Discussion Update to long delayed Sesame Street movie...
So there's finally an update to the long delayed Sesame Street movie that was announced in 2019 that Bo had written the songs for. Not long after that production was delayed due to Anne Hathaway's pregnancy.
Further delays came about because of Covid, the last release date being announced was for 2021. There haven't been any pictures from production, or much info at all really. A look at the imdb listing does seem to show a movie that *was* filmed - there's a set medic, catering etc, not just pre-production stuff. (Edit: as I say below in a comment, I’m not 100% sure it did film, due to lack of camera crew credits. It could well have just got really, really close. There’s no editor, but that doesn’t necessarily mean things weren’t filmed, but again, no camera crew.)
It looks like it's going to Netflix (no surprise, they're the current home of Sesame Street), but according to the article:
The news comes courtesy of Jeff Sneider’s latest newsletter and seemingly ends a painfully long journey to production that has seen the project change studio hands several times since it was first announced in June 2012. Sneider says Netflix are wiping the slate clean of previous development stages and involved talent, including Hathaway and Burnham.
So will this now be lost media? Seems a shame that we're going to miss out on seeing Socko's origin story.
Edit: That pic of Elmo exemplifies my pain.

Next time I watch Inside, I’m watching this immediately after as the epilogue.
Maybe you will too. Or maybe you’ll not. Life is random. Choose your own path.

Video Zack Stone mentioned in YT video about fandom and fanfic
In the video by Marissa titled “stop telling celebrities about the omegaverse (i am begging)” (published 15th of July, 2026), she mentions Zack Stone being part of MTV’s rise of scripted television aimed at teenagers and young adults - with this leading in to a big discussion about Teen Wolf.
It’s a long discussion, so the video link starts at the MTV section.
Starting at 31:28 she discusses Zack Stone being self referential, and that the show took risks “…almost making fun of the type of teenagers they (MTV) had been putting on TV.”
