Famous Christmas Puppets at the Center for Puppetry - Atlanta, GA 

The puppeteer for Bert in the window art was the legendary Frank Oz.

Producer Arthur Rankin finally revealed on NPR in 2007 that Dolly considers herself a misfit due to her low self-esteem issues and psychological problems. She's a doll who feels that she is unlovable.Dec 11, 2013

She was extremely sad and depressed because she was rejected by the girls she's given to according to Bass and ranking who created the show

Thank You! I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed Santa was a jerk in the Rudolph animation.

5:45 the other puppeteer next to Jim Henson in the stained glass window is Frank oz.

That place is chocked full of my childhood. I grew up watching Sesame Street and The Muppet Show. I love all things Jim Henson. Thanks for showing that place.

Oh how id love to attend that classic Rudolph puppet show! 🥺❤️ And I agree...Santa was a real jerk in that movie.

Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas is my favorite holiday show. This made my heart happy.

Lol there’s so much places that you’ve been to that I wanna go!

That Skekshod from the dark crystal are known as the Skeksis they terrifed me to as a child

Mystery Science Theater 3000!!! Best show Ever.

Muppets always a joy.

The abominable snowman puppet absolutely terrified me as a child

*WHY WEREN'T YOU AT ELF PRACTICE?!*

That's a walk down memory lane I would like to have made! Talk about feeling like a kid again!

Dolly's reason was never explained, but Arthur Rankin Jr. said it was a more psychological. Like she was there cause she was rejected or abandoned too many times.

Good nod - these guys were REAL to me both the joy and the horror ( thank you Jim Henson) but they expanded my imagination.

Love from Georgia, I haven’t been to the center for puppetry in years!!!

Being from Atlanta I have many fond memories of The Center. Just to let people know, it's The Center for Puppetry Arts. Just in case someone wanted to look them up and/or visit.

Thanks for visiting us at the Center! (I'm the Grants Manager)

I'm a day late, but, I just wanted to thank-you Jacob for this. I was 3 years old when Sesame Street stepped on the scene. I loved all the characters. I admit I cried watching this because it brought back a flood of memories as it help shape my life. Sorry for the dramatics. Did I say thank-you? THANK-YOU. LOVE WHAT YOU DO.

oh my heart and this Emmitt Otter!! That was my mother and I Christmas movie as a child. I loved ♥ ❤ seeing all these puppets! Thank u!

Hear that everyone, Herbs wants to be a Dentist

It's been a hard year .But so this channel I dont have to leave the house to see all this cool stuff I love this channel.

Thank you, that was fascinating! I hope to see this on my next trip to Atlanta.

The muppets show was so much fun

12:42 They're called the Skeksis.

Wonderful museum that brings back a lot of fantastic memories. They brought a lot of joy to many people and still do. Keep Safe ❤ Keep Well❤

The Bird creatures from the dark crystal are called the Skeksis

one of the things I discover about Rudolph the red nose reindeer is that the original black and white version is deemed to be lost.

This was a cool place. Loved all the puppets.

I just turned back into small child me and squealed wow just wow, thank you 🥰

It was so cool to see the puppets from Emmet Otter's Jug-band Christmas, My dad has shown it to me every year since i was little

My childhood is here!!!!!!

This place is Amazing! When I was in the 6th grade we made our own puppets. We were put in groups and had to come up with a story and act them out.

Jim Henson- legend forever!

I love your channel! I have cancer and put my bucket list together. I know I'll never be able to make it to these places. You are able for someone like me to see these places and have the privilege of experiencing at least some of those places. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I went there on a field trip when it first opened. It was awesome back then but I was pretty young so I’d love to go back I’m sure I’d enjoy it much more as an adult. Thanks for sharing Jacob

Wow, I did not know this museum was started by Jim Henson. I love all things muppets- I will need to visit!

Because of this channel, I’ve made a list of museums that I never knew existed lol

Now I have a reason to go to Atlanta!

A lot of my childhood memories in that building! Thank you for sharing! 😊

Brings back memories of my childhood. Thank you for the video

Tom servo and Crow! Very cool!

misfit toys.my childhood..this is really touching to see

Welcome back to Atlanta. I worked on one of their shows MANY years ago. An amazing experience. So glad you visited!

Merry Christmas 2020🎄🎀🎁🎅🤶

Hmmm...Essence of Gelfling!

So happy you still get the opportunity to do this! I live in Green Bay and a lot of things (all museums) are still closed and I haven't gotten to do anything in almost a year 🥺 i have a whole museum bucket list thay I wanted to do this summer but it didn't happen so I just come here and watch these to make myself feel better. I love this channel and would love to be doing what you do as a means of income. Keep doing you 🖤

this video is awesome my family and I decided one Christmas to collect one thing so we decided to collect all the rudolph Characters we have 3 totes full of rudolph stuff. its exciting to see how big the puppets actually are

Hi Jacob very awesome and cute vlog at the Famous Christmas Puppets of Jim Henson creations! Used to enjoy watching Sesame Street when I was younger! Very educational show to watch back in the days! stay well and safe!

Wow, did not realize how big the puppets actually are!

I don't remember Dog City but he police doggo was DEFINITELY used in Muppet Christmas Carol!

Sam the snow man was voiced by burl ives. The song holly jolly christmas is back on billboards 100 as of this writing on december 9, 2020

Thank you I just love the puppets, the only ones I did see were the two old men from the balcony. And the bird like creature were called Skeksis.

you help me get thu this time and now i know where i must go when i can return to my travel filled life

Charlie in the box is my favorite

I loved this!

Also - I never knew what was wrong with the misfit doll - now (thanks to you) I know -

I loved watching corpses bried

I agree with you about Santa being different in Rudolph. Every other Rankin Bass Santa is sweet and wise but Rudolph Santa doesn’t give a sh- oops it’s Christmas Eve gotta be nice 😉

Wow this is a great video thank you

The episode of Sabrina started John Ratzenberger as Santa Claus who injures his leg so Sabrina steps in and takes his place, riding her vacuum cleaner with Salem dressed as Rudolph she delivers the Christmas presents to the whole world,, you can see the little goggles salem wore on bottom right hand side of the display stand.

Great trip.

I hope that soon the Dark Crystal AoR puppets can get a home here

Really enjoyed that Jacob 👍🇬🇧

The two reindeer names were Donder and Blitzen in the poem/story. Their names mean Thunder and Lighting.

My family forces us to watch Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas every single year.

Anyone remember the PBS show Letter People. That used puppets too. Great video Carpet Bagger!👍😃

Another great video. You go to lots of fantastic places, I look forward to them and more to come Stay safe 🇺🇸🇬🇧🎄😷👍

Great video! We went there summer of 2019 during our road trip and had such a great time. I was literally amazed how big it was and how many displays they had. Since it wasn’t the season for it, we didn’t get to see the Rudolph display or show. That’s awesome that you were able to see the display at least.

"You gotta put a hole in the washtub"

Jim henson was also the creator of the dinosaurs '80s TV show

The dolly was rejected from the little girl who got her for a gift. So the dolly was sad all the time & felt she wasn't good enough. Poor thing😔

Awesome video! Thank you for taking us along.

I love Bumble also I have the Build a bear version of him that was out a few years ago

That species from the Dark Crystal is called the Skeksis ( Skehk-Sees) and man were they horrifying ! Lol

Very interesting!!!

9:02 My brain: “ah yes, the iconic character of 69” 2 seconds later *sees Cookie Monster and Elmo* Oh.

Awesome 👍👍👍👍

I have a friend that works there. Seems like a cool place.

Omg i love Rudolph and Clarice

Doll couldn't Cry

Three out of 25, it moved. Take Care Jacob.

I fucking love this guy u know

Very cool..

If you like this, you should also search out videos of the Jim Henson exhibit at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, NY. Its fantastic. includes more than just puppets, from his entire career.

Thanks Jacob!

Awesome video

That was great! Loved seeing that! Thank you

Lol. Why did my brain randomly think of these moving at night like in the night of the museum movies 😅

Would love to see you go to Zac Bagans haunted museum

there’s a famous puppet tv show in Chile named 31 Minutos (31 Minutes) is very well known in latin america, hopefully one day they make it to the museum

I jst wanted to say tht I missed whichen your videos I haven’t which it in a while but I’m going to from now on

That was awesome! I have a few professional ones myself! Loved the muppets and sesame street when I was little!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Jacob. I like Jim Hansen but, some of those muppets are creepy.

Oh thanks, that's so nice! I love Sesame Street and the Muppets. 💗🤩💗

I went here today

I think the other guy in the window is Frank Oz, who did the voice for Fozzie bear as well.
