"Sesame Street": characters by name. What are the names of the heroes of "Sesame Street"?

Longevity among children's educational and entertainment programs is "Sesame Street". The characters of this program appeared in the late sixties of the last century. During this time, not one generation of children, who grew up together with the funny characters of the show, managed to change.

International Street

It was thanks to the famous puppeteer Jim Henson in 1969, a show for children from five to twelve years was launched. It was Henson who developed the characters' images, he was engaged in some of the voice acting of some of them. For example, Jim gave his voice to Ernie (he is known in Russia under a different name - Yenik).

For its long life the show boasts a record number of awards. Only the Emmy TV awards from Sesame Street 138! World stars of cinema, music, politics consider it an honor to appear on screen together with the characters of the program.

The main goal of the program is to train and develop, entertaining. The show has long since stepped outside the US. Now this transmission is released around the world. And not just translate in translation, under the brand "Sesame Street" characters with local color lead national projects. This format allows to take into account the local way of life and cultural features. Each country chooses an educational "stuffing".

In Russia, the show has been known since 1996. Then the Russian version of the program was released on ORT. Then the show went to the NTV and STS broadcast network.

And the very first program and all subsequent programs were developed taking into account the curricula accepted in the Russian Federation. Russian teachers, writers and psychologists took part in the creation of the national version. Along with exclusively authorial episodes, the "Street" included organic fragments provided by the International Library of the original project.

Frog and Oscar

The name of the frog from "Sesame Street" is no less well known than the name of Brad Pitt. Kermit is a leading, central character, not only on the show "Sesame", but also on another project by Henson - "Muppet Show." Jim, until his death, voiced this character. Perhaps the green frog was one of his favorite creatures. Even he was sewn out of Henson's mother's coat.

On the degree of popularity of Kermit can be judged by the presence of his personal star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood. And another song in his performance was nominated for an Oscar.

Biscuit Monster

Another character of the show is named Cookie Monster (Biscuit Monster) or in the Russian version - Korzhik. "Sesame Street" simply can not go out without this creation, covered with thick blue fur. The main difference of this hero in his irrepressible appetite.

Korzhik loves to eat while talking. The most favorite treat Biscuit monster - cookies. But in the absence of such he eats everything that will turn out under his paw.

A little like the appearance on Korzhik another hero of "The Street". Elmo also has a thick fur, only red. And he has an orange nose. According to the idea of the creators of Elmo only three years, so he speaks of himself in the third person.

And although the red fluffy monster appeared in the show a little later than the main characters, but he is no less popular. With him came two full-length films. And he loves children.

Bert and Ernie

In our version, these heroes of "Sesame Street" bear the names of Vlas and Yenik.

Bert and Ernie created Don Salin. She decided that one would be a plump "orange," and the second a lean "banana." It is interesting that in the beginning, in the very first launch, Bertha undertook to sound Henson, and Ernie - Frank Oz. But then they changed.

All the jokes of this couple are built on the difference of their characters. Bert is calm and slightly boring. And Ernie is boiling with insane ideas. But these two are inseparable friends.

Such a different "Sesame Street"

The characters of the program have a vivid personality. Count A sign that adores counting and numbers is a bit like a classic vampire. His girlfriend's name is Countess Conversely. A favorite cat is named Fatalit.

The green monster that lives in the garbage can, responds to the name Oscar Grumbo. He is anthiathropic, and his only affection is the Slimi worm.

But the biggest "star" of the show is the Yellow Bird. Its height is 249 centimeters. A big bird exists from the very beginning of the transfer. And she is the second character "Sesame", who was immortalized on the Walk of Fame as a star.

The Big Yellow Bird has a wide variety of talents. She is an artist, a poet, a writer, and a dancer. And she often skates on roller skates and likes to drive a monocycle.

Russian characters

Now let's find out the names of the characters "Sesame Street" in the Russian version of the show. The main dolls in the Russian transfer are three.

Zeliboba is the biggest doll. It's a spirit, a yard. He lives in a giant oak tree growing near the playground. Outwardly this character resembles a shaggy blue dog that walks on its hind legs. Zeliboby has a blue mantle, white huge sneakers and a tie. He loves neckties and collects them.

Thanks to the ideal scent that Zelibob is famous for, "Sesame Street" is like an open book for him. He senses the music, the weather and the mood of those around him on the scent. He is very kind and inquisitive spirit.

Another character is Businka. This is an unusual girl. The doll is made of bright crimson material. The creators supplemented her image with a lot of plaits, in which the bows are braided. Bead loves to dance and eat carrots.

Another humanoid monster from "Sesame Street" is the Cube. He has bright orange skin and dark red hair. He's an inventor. In this case, Kubik comes up with very unusual items, and the most common (for example, a bicycle).

In addition to puppet characters, there are also quite alive people involved in creating the show "Sesame Street". Characters aunt Dasha, Mom, Dad, Dinara, uncle Yura, Kolya, Timothy are actors. In addition to them, the transfer is often invited to children of different nationalities, children with disabilities, famous people.

During the existence of the show, new creatures periodically appear in it. But the concept of the program remains unchanged. All the characters in the project have to teach the children something. And it's not just about literacy, the ability to read or write. On the example of heroes, children are taught the skills of communication, a healthy lifestyle, creative thinking. Young spectators learn to make friends, listen and hear others, love their culture and respect other people's traditions.
