Curious, have the filmmakers actually stated that this is a tribute to Jim, that that's what they intended the film to be? Either way, a brilliant film. Saw it in Ottawa at OIAF.
I know one of them and Im not sure its just a tribute. Its maybe gonna be a real movie one day......... who knows... may the whole world conspirate in realising that they sooooooo diserv it
Oh god, a fellow animator showed this to me recently, and as I watched it for the first time you have no idea how hard it was to hold back my tears and clear that lump in my throat. This is just so absolutely beautiful. It's so moving, and the subtle messages in it just hit me so hard.
@cartoonlover2326 I think it's one of those things where deep down they know, but they're denying it in hopes that by moving him like a puppet, he'll come back. When he doesn't, they accept the truth.
I remember watching this on youtube years ago but I think it got deleted. Pity. But I'm so happy to have found it again. *saves it quickly* Thank you. :o) I love this - it's just so moving, macabre, quirky and wonderful all at once.
Very touching, beautiful. Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Richard Hunt, rest of the team plus Kermit the frog and the rest of the gang and mostly Miss Piggy made me who i am. I felt very emotional watching this film
There is a strong relationship between the puppeter and his puppets. Just look how the movement, light and sound are selected and joined to show the message. Perfect animation.
Lo ha cancellato lui stesso il suo commento...cmq alla fine erano solo dei complimenti per aver postato questo video che cercava da tempo.Non so perchè lo abbia tolto....cmq forse volevi scrivere spettacoloso ^_^....belllaaaa

hey guys,
I found one of the three songs: it's Eili Eili, a traditional jewish song.
The versions of this song on Youtube are not so good but I found some really good versions on Spotify !
i'm still looking for the other songs... I can't find the album of Benedict Silberman :(

Do they know he's dead or do they think he needs moving? either way, it's an excellent fill?

Tasteless, charmless, lifeless, idiotic. Everything Jim Henson wasn't.

It had some charm, and I think thats the point, He is dead, he is being mourned and no longer has the life that he so personified.
