Welcome to Muppet Wiki!
A publicity still from the "We Are Family" video.
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 as a public service announcement on Disney Channel, Nickelodeon and PBS on March 11, 2002, and was issued as an educational DVD free to US public and private elementary schools in March 2005.
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, legendary songwriter/producer and co-writer of the song "We Are Faily" and founder of the We Are Family Foundation, Nile Rodgers and Bear in the Big Blue House creator Mitchell Kriegman.
