Production notes
- Is there a source for the John Landis/Tim Burton info? -- Scarecroe 04:54, 27 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- No. I took all that from Wikipedia, and it looks like one of those random unsourced internet rumors. I took it out. -- Toughpigs 05:04, 27 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- I know that information about them performing in the movie was listed in the trivia section for The Muppet Movie at The Internet Movie Dtabase, where it mentioned that JohnLandis confirmed that he performed grover in a recent interview. Also, at the Muppet Central message board, there is a thread about the making of the final scene, which was posted by a man named Earl Kress, who performed Ernie in that scene, and he said that John Landis performed Grover in that scene, though he didn't say anything about Tim Burton. --Minor muppetz 04:53, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Other characters in finale
Muppet Central Forum member MuppetDude made a complete list of Muppets seen in the finale, and there were few who have not been added here yet. Especially Oscar, who I couldn't see in the big crowd, but did anyone else see him? Also, characters from Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas were also on his list. Should I add them?

- It's not a complete list, but I tried my best to decipher who's who. I spotted Oscar behind Ernie and Bert, near CM and Grover, but the performer held him very low so you could barely see him. The Emmet Otter cast was really difficult; many of them were mock-ups or audience members for the talent contest, so I gave a general description. Stuff like hats and clothing helped me identify some of the major characters (like Ma Otter's white hat and Harvey's pink one), but I didn't see Mumford in the group. -- MuppetDude 16:34, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
- Mumford isn't with the other Sesame folks, oddly. In the full color image of the scene included in the storybook version, which also shows the cameraman, he's a bit behind Statler and Waldorf, right in front of th Gorgon Heap. --Andrew, Aleal 16:38, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm, I missed him. Do you happen to have a scan from the book? It sounds interesting. -- MuppetDude 17:12, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

- I just added Oscar to the list. MasterYoshi 13:29, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
- The storybook version also shows the camera man... what do you mean by this? Is there a reflection of the actual camera man, or did the actual camera man pose with all the Muppts and have it included in the book? --Minor muppetz 23:25, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
