Henson's Place: The Man Behind the Muppets

Henson's Place: The Man Behind the Muppets 52 minute documentary that was made in 1984. It covers the career of Jim Henson and the Muppets, starting from its inception up to his planning of Labyrinth. It was narrated by Julia McKenzie, who also did the interviewing. Those interviewed were Jim Henson, Jane Henson, Frank Oz, Michael Frith, Joan Ganz Cooney, Jerry Juhl, David Lazer and Lord Lew Grade. Also interviewed are Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, in the beginning not really knowing who Jim Henson was, and later giving different points of view on their potential marriage. Among the topics discussed are Jim's early work, including Sam and Friends and Wilkins commercials; Sesame Street, mostly focused on characteristics of Big Bird, Ernie and Bert; Lord Grade's enthusiastic support for The Muppet Show, and later The Muppet Movie and The Great Muppet Caper, all without a contract; Fraggle Rock and The Dark Crystal. Frank Oz speaks about what he brings to his characters, such as Bert, Animal and Miss Piggy. The Muppet Stuff store (now defunct) is shown, and Jim speaks about merchandising as a necessity to help keep his projects going. Jim speculates that the Muppet characters will last as long as audiences want them to. User: spam_vigilante Jan 2, 2009 4:20 AM

Sesame Street: Sculpture of Bert

Sesame Street: Sculpture of Bert From the 1972-73 season, uploaded by request. Ernie (Jim Henson) runs out of clay before he can finish sculpting a bust of his buddy Bert (Frank Oz). There aren't too many things on Sesame Street that scared me when I was younger, but for some reason at the age of 4 I was terrified by the Ernie & Bert sketches that involved nose removal.

Kermit Sings The Rainbow Connection

Kermit Sings The Rainbow Connection A popular song written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher and originally performed by Kermit the Frog (Jim Henson) in the opening scene of The Muppet Movie in 1979. By extension, as evidenced in the TV special, The Muppets at Walt Disney World, the song has come to epitomize the ideals and artistic spirit of Henson and his company as much as "When You Wish Upon a Star" represents Walt Disney and his company.
