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.

The song and video featured the Muppets, Sesame Street, and Bear in the Big Blue House characters together with stars from other children's shows.

The project was co-ordinated by Muppet songwriter and performer Christopher Cerf and Bear in the Big Blue House creator Mitchell Kriegman.
