Behind the Scenes of the 'Shrinking' Crossover: Photos, Puppets, and Guest Stars
By James H. Sterling
Q1: Are the 'Shrinking' crossover segments airing as a full television episode?
A1: No. The collaboration consists of six standalone digital video shorts and accompanying behind-the-scenes portraiture. They are released across official streaming and social channels rather than functioning as a standard 30-minute broadcast episode.
Q2: Where were the crossover segments filmed?
A2: The entire production was filmed at Kaufman Astoria Studios in Queens, New York, where Sesame Street has maintained its primary production soundstages since 1992.
Q3: Did the 'Shrinking' cast alter the tone of their humor for the Muppets?
A3: Yes. While the actors preserved their signature character cadences, the dialogue was adapted to fit family-friendly, all-ages standards, prioritizing emotional health themes over adult language or explicit adult themes.
