I don't care what people say. Jim Henson was a genius. Way ahead of his time. Were he still alive today, he would have pushed the limits of animatronics, just as Walt Disney pushed the limits of animation.
Bernie Brillstein was Henson's manager, in addition to being John Belushi's manager. In his autobiography he writes that, while tragic, everyone knew Belushi was teetering right on the edge. Henson, the picture of health, walked in to a hospital sick and died several hours later. If you think of how many lives Henson touched with SESAME STREET, then Brillstein was correct in saying that Henson's death robbed us of one of the great, all-time humanitarians...
If I had been one of these hands people I would have suggested to all of the other hands people that at some time during the ACTUAL filming process (where that piece of film would be part of the movie) that we tickle this girl all over her body incessantly while we're holding her.
Like when she says "I guess I'll go down" everybody with the hands just starts laughing SHE CHOSE DOWN.......and starts tickling her incessantly.
if JIM would have never died movies 2day wold be a lot better the this crappy computer animation you see everywhere 2day,,,,,,,,computer animation looks fake as hell ,,,,!!
watching this as an adult (born in 86)…couldn't help but think something pervy during this scene lol
