"The simplicity of Kermit's design allowed Henson to express more of himself through the character." I find this intriguing, similarly to the way Scott McCloud wrote that cartooning allows comic readers to identify with characters better than "photorealistic" art. Anyway, I will always remember Kermit in the swamp with his banjo, singing "The Rainbow Connection."
Wonderful review. I too love The Muppets and enjoyed the Jim Henson documentary a lot. I would even call it wholesome and inspiring. I’ll share my thoughts this weekend.

Great review! Henson is one of my favorite creatives. I know what I'm watching this weekend.
Clearly, this doc isn't a hit job, because Jim didn't deserve that.
Definitely not, and if anyone tried to do that to him, that person would probably be run out of town.

Thanks! Wholesome and inspiring are good words for it. Looking forward to your review.
