Synopsis

Eddie's ecstatic when he hears that Birdman, his comic book hero, is actually fighting crime in the streets of Birdland! Eddie follows Officer Pigeon around to catch Birdman on film, but, in the process, he gets in Officer Pigeon's way so that he can't do his job and ends up being fired.

Production notes

Ever wondered about what really goes on in the mind of a feathery pre-teen on the fly? Welcome to the wacky world of 12-year-old bird Eddie Storkowitz. Like most of us, Eddie has dreams and ambitions, a crazy family to cope with, pre-teen anxieties and challenges, not to mention a crush on his teacher Ms. Downey. Eddie's life is a big rat's nest -- uh, that's bird's nest -- of typical teenager problems, with a fine-feathered twist. Is that a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Eddie Storkowitz!
