Back in 1994 or 1995 Jim Henson's Creature Shop was featured on the Discovery Channel's Movie Magic Series. I'm looking for a summary of this episode, screen shots, ratings, etc. I'm also wondering if this is available on video anywhere? Any help is appreciated.

It's not available on video, but the Creature Shop book, No Strings Attached, is the next best thing. I'd kinda like to see this too.

I have a copy of it (I THINK I still do anyway.....I don't have the means of transferring it though, sorry) but I remember it wasn't that great. It briefly touched upon the history of Henson's Creature Shop but spent a lot more time on then-current films they worked on like NeverEnding Story 3.....I would've rather have seen more early Creature Shop related stuff. It was only like a half hour or so.

I know that they released a Jim Henson VHS biography some time in the
1990's. If you look on amazon or ebay you might be able to find a copy. The title was something like: The World of Jim Henson, don't take my word on that though.
