We Are Family



The We Are Family foundation produced a cover version of the Sister Sledge song "We Are Family", featuring more than 100 well-known children's characters, to promote diversity and tolerance. The video debuted on PBS on March 11, 2005, and was issued free on DVD to US elementary schools.

Muppets who appeared in the video included Big Bird, Bear and Ojo. Muppet co-stars Bill Cosby, Whoopi Goldberg and Diana Ross also made cameo appearances. The project was co-ordinated by Muppet songwriter and performer Christopher Cerf and Bear in the Big Blue House creator Mitchell Kriegman.
