    Kevin's Response to Criticism?

    I'm just curious about this. Knowing that because many people call Elmo's popularity too much of a good thing, or just plain overexposed, what has Kevin Clash said about all of this? I love Elmo very much and think it is wonderful how he has kept the show fresh (:wisdom: although in all honesty...

    Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey documentary in development

    Looks like the Kevin Clash documentary could be the next big thing from Sesame Workshop since "The World According to Sesame Street". It looks like it should be a great piece of history. There could be some unexpected surprises us Henson fans have always wanted to see. I must say that Kevin...

    Hi, I recently just a got a new Windows 7 system for my computer. Since it is high speed, I've been looking through some of my PC games and found the one for Muppet Treasure Island. I figured that since I enjoyed playing this when I was younger, I would give it another go. Unfortunately, I...

    Henson Townhouse Photos

    I am regretful for never actually going inside this historic mansion, which even more sadly was the last place where Jim Henson himself worked at. I stood outside the building when I was in NYC in 2001 (two weeks before 9/11), but I din't think I could actually go inside. Now that the company...

    Der Spiegal

    I believe that this was a magazine that showcased Sesamestrasse in Germany in 1974. What was written about it? Does anyone have any uploads or scanned images?

    Red Diamond Coffee

    Here's a set of commercials with Wilkin's and Wontkins I've never seen. I didn't think Jim Henson had a client like this. But the best part of it is that they are all in color. Check 'em out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj8pQNrt2tU

    Contacting Phil Chapman

    Hi. I know that this is probably a very unusal thread, but there is something that I need help with that is Henson related. I'm not sure if someone like Phil Chapman could help me but I don't know who else to turn to. It's about a program I'm looking for that aired years ago and I don't know who...

    New Exhibit?

    Just found this off of Google: http://www.rotostudio.com/projects.aspx?catid=43 Is this supposed to be for the Center of Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, or some other museum? Maybe it's for its own independent museum in it's own way. :smirk:
