1:55 - WOAH! By setting up their company in Whitmire, S.C, did the Riegel Textile Corp. create some foreshadowing on who Kermit's second performer would be??
Happy 4th of July. Very cool items. Is it true that the Saturday morning cartoon, Muppet Babies was originally going to be puppet animation like Take Manhattan, but it was too challenging for the budget, so they made it 2D animation instead?
My favorite has got to be the Annual. I love those British annuals, and have gotten a few different ones over the years. Muppets ones would be fun to have.
Those Muppets Most Wanted cast shirts were also worn by movie theater employees as well to advertise the movie. A friend of mine works at one and I remember he had to wear one
I have to say, this documentary was absolutely amazing! Sure, they did seem to skim over some of Jim’s later work, but I still enjoyed the documentary through and through! Heck, I even teared up towards the end of the film when Big Bird started singing Bein’ Green at Henson’s memorial despite the fact that I was born nearly eleven years after Jim had passed away!
I don’t agree with all of your criticisms but I definitely agree with the bypassing of Henson’s career post-“The Muppet Movie.” “Fraggle Rock” and “The Storyteller” were some of the greatest, if not the greatest, projects Henson ever did and that’s saying a lot. You can’t do justice to his career by ignoring such artistic triumphs.
I also liked the emphasis on Jane Henson and the new Frank Oz interviews. I find the Disney+ indexing and selectiions very frustrating, perhaps now more than before with the hulu programs crowding the page.
I watched the documentary twice, and I loved it, I loved it even more the second time. I agree with all of the “nit picks” too, but I still felt that it had a ton of heart. I recently read the Richard Hunt biography and I was a little sad that little was mentioned of him, because he did a lot of work for Jim too…it’s almost as if they should have made it into a docu-series…but still I really loved it.
They objectively aren't. Jim Henson was very innovative in the field of puppetry and a lot of the stuff they did on the show was very impressive from a technical standpoint even to this day. You don't really get puppet shows like Sesame Street or the Muppets from anywhere else ofter than Henson and Sesame Workshop.
I think this is good companion doc to Defunctland's amazing 5 part Henson documentary from a few years ago. That one does focus a lot on the 80s... the sucess of Fraggle Rock and Muppet Babies, the stress from the failure of The Jim Henson Hour, and the "god damned (Disney) deal" (Jim"s words).
It was ok but I didn't think it really told any new facts or stories. It could have been a four hour 3 part documentary similar to what Netflix does with its true crime docs. Not only that but they didn't really talk about how Disney doesn't know what to do with The Muppets but they're not good at shining a light on their own mistakes.
Actually The Black Stallion Returns is not a Disney movie. Still a neat find though. Didn't know Disney packaged their read-along books together like that.
What about Don Music or Kermit the Frog or fluffy Oscer pet elephant and Oscer pets don't forget Buster and Freddy the Horse or clambo who is a dective like hemlock .
@@wanupgirl A Furchester attraction would be amazing but sadly I dont think many people have seen it in the U.S. My daughter used to watch it on some cable channel (I forget which) but I dont think it's that well known here.
@@KrazyJoe1701 we watch it on youtube since we don't have cable but CBC kids where I live I think used to play it. I'm in Canada. I wish it was known better here. It's such a cute show.
OK you win! I just focused on the Palisades play sets, I took the Backstage set and added Pop's alcove to the right side and Stage exit right to the left side. The band has their own full stage backdrop and the Swine Trek, Muppet Labs and Swedish Chef have their original format. They always make me smile when I look at them.
Hey Chris! Do you have any of the new Sesame Street figures made by Super7? Series 1 has Ernie, Bert, the Count, and the Yip-Yip Martians. Series 2 was just released with Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, Guy Smiley, and Lefty the Salesman. They're amazing! Grab them if you can. Thanks for sharing your Muppet collection with us.
Damn I wish i had thought of you when I donated Muppet Babies inch tall figures from Dollar Tree a couple years ago to Savers when we moved a few months ago. It wasn't a full set but I had multiples of the original characters minus Summer.
Hey there my friend! that baby animal plush is adorable! did you get those book labels yet? I'm happy I could find stuff to help add you to your museum.
