The film was incredible! It was so nice to get to meet some fellow MuppetCentral people and especially amazing to meet Caroll and Debbie. Here are a few pictures from the event.

Awesome pictures!

I hope the film has some scenes from the early days of Sesame Street...stuff that hasn't surfaced in recent years

Yaaayyy a Caroll Spinney documentary!! He definitely deserved to have one. This looks sweet and interesting, I see it's a lot different than Being Elmo.

It'd be interesting to hear Caroll narrate about his many experiences from his childhood to his beginnings of Sesame to little behind the scenes stories to just simply working with a fellow bird and grouch.

I'm also excited to see all the little (rare) behind the scenes clips and home videos of his life outside Sesame Street. All in all, I for sure can tell that I will be quite moved and inspired the time I'll see this film.
