And for bonus features, there can be featurettes with the cast and crew talking about each character. Maybe individual ones for each of the main characters, and then one for all the other characters (especially those who don't have much to talk about). Or pop-up facts to give info on each character, including those fans might not be familiar with (The Busby Twins, Mr. Chatterly, Leslie Mostly, etc).
And I realise there are characters left out. If I knew of speciffic moments I'd list moments with Shivers the Penguin and Aristotle, and also some clips from when Elmo was performed by Brian Meehl and Richard Hunt. I know I listed several with many of the same main characters, but at least that would help show character development/changes for certain main characters.
