a5c7b9f00b <a href=">Jim Henson&#39;s classic Muppets put on a tribute to their creator, but also ponder the question: Who was he? To help them figure that out are some of Jim&#39;s human friends,wellsome rare clips from the Henson legacy. While <a href=">The Muppets prepare a tribute to the late <a href=">Jim Henson, they learn about the life and career of the renowned puppeteer/film maker. This is one of the saddest movies I have ever seen. Filmed after Jim Henson&#39;s death, the Muppets work to discover information about Henson so they can plan a memorial.<br/><br/>In typical Muppet fashion, the muppets have taken a difficult subject and found a way to handle it in a touching, funny, and sad way. I love this movie! He gave us the Muppet characters, from both &quot;The Muppet Show&quot; and &quot;Sesame Street.&quot; He gave us such movies&quot;The Muppet Movie,&quot; &quot;The Dark Crystal,&quot; &quot;The Labyrinth,&quot; and more. He gave us such TV shows&quot;Muppet Babies,&quot; &quot;Fraggle Rock,&quot; and more. He proved that puppets are capable of much more than we would have ever thought. Many of us know him by his name, Jim Henson. He got his start at a local TV station in Washington D.C. in 1955 and later became an icon and a phenomena. However, every icon&#39;s life has to come to an end. Jim Henson passed away in 1990.<br/><br/>In this special, the Muppets gather together to celebrate Jim Henson&#39;s life, creativity, and legacy. They and special guests - Carol Burnett, John Denver, Ray Charles, Steven Spielberg, Harry Belafonte, and Frank Ozhimself - all talk about this man.<br/><br/>It&#39;s hard to review this special; it&#39;s a tribute. I guess rather than reviewing it, I should just talk about it. It&#39;s a very inspiring and uplifting tribute. You will smile for 3 reasons: 1) The man who has redefined entertainment for a large part of you life is being honored, and you pray that he is in Heaven watching this, smiling. 2) It&#39;s the Muppets doing exactly what they&#39;ve always done. They&#39;re funny, they&#39;re silly, they&#39;re goofy; but they also have a great touching, heartfelt moment. 3) They let us know that they will still move on. They will keep releasing productions and will continue the legacy Jim Henson began.<br/><br/>I decided not to review every single Muppet TV special I&#39;ve seen, but I&#39;d be a fool not to talk about this special. It&#39;s one of those bitter sweet moments: you don&#39;t want to accept the fact that Jim Henson&#39;s gone, but you&#39;re at peace with the fact that he, his work, and his creations will always live on. We can take that and have peace at mind because of it. If you love Jim Henson and his work, you&#39;ll love this special. Take a look. BOOYIKA!
