Many Henson anniversary specials and documentaries have clip montages, where several clips play, often over some music so we basically only see the clips and don't hear the audio. I think that it might be fun to list what clips were used in certain montages.
I'll list what clips were in certain opening montages for the various productions first (some of this is going by memory, rather than just recently watching):

Audio for this sequence is Ethel Merman singing There's No Buisness Like Show Buisness (from her appearance on The Muppet Show)
