Remembering Jim Henson

Jim Henson, died seventeen years ago today, May 16th.
Here's a clip filmed just shortly before his death, watch as he,
Frank and Michael talk about the Muppets' designs and attitudes,
particularly Kermit's personality.


And for another real treat, watch this clip below, to see my favorite
part (which is one of the best moments of puppet acting ever!)
Wait for it to load up and fast-forward to 7:00, where Fozzy Bear
is on stage, pure genius, absolutely hilarious!

I love what Jim Henson says right at the end about the puppet violence, this translates directly to animation violence.
