Puppeteer Kevin Clash and Elmo, with director Constance Marks, in Park City for the Sundance Film Festival premiere of the film."Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey,"
"See? It's universal. ...they're all scared of Elmo!" Oh gosh Kevin. I didn't know the Muppet ability to be spontaneously hilarious lived on in you... I had thought it died years ago. THANK YOU!
Saw this tonight...my eyes are watery just thinking about it. such a beautiful story...almost all of us have grown up w/ Sesame Street...i am now 25...and ill gladly admit that this movie made my eyes water more than any other movie I can think of (and i am a die-hard movie fan...infact i see too many and spend too much $ on them)...this made everyone laugh A LOT!!!! and sniffles constantly being heard. the most heartwarming documentary i have ever seen.
I don't know about those "victims". I don't know if they're telling the truth. I was not there. All I know is, he's my favorite Elmo voice actor. No one can replace him. I think that he's dead now. Rest in peace.
i went to the real being Elmo and when it got to the part about Kevin's sister's B-day, i was holding back tears.He truly is very talented, and i think that the highschoolers who though that Elmo was for babies, made a terrible choice by missing out on an opportunity of a lifetime. In fact, the real Kevin Clash was there and one of the little girls in the audience got to puppeteer the real Elmo( which i think is something everyone in the entire audience would've really wanted to do, 14+ or not.)
@littleengie: Yeah. I never cared for Elmo's oversaturation that's put him in place of his other Sesame stars--as I'm not that's not what Elmo nor Kevin wanted--but even so, Kevin's liveliness with the character in specials (ex: 2004's The Street I Live On) & here, in things like off-set interviews & promotional appearances, has made him enduring.
