Hard not to cry, he impacted our lives so greatly. I know Disney is the king of self promotion and fluff, but Henson truly stands on his own as a true genius, motivator, innovator.
It's very nice to see you again. the best thing that happened to me today. I saw the documentary yesterday and I was very impressed. Henson was a special person who happened to play with dolls. His example gave us all "one" idea: the okay is to play, to discover, to create but above all to share. like you from this point of view thanks Jim thank you Adam
I had the honor and privilege to spend a whole day on the set of Sesame Street around late 80's. One of the last taping seasons she did for the show. He was so gracious and humble. That was a day I will never forget.
Hi Adam. You look great and I’m so glad you are still with us ❤. I’ve been living with cancer and its side effects for 26 years. My wish for you is that you are able to beat it and be here with us for much longer than that. You are such a legend in the puppet world. One day they will make a documentary about you, celebrating your love of puppets and your fighting spirit. Much love from Australia. 🇦🇺 xx
This documentary is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Behind the scenes footage I've never seen before. Make sure you have tissues with you. My gosh, because of Jim Henson, we are puppeteers.
You are like the Jim Henson of our time, I'm into puppets because of you. Camp puppet sounds awesome, but, alas, I am an adult. I can't wait to graduate college and get a full time job so I can really delve into puppetry as a hobby. I've only made one puppet, ever and he didn't last very long, but I'd like to do it again. I can't tell what I like about puppetry that facinates me so much, I think it's just the idea that inanimate objects can come to life in such a nunique way
Great to see you posting, Adam! I am planning to watch the doc now. It's up on Disney+ as I type. My pals at Screen Novelties did the stop-motion work, so I'm especially excited to see that! Sending you love and healing energies! ❤
This is so amazing! My husband took me to the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta and it was so amazing to see the puppets in person. The puppetry camp sounds brilliant. ✨💜✨💜✨
Hi Adam! I have to post here and thank you for making me aware of this documentary… the works of Jim Henson formed so much of my early imagination and education. I was a little country kid in the 70s and 80s and he was my hero. My Mom started helping me make puppets when I was 5 or 6, and I still remember shopping for green and brown fake fur and googly eyes to make an Oscar the grouch puppet from scratch. Oh how I would have loved your channel back then… finding your work has been so nostalgic for me and I’m so happy with what you’ve done with your life, a life I had fantasized about having as a puppet builder and performer like Jim, but ended up becoming a journalist instead. So good to find in you and your work a kindred soul who “gets it” why puppetry is so richly satisfying and such a wonderful gift to “kids of all ages” like me who still cruises the toy stores to see what puppets they have. Also wonderful to live in driving distance to Center for Puppetry Arts in ATL, my favorite room is the recreation of Jim’s workshop and getting to see his desk, books, tools and designs on display. It’s so awesome to see your workshop in the background of your videos and I’ll tell you a secret… yours is better! :) thanks for inspiring a 50-something to keep building projects to bring joy and wonder, and wishing you all the best!
Wow, what a movie, it was exactly what I needed to remind me that regardless of what life has to throw at me, the journey of making the world a brighter place is a gift in and of itself... It's just about a choice, not about achievements. Thanks Adam, for choosing the path of making the world a better place and sharing your love and passion with all of us. Just like Jim, you show us every day that it is within reach for all of us. Some of us believe it and just need to hear it every now and then to remind us... Thank you for being you Adam.
Great to see you! Whole family is looking forward to the documentary. My daughter just got her first puppet for her birthday. She heard you talk about the camp and got immediately excited. Thanks so much for all you do.
I was just thinking of you and how you were doing, then you popped up in my feed! Good to see you. So looking forward to this. I know I’m gonna cry when Rainbow Connection plays. When I was a kid, my Primary School had a performing club and they were doing Rainbow Connection for assembly. I created a small swamp set and banjo out of cardboard for my Kermit puppet I got for Christmas so I could join in. It’s such a special moment for me. All the best, dude.😊
I love to see you posting again! You've been my inspiration to building puppets and arts n crafts! Just so you know you've changed my life in a positive way, thank you :).
I just learned about your health issues. OMG. I am in such shock. Your videos haven't come up on my feed in a long time. I watched all of your health updates. After I made the other comment here. You have such great zest for life. Keep fighting and get passed this. I know you will.
I hope you are doing OK Adam. You are the only puppet channel I subscribe to, but just love your vibe, commitment and the joy you bring people. Get well soon.
Glad to see you back Adam, hope your feeling better cause I felt bad for you having a sickness, I think it might drop soon, also I’d love to get that box of stuff to make a puppet I wanna start a puppet channel myself hope you’ll make some more puppets again soon cause I miss them!
Omg I missed you comming back cause RU-vid didn't notify me! I've been low key worried about you so I looked you up after playing with baz today (the puppet I built with your help :3) I am so glad to see I missed good news not bad news! Welcome back!
The glasses really suit you, so happy to see you here, in front of the wall of joy-filled creatures! Wishing you health and peace, I’m off the watch the video, thank you, as always!❤❤❤❤
Loving the beard though! LOL I'm definitely going to give this documentary a watch. After reading the autobiography, I really want to see how they will cover the life of Jim, maybe discover things that I never knew before.
We have you in high esteem and I want you to know that we are praying for you, we declare that the Lord Jesus Christ healed you and soon you will be as before, with what you are passionate about, we declare a blessing in your life and thank you for teaching us this beautiful art of puppets , a big hug.
From previous documentary releases he was part of the church of sciencetology. They don't believe in going to the doctor to get better. This was all told in those ones prior to this.
I had nerve damage that lasted about a year. Weird way of damaging it. A watermelon. 🍉 Yes. A watermelon. I carried an especially heavy, large melon in a bag, suspended by only my middle finger, as I walked home from a Labor Day celebration in the park at Colchester, ILL. It began to really hurt, but I wanted to challenge myself to tough it out. It went numb. Stayed numb for awhile and it got back some feeling, but took about 1 year to fully recover. If memory serves, I would eat chunks of turmeric, because I knew it sped up the nerve healing process by a large factor. My brother also did this for major nerve damage to his arm, from a work accident, where a machine slammed his arm. Please consider doing this.
