Ron Howard to direct Jim Henson Documentary

[datman24]

Surprised no one's made a thread about this yet. It looks like another Jim Henson documentary in the works, and this one will be directed by Ron Howard, with cooperation from the Henson family. This will also feature some never-before-seen footage, so who knows what that might entail. My only concern is that because Disney is involved with this, they might sanitize certain parts of his life, mainly the part where he's skeptical of the Disney deal. What are your thoughts?

I am excited for this. I hope it includes a lot of Muppet footage not on Disney +. I also hope it leads to more Muppet content coming to the service (even if we have to wait until closer to the documentary's release).
