Jim Henson: Ideas Man
In this review we have three muppets on display, though at least two of them are being poorly puppeteered, and one may in fact be a feral, or maybe even a “Feeble”. they are talking about the new Disney plus doco exploring the life and times of Jim Henson the creative powerhouse behind some of the most enduring and beloved characters of our time.
Dion is away, but Quinny, Jill and Peta are playing the music and lighting the lights on this muppet show tonight…
Synopsis:
“Ideas Man” takes us into the mind of the singular creative visionary; Jim Henson, from his early years puppeteering on local television advertisements, to the worldwide success of Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and beyond. Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ron Howard captures Henson’s restless creativity, ambition, and artistic evolution in the style and spirit of his complex subject.
