* AudienceAlienatingPremise: As beloved and popular as ''Series/SesameStreet'' was, one of the biggest reasons for the film's disappointing performance at the box office was that nobody wanted to pay and see a film based on a kids' show they could watch on Creator/{{PBS}} for ''free''. Sesame Workshop would try a ''Sesame Street'' film again a decade later with ''Film/TheAdventuresOfElmoInGrouchland'', which also flopped for the same reason.

* MoralEventHorizon: The Dodos are a strange child-friendly case, being [[TheDitz obnoxious ditzes]] than actual villains. But it's made clear they cross this by rejecting Big Bird's friendship with Mr. Snuffleupagus, due to the latter [[FantasticRacism not being a bird]], which causes him to run away from them. And when Kermit goes to interview them, they're more excited about being on TV than concerned about Big Bird's disappearance.

Obviously it's not that alienating if the film is well-regarded as they say it is

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Popular as the show was/is, parents didn't find taking their kids to see Big Bird on the big screen (weak pun intended) worth the money when they could just show it to them on television for no charge. The movie ended up VindicatedByVideo, with modern audiences, especially millennials (people born between 1981 and 1996), viewing the film fondly.

** At the start of the film, an announcer tells the audience to rise for the Grouch Anthem, to which Oscar corrects him and says for the grouch anthem you should stay sitting down. The test screening was comprised of children who were too small to see past the seats in front of them, leading to the director instructing them to stand up when watching the movie so they could see the screen.

* {{Squick}}: The Don't Drop Inn's menu. Reflecting typical Grouch tastes, the menu includes cod liver oatmeal, candied clams with French dressing, cream of garlic soup with maraschino cherries, and roast beef with butterscotch and anchovies. The one item that doesn't sound sickening is their tossed salad...if you can overlook their serving via catapult.

It's funny (especially for older viewers, who might be familiar with ''Film/{{Patton}}'', which the bit is a takeoff on), but it's rather random; the WB logo doesn't appear until after it's over, no doubt confusing some people.
