• There has been much debate as to whether The Muppet Movie or A Muppet Family Christmas is more of a Jim Henson victory lap. In any case, both are Crowning Moments for everyone involved and both feature a fantastic moment at the end that is somewhere in-between this and Crowning Moment of Heartwarming:
  • "Here's to the lovers, the dreamers, and you!"

Mad Scientist: Say Goodbye to the frog, pig! Piggy: Why should I? Mad Scientist: Cause in about ten seconds, he won't know you from kosher bacon! Piggy: THAT DOES IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! [Bursts out of her bonds and proceeds to whoop ass.]

• From a production standpoint, Kermit riding the bicycle. Decades later and people are still impressed by the puppetry work.
  • In the same vein, the duet between Kermit and Rowlf. It fulfilled something of a desire of Jim Henson's that would've been impractical on The Muppet Show (as he performed both characters and the average episode had a obviously tighter filming schedule).
• Giant Animal.
• None other than Orson Welles providing the film's final cameo, fulfilling all of Kermit's dreams without even needing to see any of his act.
