Just wondering if anyone has any info on the puppeteers working on Jim Henson's Animal Jam.

I just received a flyer looking for children ages 6-12 to be in the audience.
The flyer describes the show as "a wild, music-driven, dance show for preschoolers".

The rest of the flyer says that "Children are invited to come and be part of this lively dance party where they will learn exciting new moves and physical skills, as well as have a great time with our larger-than-life animal puppet hosts".

It is taping at the Disney-MGM Studios May 6 - June 21.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the info. Sounds very interesting.

For those who don't know, Animal Jam is a new show that The Jim Henson Company is currently working on. The show will air on The Learning Channel, a network branch of the Discovery Channel.

Phil,

How come no one has talked about this before now ?

I thought everyone would have been so pleased that Henson are making a new show !

From what ive heard the Puppets are kinda like the Song of the Cloud Forest Muppets.

Chris,
Does the letter have the 'Jim Henson's Animal Jam' logo ?

See ya

RATS!!! I thought that Animal Jam was a music program featuring Animal himself! I mean, it would be SO COOL if ANimal had his own show. But I doubt this isn't going to be any good. After all, It's quality Henson Entertainment!!!
