Caroll Spinney would have probably been needed to be on the show, yet he performed for most of the movie. Also, a lot of Sesame Street puppets were used, meaning that they weren't at the set for the series (unless they rebuilt all puppets). Then again, if the schedule did have anything to do with the movie, maybe that's why Fran Brill and Northern Calloway (David) weren't in it.
And Richard Hunt didn't do a lot of performing in the film either. He was probably being used for the show too.

Maybe when you go to Sesame Workshop you can find things out.

I think Sesame Street should bring back Miss Finch or The Dodo's! Re-introduce them to the "new" audience... and by the way, does anyone know how much this film grossed?

There are some pictures of the film I've got in a book - but some of these pics aren't even in the film! I know they were taken just for the book - but some of them don't add up sometimes...parts are missing..

I wonder how she would work as a reoccurring character on the TV show.
