"Jim Henson: Idea Man" Trailer!
Watch the trailer below then stick around for our observations.
Not only was Jim Henson a puppeteer, but he was also interested in animation. From a sketch of Big Bird that spouts feathers, to sketches of Kermit and the Sam and Friends gang being drawn before our eyes, to an invisible force sewing / painting the original Kermit from Jim's grandmothers old coat, it looks like we're going to see his "Ideas" literally come to life.
We're going to get a peak of the world of Jim Henson's creations outside of their productions, and see how they grew into a worldwide phenomenon with toys, and being features in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade..
Not only will there be interviews with Henson's children, we'll learn how Henson's success impacted his family.
JIM!
Of course being a documentary about Jim Henson, we'll also get insights into the man himself; what his influences were, and what drove his to not give up on his dreams.
Jim Henson: Idea Man from Academy Award Winning Director Ron Howard streams May 31 on Disney+.
Muppet Stuff Blog Turns 12!
Today mark's The Muppet Stuff Blog's 12th Anniversary.
What started as a just a Facebook page has grown into a full blog, YouTube channel, collectibles store, and more.
On our YouTube channel, we aim to provide a variety of videos - all showcasing Henson collectibles, in different ways - Thrifting, Pickups, on location adventures, Unboxings, and more.
Our channel also features our appearances on other people's videos as well.
This type of collaboration is something we'd like to greatly expand upon which is why we've decide to bring back our "Show Us Your Stuff!" series. If you're not familiar, this is a show where we talk to fellow fans about their favorite items from their collections.
Do you, or a friend, like the Muppets, but like OTHER pop culture stuff as well?
Well, for fans looking for Muppet Stuff and more... we have a Mercari store that sells exactly that - Muppet Stuff and More!
The store features a wide range of collectibles features characters from Disney, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, 70s /80s / 90s shows & cartoons stars, vinyl records, and more!
For those that like to buy collectibles in person, you can also find us at Toy Shows and Conventions like FarPoint's "It's a Toy Show," The Mahoning Drive-In's Muppet Double Features, Blobfest, RetroCon, and more.
Coincidently, ToughPigs ran an article this week with a timeline of Muppet Fandom which we happy to be included in.
Tori Schmidt, who put the time line together, also runs Muppets No Context Twitter and hosts the Muppetwt Awards, The Muppies, and The Muppet Fan Hall of Fame, put out a form to nominate Muppets fans for this year's class into to the Muppet Fan Hall of Fame.Once again a big THANK YOU to everyone who liked, shared, commented, watched our videos, and read our posts over the last 12 years.
