    Jim Henson Hour questions

Beard was not mentioned by name in the script, and I didn't see him in any of...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets' Oz CD

    Sesame Street series 2 accessories wishlist

    I would rather see it like that too, but I doubt that would happen. The paperclips would be really small, and probably a choking hazard and it would be weird to see paperclips that small attahced. I thought it would be easier and safer to have paperclips the way I listed them.

    Big Bird and the Mysterious Neck Tie

    I meant The Muppet Movie and Follow That Bird. I know that Jim Henson wanted the muppet movie to be filmed outdoors, and I believe I read that the sesame street set in Follow That Bird was built on an outdoor location.

    The hands of Lips

    when steve whitmire performed lips, where his arms operated by arm wires, or was he a live hand puppet? Whenever Lips played the trumpet, i noticed that his fingers move along with the trumpet keys. I don't ever recall seeing arm wires on lips, even though he looks like the kind of muppet...

    Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

    their "real" team-up was in Labrynth.

I am not sure how true this is...
