Bit random but just stumbled on this on youtube, not seen it before.

It was ok but odd there was no mention of Jim's other projects, e.g. Storyteller, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal etc.

I picked up a copy yesterday so hoping to start reading this weekend! Always used to watch Jim whenever he was interviewed on TV when I was a kid and have watched lots of behind the scenes documentaries over the years but still feel I know very little about him as a person so it will be great to...

Have to say, lifelong Muppet fan (35 this year) and really enjoyed the recent Muppets film...but that was a terrible trailer. Hoping the finished product is better.

Nice article posted today by the Jim Henson facebook page: http://flavorwire.com/393253/35-things-you-didnt-know-about-jim-henson/view-all

I was 11 and a half in May 1990 when Jim died, in my final year at primary school (England) and it definitely felt like a big part of my childhood was over. He was such an inspiration to me as a kid. I've always enjoyed drawing and during primary school I would say probably 90% of my drawings...

No idea which episode of the Muppet Show, but I like the one where Statler says "I've a good mind to leave this theatre" and Waldorf says "If you had a good mind you wouldn't be here in the first place!" Also, Great Muppet Caper as they're watching the fashion show: Statler: "Here come the...

that exhibition looks brilliant, would definitely take my kids along if it came to UK. Also, don't know about anyone else but still hate seeing 'Disney's The Muppets' or copyright Disney on Muppet products these days. Hensons' name should be on there!!

Would be interesting to see if they could even do an exhibit like this today, given that all these franchises are now under different ownership - Muppets under Disney, Fraggles / Labyrinth etc under Henson, and Sesame under the Sesame workshop.

No probs. Just wish I had more photos of it!

Found some info about the museum. Apparently it closed in 2007. Here is a (muppet-free) video of the museum.

yeh, was great. Haven't got photos but they also had some animatronic stuff from Labyrinth and Turtles I think (I remember being able to control a turtle's face on a demo thing they had). Shame this museum closed as they had some great visiting exhibitions like this one. Somewhere my mum also...

Ah, sorry, didn't realise this. How about this link then. http://oldmuppetfan.tumblr.com/

Recently came across these old pics from the Jim Henson exhibition at London's (now closed) Museum of Moving Image, way back in December 1990. It was just a few months after Jim's tragic early death and for an already lifelong Muppet fan (It was for my 12th birthday), I really enjoyed it and...

Has anyone posted this link yet? Apologies if so. http://insidemovies.ew.com/2013/01/30/muppets-sequel-exclusive/

Slightly unrelated but my 4 year old daughter Lily thinks Beaker's hilarious "because he looks like a sausage!"

I think Muppet Christmas Carol was overrated but appreciate it was the first one since Jim's death so probably difficult for all involved. I think Great Muppet Caper is very underrated, and while MCC is on telly over here (UK) every Christmas, GMC hasn't been shown since the late 80s. The Disney...

Finally got to watch it on Saturday with my 3 daughters aged 2,4, and 6. Wonderful to see the look of sheer joy on their faces. My youngest, Holly, shouted "FROG!" excitedly when they first showed Kermit. I thoroughly enjoyed it and great to see characters like Dr Teeth, Scooter, Link etc...

It was very funny, Miss Piggy on top form!

Saw this at the cinema before the new Sherlock Holmes film the other night. It was brilliant and totally unexpected - "It's time to download music, it's time to text your friends, it's time to get things started on The Orange Show tonight!" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFyPna57QZo
