    I'm always interested in how the creative process actually works, and this is a rare treat to find that out for one of my favorite artists. Between the original sketches, artwork, notes, storyboards, actual puppets, and footage of finished skits and commercials, you get an incredible lens into the world Jim Henson created, how and why he did it, and what he thought of the world around him. And if you're my age, you also get a wonderful trip back to some of the best memories of your childhood. Collapse
