[SCLARK2112]

[baysacrazy]

might you consider reloading this where it's a bit less grainy? it's one of the best ones i've found but it's so fuzzy in the beginning and grainy throughout. - just curious. : ) thanks for the tribute!

[TheBoomer418]

Jim Henson was part of my childhood growing up. His muppets just conneted to me when a was child. Thank U Jim for giving us Kermit the Frog, Fozzy The Bear, Animal and ETC. U were the closest thing to a Walt Disney.

[delaina910]

Loved all of his work... there will never be another one like Mr. Henson!

[PapagenoJuan2]

Youtube classic :))) RIP Jim Henson. True genius <3

[SWATKatGirl92]

I never knew Jim Henson he died before I was born. But whenI started watching Seseme Street the Muppets and now Fraggle Rock it's like as if I knew him all along. And I know that he's up there somewhere watching over me and all of us.

[genbairen]

wow his death was 20 years ago... but his legacy will never be forgotten.

RIP Mr. Henson.

[musicfanatic6790]

the song i hear at 00:48 souds like the voice of Jim Henson, did he sing?

[SunnasChariot]

Oh, yes. he sang all his characters. From Kermit, to Rowlf to Ernie.

[FLPman]

@musicfanatic6790

Yes

[musicfanatic6790]

i Agree with him, i also have a child in me when im getting older i desire to do things i did when i was a little kid, growing up sucks sometimes!

[MaladaptiveCatalyst]

i'm with ya on that too!! growing up is inevitable, but doesn't mean we can't act like little kids sometimes...too much stress and responsibility makes life seem less fun.

[musicfanatic6790]

sometimes i wish i could throw with waterbaloons and shoot with waterguns haha thats much better than paying rent and taxes :-)

[MaladaptiveCatalyst]

yes! i have had a water balloon fight in many years. Right now I am re-watching Labyrinth (1986) a film that Jim Henson worked on. I also haven't seen it in many years. Great memories as a child.

Rent and Taxes, ugh...

[musicfanatic6790]

i have that movie to, i also had that other one of him i cant remember the title.

Taxes and rent suck ass especially now in this time of recession, everything gets more and more expansive

[sparklegrl0713]

What is the clip at 1:12 from? It's so funny, but I have no idea where to find it again!

[ptono80]

Thank you for make me the person who i´m now RIP

[PapagenoJuan]

Jim Henson was the last great, and lovable genius!!! :)

[CSIS25]

Jim Henson Put smils on millions of kids and Adults faces... He will never be forgoten... I would love to thank him for so many funny and happy memorys in my life, somthing you just cant put a price on is happy memeorys Thanks Jim Henson from the bottom of my heart

[RabbitDance]

He was really handsome. :o)

[sparklegrl0713]

Indeed he was.

[ThePuppetTree]

Thanks for posting this.

Jim was such apart of my life. It was great to see some of the rare clips in this like the sam and friends clip at the beginning.

[jlyn1980]

Thanks Jim

[lolazabagabe]

Happy Jim Henson Day! This is a great tribute, thanks for putting it together <3

[druidmechanics]

Jim Henson succeeded in leaving the world a better than he found it.

[Tint301]

@druidmechanics He wanted parents and children to cherish the time they spent together.

If there are "Good People", he was one of them.

[Sclasspsycho]

I've figured out how to play the tune of "Follow Me" and the song Cantis (sp?) sings with his pipe on the piano! I'm so happy! lol

[sparklegrl0713]

It's Cantus, and that's fantastic!! You should post a video of you playing them on here!

[sailortweek]

This is a gorgeous tribute. I've been spending an awful lot of my free time at the EMP here in Seattle roaming through the Jim Henson exhibit. I've met some amazing people who worked with Jim, one of his daughters, and his wife.  This man was so important to me as a kid...and I'm finding out that he's still important to me as an adult.

[Sclasspsycho]

Jim Henson is one of my favorite childhood icons. Even though I'm only 16, I grew up with Muppets and Fraggles and I love 'em so much! My younger siblings can't feel the pure emotions in Fraggle Rock like I can, so they don't understand. I watch Labyrinth and the Dark Crystal all on my own, and that's what's so great about Henson's work, everyone can love it! I really wish he wasn't dead. Sorry for the rant, but I had to get it out.

[MistyJr95]

I was born 4 years after he died and didn't even know his name until a few months ago, but I still miss him. And I LOVE his voice.

[Angie2343]

Jim Henson created a dynasty! He's amazing!

[kegorogers]

I always find myself struggling between laughter and sorrow because Jim Henson was such a integral part of my/our childhood. I miss his sense of generosity and sincerity in the world today.

"I'm Going to Go Back There Someday" ~ So long old friend.

[88888888BBBBBBBB]

Jim Henson is the king of the muppets and he was a genius.

[SchuleDesNichts]

he definitely was! a great american artist.

[rhodestwins]

i love the muppets and my idol is jim henson

[hist101]

i remember when he died it was the same week if not day Sammy Davis Jr. died.The summer of '89

[Jbrangwynne53]

Jim Henson actually died on the same day as Sammy Davis Jr. on May 16th,1990.

[hist101]

Thanx Jbrang

I was surprised how much that affected me.I born in July 1968 Both of those men were really important if you were a Gen X kid.And for both of them to die the same day when I was 21 it became official:MY CHILDHOOD WAS OVER

[bobandrayfan1]

Jim we miss you very much!

Thanks for helping to make this a better, richer world thru your gift of laughter.

See you on the other side my friend.

[i3arc]

He left this world a much better place than it was. The best are always taken from us so soon. Its true what they say, 'Nothing gold can stay.'

[DrWebflaxFLOO]

Jim Henson was- and still remains- my idle.

[pattywolford]

I just loved him!

[YodaBannon]

Good ol Jim....I miss him so much. :-)

[zbot92]

1:24 is amazing!

[skyluver4]

this tirbute is form muppet con he did not make this

[skyluver4]

what the song that goes rocking rain and the blowing snowstorm

[ljks1]

that song is called

Let me be your song

It is from fraggle rock. Cantus (Jim Henson) is the one singing and he is my favorite caracter in fraggle rock ;D

[PapagenoJuan]

I love when he is signing autographs on that high note of the music.

[annabegins64]

Jim was such a special person. Thanks for making this & sharing it with us! :-)

[cne08]

Loved your tribute BobbyBenson85.

[mimuppetfan]

Very nice, I have always loved the muppets, most of all Kermit, and Ernie. Made me tear up a bit too. Always had good music. And the movies since his passing have been good just somehow not the same.

[lafk52]

I agree with you. The soul of the Muppets was Jim Henson. I miss him too.

[genbairen]

"People who like the muppets, the part who likes the muppets, is the child in them" I agree with that. I mean, anyone who likes those wonderful characters (including myself), should have a child inside themselves.

God bless Jim Henson in Heaven, and Rest in Peace.

[emilio5000]

forever missed!

[PapagenoJuan]

Wouldnt it be kool if someone made the movie about Jim Henson. If he had drama in his life, that would be the magical part. he was able to find Kermit and Fozzy and all the muppets through all the hard times in life. I think that would be pretty kool.

[kermit3001]

Mr. Henson gave the world a gift, a gift that we will forever cherish and hold dear to our hearts. RIP Jim

[stefanieelle]

I cried when he passed away and this tribute makes me feel the tears again. The muppets were such a big part of my childhood. My mom came to the US from Greece and learned to speak English watching Sesame Street. What a wonderful tribute to one of the few people who really truely made a difference in the world. Thank you.

[Rissamon]

jedinightwing, don't feel ashamed. I was in tears, too. His work was so much a part of my childhood that losing him, though he was a stranger to me, was like losing a part of my childhood.

[Cptfrancis21]

Whats the name of the song during the majority of the vid

[BobbyBenson85]

"Follow Me" from the first episode of Fraggle Rock.

[jedinightwing]

omg...this may sound stupid, but this tribute has me in tears. thank you so much.

[Gicane]

it's not stupid at all

[patybear]

Very nice! R.I.P.-Jim Henson.You are greatly loved and greatly missed!  patybear
