Life's like a movie.

Write your own ending

Keep believing

Keep pretending

[catlover2696]

jim didn't actually want to do Sesame Street b/c he didn't want to be known for doing kids stuff and not taken seriously. also where did he get the elephant for Time Piece

[TheLostLenore]

Cookie Monster with COOKIES! Oh how I miss those days! Now it is Cookie Monster who has been FORCED to eat veggies and fruit and that cookies are a 'sometimes' food.

Jim would of rolled in his grave when Cookie had changed.

[collgoff]

God bless The Muppets, God bless Jim Henson, God bless us everyone.

[rjangel695]

6:52-7:37 Sooooooooooooooooooooooo cute. I look back in time and just think about how much telvison has changed. These are the shows that shaped the childhood of almost everyone of us. Nothing will ever compare agt what Jim Henson created. His works changed childhood tv soo much. His Talent brought along those favorite show like bear and the big blue house and the Wubulous World of Dr Suess and Sesame street. Thanks Jim for everything. 22 years gone but not forgoten. :)

[RonnieCoffman]

wacka wacka

[ztslovebird]

AWW, that little girl singing the alphabet with Kermit was so cute at the end!

[openmindedaussie]

thanks to the lovers, the dreamers and you.... :-)

[kittycat5498]

the lovers the dreamer and you at 1:26

[thanhbites]

R.i.p. Jim Henson  and John Denver

[firemblem01]

7:20 she was an original troll

[golddemona]

Q-R-S... T-U-COOKIE MONSTER!~ 8D

[toadenk]

from 1:49 to 2:20 or so what is on monitors 1 and 6? 5 (lower middle monitor) is the cube and I love that movie of his

[riotthecha]

@toadenk it just looks like "behind the scenes" footage. Jim's clearly visible on the screen at @1:47 & the other person has a weird glove on his/her hand

[Madinite8]

Awwww! 1:30 is the cutest thing ever.

[LaDracul]

Love the visual thinking bit. :)

[SilverSiana]

That little girl was so sweeeeet!!!!

[ReverendLondo]

I've seen the "abcdef... cookie monster!" clip a number of times on here.

Having it paired with a memorial of the life of Jim Henson, though...?

"I'm leaving!"

"I love you."

"...I love you, too.

Activate total emotional breakdown mode!

[Roselynde]

@ReverendLondo Ayyy. When I read your comment at the beginning of the video I thought "pshh what a putz". Then it happened. :'(

[ReverendLondo]

@Roselynde Glad you felt the same. Watch Mr. Rodgers' pitch for PBC next!

[collgoff]

I sure hope someday they make a movie about Jim Henson.

[MrSteveUtah]

@collgoff Great Thought , One of THEE most influential men of all time, Should have happened already

[collgoff]

@MrSteveUtah What do you mean?

[Simpson654]

@collgoff

If they make a movie in Hollywood about Jim Henson, they'll sure to include infidelity, drug addiction, communist plots, and child abuse (and maybe enterprising spirit). If they make a documentary film in the US, they'll just show muppets having enterprising spirit. If they make a documentary film in the UK, they'll just show how nice and innovative he was. So I'll vote for the UK version, with some enterprising spirit.

[collgoff]

@Simpson654 Drug addictin?

Come on stuff like that never happened to Jim Henson and I think you're pulling my leg.

[antsamthompson9]

Sesame Street is my favorite Muppet seris. Because it was the first one I saw.

[andybpiano]

Jim had excellent taste in jazz!!

[Plushies4Ever]

The little girl that kermit sings the alaphebet with looks like my sister.

[chuckyrocks4321]

jim was a genius

The Muppet Show and the muppet movie were his biggest succeces

[gametosave]

@chuckyrocks4321 what about sesame street, forty years and still going strong

[chuckyrocks4321]

@gametosave well 2 be honest thay took that way 2 far

[zinnycat1597]

"I love you"

"I love you too."

*kiss on the green felt forehead*

That is the SWEETEST thing :)

[AngelusDlion]

I miss you Mr Henson.

[RichardBUnique]

Jim Henson was without doubt the greatest and most influential entertainer who ever lived. His work forever lives on within the eyes of his children, whether they be the first generation who saw Sam and Friends to now.

Because of this Jim Hensons Creations have encompassed the World and no one has ever brought such a level of warmth and humanity.

P.S. At 0:41 you can clearly see Dave (Who Performs Gonzo) Goelz's arms.

[asesino1977]

jim dijo que no queria que sus muñecos se vendieran a dysney y es lo primero que hizo su puto hijo viva jim hemson

[PieFights]

Is that jerry Nelson as the Narrator??

[obiwanobiwan13]

That was the best ABC's in 19 years of them :)

And, you know something, folks?

I'm an English Major, and I, for one, STILL know that C is for COOKIE!

And that's good enough for me... :D

[26doubt]

The little girl with the ABCs was adorable.

[TheHachmom]

When i about 4 I fell in love with Rowfe when he was on the Jimmy Dean show. I even had a toy puppy dog i named rowfe....I was in love with a muppet and didnt even know it yet

[farita86]

is that marlon brando?

[yamiyugifangirl]

LOL that girl was so cute XDDD

[BloodylocksBathory]

LOL I loved when that sequence was shown in an episode of Farscape. "Again with the Cookie Monster! This child is slow!" hehe

[Webkinzrocks400]

I'm not a seseme st. fan, but cookie monster is cute!! u have 2 admit!!!

[Webkinzrocks400]

[GoBurrs]

6:50 best part ever

[superseit82]

"Yo yo Bunny man, you got the projector ready?"

"Did you just call me a Yo yo?"

I love the humor, wit, creativity and imagination.

[terrificjoker]

"Roll Film"

[JEMZgigglebug]

hehe bert and ernie = Ant and Dec lol!!

[Bobzeaux]

4:45 - Normally I would encourage artists of all kinds to evolve in their medium so that they might avoid becoming a one-trick-pony, but maybe Henson was wise to stick with the Muppets. *lol*

Keep me in the loop of The Now; is Cookie Monster still a raging cookie-phile, or did the P.C. Police succeed in making him eat more healthily?

[Teiwaz1977CMS]

Cookie is on a stricked fruit & veggie diet these days.

[Bobzeaux]

STRICT?? Not even a decent balance of fuits/veggies and cookies?? :S

[WhoGroupie1973]

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! the little girl singing the alphabet w/ kermit, the "cookie monster!" laughing moments---I REMEMBER THAT!!!! and the rhyme game! oh! and the singing with the Zulu guys---PRICELESS! oh, i regressed back about 20 years just then..!

[gundammon]

"Yeah, well, I've got a dream too. But it's about singing and dancing and making people happy. That's the kind of dream that gets better the more people you share it with."

[MeloRiFFic94]

i was never alive when jim henson was, and yet im incredibly sad

[PrincessPotato]

Haha, I've watched that Cookie Monster Alphabet bit a million times XD

[spazzumgurl]

To this day I still think of Doc Hopper when I see frog legs on a menu. And I refuse to order them. RIP Jim, you're still loved by millions for all you've given to the world.

[PrincessPotato]

Me too, I've seen that movie so many times. Its amazing.

Keep believing, keep pretending

We've done just what we've set out to do

Thanks to the lovers, the dreamers, and YOU

What better to inspire people to follow their dreams than through a timeless song like "The Rainbow Connection?" RIP Jim Henson...

[thekingof8]

Interesting fact: John Landis was puppeteering Miss Piggy during that segment.

[huntress1863]

I did not know that; I guess more than one person did Miss Piggy... Thanks for the info...

[ZeppoThePuppetMan]

Actually he performed Grover, not Miss Piggy.

[huntress1863]

Oh, I see. Thanks for clearning that up.

[jabbadu431]

"q r s...t u" COOKIEMONSTER!

:D

[FLPman]

I'm glad to see the torch being passed on to other performers.. the muppets will never die!

RIP JMH

[livinlarge18]

This was the first time Steve Whitmire (our favorite Kermit) played Kermit the Frog

[spongebobaxlpants]

RIP Jim Henson a true hero and genius with a pure wholesome vision

[livinlarge18]

RIP Richard Hunt (he died from AIDS in 1992) he was the best voice of Janice

[sonicOneTwo]

RIP Jerry Juhl (He died of cancer in 2005) He was the writer of most productions, as well as puppeteer of some early productions.

[simsgirlgem]

i was told it was pneomonia that killed him

[livinlarge18]

Jim Henson or Richard Hunt Henson had organ faliure and Hunt had HIV that lead AIDS eventually killing him in 1992
