* The final film appearance of Edgar Bergen (with Charlie [=McCarthy=]), who died shortly after filming, filming but before the film was released, and to whom the film is dedicated. Bergen was a huge influence on Jim's early work. His cameo is underscored by a soft rendition of "Rainbow Connection," adding to the emotion.

* Kermit asks who Doc Hopper's friends are. Hopper says that he has plenty of friends, including Max. Max sadly shakes his head. The way Hopper says "Max...!?" in that disbelieving way really makes you feel for the guy. It's just a shame the moment of introspection doesn't lead to anything.
