Just an ode to the early 2000s and 90s comedies na talagang na-miss ko,&quot; said actor Enrique Gil, who leads the comedy, during the launch of the official trailer of &quot;I Am Not Big Bird&quot; on Friday. </p><p>&quot;The cast, I wouldn&#x27;t have it any other way. I&#x27;m super thankful and I&#x27;m super happy,&quot; he added. </p><p>“&#x27;Yan ang nakaka-miss sa 90s comedies. We wanted to bring it back. We wanted to deliver it.&quot;</p><p>&quot;I Am Not Big Bird&quot; marks Gil&#x27;s return to the spotlight after a three-year hiatus. According to the actor, there couldn&#x27;t have been a more fitting film to again jumpstart his career in entertainment. </p><p>&quot;Medyo nanibago ako. I don&#x27;t know, it was weird. Parang you still remember it, how to do it. Yung timing,&quot; he recalled. </p><p>&quot;Okay naman, very supportive [sila]. It felt good, the environment, the setting,” he added. </p><div><script src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;version=v2.5" async="" type="text/javascript"></script></div><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/starcinemaofficial/videos/7380320138686346" data-width="auto"> </div><p>The people behind &quot;I Am Not Big Bird&quot; went on to share that the film&#x27;s story is more than just raunchy jokes and punchlines. </p><p>&quot;It is really hard to do comedy these days,&quot; said director Victor Villanueva. &quot;Hindi siya bastos, may pagka-empowering siya. It is more of the story, the characters who go on an adventure.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Laging napag-uusapan ang paggawa ng comedy so we took on the challenge. Excited ako,&quot; actor Pepe Herrera added.</p>
