One of the best scenes ever committed to film has to be the bicycle scene from THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER (1981). It’s funny, it’s touching, it’s graceful, and it’s also a great technical feat, involving radio control, animatronics, a huge crane to operate the marionettes, clever editing techniques, the works.
Director Jim Henson sent in an application to be considered for a visual effects Academy Award, but it wasn’t even nominated (RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK won that year, beating DRAGONSLAYER).

The controversial “puppet” cover of the 1970 Jimi Hendrix album, BAND OF GYPSYS, showing Hendrix, Rolling Stone Brian Jones, British DJ John Peel, and Bob Dylan. Deemed too hideous, it was later replaced with a concert photo.
The puppets were made by Saskia de Boer, who would later do the back cover of the 1971 The Faces LP, A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To Blind Horse (image 3).
I don’t think the Hendrix cover is ugly—or maybe it is, but more than that, it’s also unusual, intriguing, which is better than some standard live performance shot.
