During the Sesame Street Biography special, they had some really cool archive footage of Jim and Frank playing around with puppets, Jim creating the concept of a muppet, and how muppets come in all shapes and sizes. Does anyone know where all this archive footage came from, and what else can be seen from it?

The Muppets On Puppets is the special you are referring too. Don shows you how to specifically make a muppet in that special and the intro to the muppets was cut short on that Biography special you see more characters such as King Louie (King Goshposh) and Taminella Grinderfall (or however you spell her name lol.) and Kermit refers to himself as a frog.

Wait. I saw some parts of that special and Kermit still had those non-flippery feet and no collar (but a red shirt). So he was a frog before "Hey Cinderella"?
