VHS/DVDSesame Street in CommunitiesSesame Street for Military Families

In the 1990s, Sesame Workshop began producing Sesame Street videos for internal use, exploring specific topics like lead poisoning and asthma that would otherwise not be featured on the main series. These projects were originally produced and released non-commercially on VHS tapes, and later, DVDs. With the advances of digital distribution, many videos would later see wider release online, even on e-commerce platforms like the iTunes Store and Amazon.com.

Sesame Street’s outreach projects have since transitioned to primarily online resources and videos. Launched in 2013, Sesame Street in Communities toolkits, and their corresponding YouTube channel, include clips from existing videos and specials as well as newly produced short-form segments featuring Muppet characters and cast members. Topics covered range from building vocabulary and literacy to foster care and parental addiction.

Many of these projects are produced in English and Spanish. Though most Spanish language translations have redubbed dialogue, several have reshot scenes where the bilingual actors (Carmen Osbahr as Rosita, for example) speak their lines live in Spanish. In these cases, other Muppet performers operate their characters lip-syncing to the voices of Spanish actors.
