Today is Jim Henson ’s seventy-fifth natal day . And in my mind , there ought to be parades to honor this man ’s legacy . Because , as a film producer and innovator , he did it all . Whether you ’re a shaver or an grownup , he touched us all . So celebration are in order .
Jim Henson ’s unbelievable life sentence ’s work and influence can be watch just about everywhere . I mean , for starters , the Muppets have a certain - to - be - unbelievable moving picture hail out before long . ( gravely . See that movie . ) But he ’s a watershed . He produce plausibly the undivided most recognizable figure of puppetry we have today . He helped make Sesame Street , the gold standard in children ’s TV . He worked with George Lucas to make Yoda , and with David fucking Bowie in Labyrinth . The man was a whale .

See , Mr. Henson and his workplace have a special place in my heart because of one Kermit the Frog . Because , in a lot of personal and passing quirky ways , I care to see a slew of Kermit in myself . Fairly straight - lace up but give to lots of barbaric , excited gesticulation in well-disposed company . But Kermit was my torpedo .
You ’ll forgive me if I tear up a little bit here .
Henson passed on May 16th , 1990 , and he ’s been sorely missed ever since . He was and is one of the many individuals who think Different . And it can not be denied . Google is live on all out today witha brand new doodlecommemorating his workplace ; it ’s a set of digital muppets that you’re able to toy around with to your heart ’s mental object . And Jim ’s son Brian was nice enough to spell a Emily Post honoring his father onGoogle ’s prescribed web log .
Now , the obvious thing to do here would be to end with a clip of something like Rainbow Connection , no ? reasonable enough . You should view that , too . It ’s really moving . But I ’m going to have you see the Muppet ’s rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody or else . Because it ’s awing . And so were you , Jim .
