Big Bird on The Great Muppet Caper???

[GonzoLeaper]

I wasn't sure where to put this, but I figured this fit under TV appearances. Anyway, I read somewhere on a website that was listing Big Bird's appearances that he showed up in The Great Muppet Caper. I know he was in The Muppet Movie and The Muppets Take Manhattan, but I don't remember this one. Can anyone tell me where Big Bird was in The Great Muppet Caper?

Also, while we're talking about cameo appearances, I noticed a lot of things in Kermit's Swamp Years. I happened to like that movie. It was a fun movie, although they had way too many jokes about flatulence. In fact, it got downright smelly and stinky after a while.
Anyway, I did notice an Animal keychain on the pet store owner's key ring, and a Miss Piggy figure hanging from his rearview mirror. I also liked the young Jim Henson meeting Kermit scene and the fact that his dog was named Rowlf. Also, when Kermit floated up in the air with the balloons, I couldn't help but think of Gonzo floating away into the sky with a bunch of balloons in The Muppet Movie.
And then when, I saw A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, there were a couple of neat things like that too, especially the scene where Doc Hopper's French Fried Frog Legs exists in the alternate universe.


Anyway, if anyone can answer my question, I'd appreciate it.

Moved your discussion to Classic Muppets since that's where most Muppet movie talk is archived.

Big Bird is not in the Great Muppet Caper. More than likely the Web site was thinking of the Muppet Movie rather than Caper.

BUT, Oscar the Grouch was in the Great Muppet Caper

You know in the Muppet Movie there is a scene in the EM bus that you can see a Big Bird Valentine on the wall near the driver's seat;-) i think it can only be seen in wide screen, but i'm not sure.

Man, this makes me sad. thinking back at that wonderful magical time when legalities and licences dint get int he way of muchos Sesame/Muppet show production cameos. There was spose to be an Uncle Matt cameo in MFS. It just aint fair...if I was a higher up at JHC I'd darn well try to get more Sesame and Fraggle crossovers like the good ol days. A classic Muppet world without crossovers is lame. Darn you EM.TV for selling all the rights back to CTW!!!

You also see Baby Rowlf play with a Big Bird doll in TMTM. (Actually, Big Bird appears in that movie for real, but he doesn't say anything.)
