  • Superstarseven,MuppetVoicesAnd­More please stop MuppetVoicesAndMore is right there not hand socks there Muppets if you don't like them ten don't bag on them.

  • He was a fantastic artist and craftsman, his works should live on forever, I hope they do. And what a great looking exhibit! Seeing Muppets on display with nobody moving them gives me a creepy feeling tho...reminds me of taxidermy

  • I can see some facial similaralities between Jim and his daughter Heather.

  • please bring this exhibit to indiana! i know alot of people and fans would love to see his work here!!

  • Jim Henson was a GENIUS! No matter how old I get, the Muppets make me SMILE.

  • Amazing

  • Thanks for posting a video of Henson's exhibit. Loved it. But the background music is distracting throughout.

  • Would love to see this exhibit but I don't see that it's coming to my city. Have always been a fan of the muppets. Saddens me that puppetry is being pushed aside for CGI. Something about the active human invovlement with puppets that brings them to life.

  • My husband and I just took our daughter to see this exhibit last weekend (March 6, 2010) at the Mississippi Museum of Art in Jackson, MS. It was really cool to see all the characters that I grew up watching on television, in person! And then, that afternoon, we got to watch "The Muppet Movie" with Heather Henson and her troupe. It was an interactive movie viewing. They had all kinds of stuff they gave the kids to use during certain parts of the movie. It was an unforgettable experience. : )

  • Ive Meet Heather and Kermit once or twice...very nice people

  • I can't wait for this to come to Fresno, it's like a dream come true. Thank you Jim Henson Company for putting this out there.

  • Yowzah: Miss Piggy isn't a part of this exhibit, b/c she's still around. Granted, so are the others, but Kermit is Jim's alter-ego, Rowlf was the first international Muppet, Ernie & Bert were the first duo characters Jim and Frank performed with a purpose to teach and inspire, and Cantus (along with Nelson's Gobo, the leader of the Fraggle five) has to be in a Jim focused exhibited, because outside of Kermit, Cantus was the Muppet most connected with Jim in a variety of ways.

  • That kermit was never performed. It's a poser. It's only made for photos and displays.

  • Gerald5000

    He could have been stuffed for the museum.

  • Possible, but unlikely. The posers are made specifically for photo promo work and they don't retroactively fit a puppet with the required armature inside and certainly not to an old original kermit puppet. They put the old puppets in storage.

  • I dunno, but I tell you what. I will go and see it when it comes to my town, and I will look at it closely. If it has a sparkle in it's eye and feels like magic, then he's the real thing. But i have to wait until next year. But, BUT, mark my words, I will look and when I do I will find you Gerald5000 and write to you what I see. Deal? :o)

  • @Gerald5000 If I'm not mistaken, the original Kermit is on display at a museum in Jim Henson's hometown of Greenville, MS. Which, I will hopefully get to go see one day. One would think that since I live in Mississippi, that I'd get the opportunity. lol Maybe one day I will. :)

  • Should have added- having said that, there are of course real puppets there on display.

  • Woah! I didn't know you were a monster. XD

  • Shh, it's a secret.

  • so amazing,wanna break in there and steal the puppets

  • Great video. I had the pleasure of interviewing Ms. (Heather) Henson on a recent broadcast of the Tiki Room Morning show. A wonderful woman to speak with.

    Nice video, guys.

    Chris

  • I only live like an hour from Orlando, I wish I could it know about this exhibit!

  • I can eat mups!

  • sucks

  • how lpng will it be there?

  • A true artist and a true genius. RIP Jim Henson :-)

  • His name is ROWLF, not RALPH.

  • Oh man I would love to go see this

  • No Miss Piggy? Screw this exhibit!

  • i think i heard that something happened to the original miss piggy puppet.

  • Looks like Doc Hopper had Kermit stuffed after all. LOL!

    Such a fuss over Muppets. Ah, those thrilling days of yesteryear, when people were actually entertained by adults with socks on their hands.

  • @Yowzahh Yeah that's really all it is. Socks on people's hands. After all, anybody can do it.

  • @Superstarseven They're not socks. They're Muppets. Much more complex than simple sock puppets. Don't go telling people things you don't even understand yourself.

  • @MuppetVoicesAndMore You didn't even care to check who I was responding to. I'll leave it that.

  • @Superstarseven Actually I did, and neither of you know what the heck you're talkin about.

  • @MuppetVoicesAndMore You seriously have no idea what sarcasm is?

  • @Superstarseven I like to think I do since I've been using it throughout this whole conversation.

  • @MuppetVoicesAndMore No you haven't. You been as serious as a heart attack with all your replies. If you have been using sarcasm (doubtful) you have no idea how to use it.

  • @Superstarseven You're whacked in the head, my friend. Wadda ya say we just leave this where its at and forget about it? Hmm?

  • @MuppetVoicesAndMore Alright stupid, it's your choice.

  • i would love to curate a wing of a museum dedicated to Jim Henson..

  • There will never be another man quite like Jim Henson.

  • Can't wait to see it in Doylstown PA.
