4	This film, unusual for ''Sesame Street'', has a glut of these moments:
5
6	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTK4eEqMa3Y One Little Star]], sung by Big Bird, Olivia, and Snuffy about how they miss each other.
7	* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s72yukCJvnQ I'm a bluebird, that's been dreaming...]]" Even [[PetTheDog Sid]] cries over the song.
8	** When the two kids who see him and ultimately tell everyone on Sesame Street where he is peek at him, they see Big Bird [[SingleTear shedding a single, realistic tear]]. Muppet magic.
9	** The song becomes more poignant following Big Bird's (and Oscar's) longtime puppeteer Creator/CarollSpinney's passing.
10	* When Big Bird tells Snuffy he has to leave. Their reunion at the end of the film counts as both this and Heartwarming.
11	* Big Bird saying goodbye to the rest of his Sesame Street friends afterward.
12	-->'''Maria:''' Don't forget, Big Bird, we love you!
13	** Even [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold OSCAR]] is saddened upon Big Bird's departure... in his own grouchy way, of course.
14	-->'''Big Bird:''' Well, goodbye, Oscar.\
15	'''Oscar:''' (''genuinely surprised'') What? Why, that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me. (''sniffs'')
16	* When Big Bird sends hi friends a letter telling them about his new family, it's hard not to frown when you hear the last line.
17	-->''I should be happy, what's wrong with me?''
