NotesEdit

The televised version that aired in November 2008 featured a What's the Word on the Street? segment for "rhyme" (from Episode 4153) and the street scene for Episode 4161 to round out the hour (complete with "Octagon" opening and title card).

The production received a limited theatrical release during September 2008 through Kidtoon Films.

The Red Rabbit does not speak in third-person like his real-world counterpart Elmo does. The rabbit is one of the few incarnations of Elmo that does not speak in third-person.
