Production Notes
With the exception of Baby Bear, no other Sesame Street character stayed in full costume throughout the whole show. Each of the muppets' performer played at least one minor character in the show. For example, Big Bird's performer played a dancing octupus in Bert's underwater scene, while Elmo and Zoe's perfomers also played the extra fish. Another example would be Barkley's performer playing Uncle Grizzly during the camping scene.
Unlike the original, the character of Sam the mailcarrier is changed from male to female. Also, the stage design is redone, using the same set from Big Bird's Sunny Day Camp Out. A tv screen is also used in place for most of the scenes.
