    Video: Jim Henson at the Muppet Worshop on "CBS This Morning" 1989

    Bit random but just stumbled on this on youtube, not seen it before.

    TV Alert: Frank Oz, Brian Jay Jones honor Jim Henson on The Today Show October 15

    It was ok but odd there was no mention of Jim's other projects, e.g. Storyteller, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal etc.

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    I picked up a copy yesterday so hoping to start reading this weekend! Always used to watch Jim whenever he was interviewed on TV when I was a kid and have watched lots of behind the scenes documentaries over the years but still feel I know very little about him as a person so it will be great to...

    Video: Muppets Most Wanted Official Teaser Trailer On-line

    Have to say, lifelong Muppet fan (35 this year) and really enjoyed the recent Muppets film...but that was a terrible trailer. Hoping the finished product is better.

    Remembering Jim Henson

    I was 11 and a half in May 1990 when Jim died, in my final year at primary school (England) and it definitely felt like a big part of my childhood was over. He was such an inspiration to me as a kid. I've always enjoyed drawing and during primary school I would say probably 90% of my drawings...

    Favorite Statler & Waldorf Quotes

    No idea which episode of the Muppet Show, but I like the one where Statler says "I've a good mind to leave this theatre" and Waldorf says "If you had a good mind you wouldn't be here in the first place!" Also, Great Muppet Caper as they're watching the fashion show: Statler: "Here come the...

    Jim Henson Exhibition at Museum of Moving Image, London, 1990

    that exhibition looks brilliant, would definitely take my kids along if it came to UK. Also, don't know about anyone else but still hate seeing 'Disney's The Muppets' or copyright Disney on Muppet products these days. Hensons' name should be on there!!

    Jim Henson Exhibition at Museum of Moving Image, London, 1990

    Would be interesting to see if they could even do an exhibit like this today, given that all these franchises are now under different ownership - Muppets under Disney, Fraggles / Labyrinth etc under Henson, and Sesame under the Sesame workshop.

    Jim Henson Exhibition at Museum of Moving Image, London, 1990

    Found some info about the museum. Apparently it closed in 2007. Here is a (muppet-free) video of the museum.

    Jim Henson Exhibition at Museum of Moving Image, London, 1990

    yeh, was great. Haven't got photos but they also had some animatronic stuff from Labyrinth and Turtles I think (I remember being able to control a turtle's face on a demo thing they had). Shame this museum closed as they had some great visiting exhibitions like this one. Somewhere my mum also...

    Jim Henson Exhibition at Museum of Moving Image, London, 1990

    Recently came across these old pics from the Jim Henson exhibition at London's (now closed) Museum of Moving Image, way back in December 1990. It was just a few months after Jim's tragic early death and for an already lifelong Muppet fan (It was for my 12th birthday), I really enjoyed it and...
