been mean to Barney, until he
apologizes to him towards the near end, admitting that he's cool.
The Barney Bag, and The Adventure Screen would've been
featured.
This also would've been the second time The Barney Bag is sung
for four verses. The first was Barney Live! In New York City.
The Barney Mobile, and The Treehouse would've been mentioned.
This would've been the ninth time Barney is actually seen
transforming back into a doll, after saying goodbye to everyone,
at the end.
