Jim Henson Idea Man

Disney

The trailer for Jim Henson Idea Man has arrived and it looks amazing. Most of us grew up watching a Jim Henson production: from Sesame Street and The Muppets, to Labyrinth or Dark Crystal, there was something for everyone. I can't wait to watch this DisneyPlus special that goes behind the scenes of Jim's creative life.


Here's the official synopsis from Disney:

"Jim Henson Idea Man" takes us into the mind of this singular creative visionary, from his early years puppeteering on local television to the worldwide success of Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and beyond. Featuring unprecedented access to Jim's personal archives, filmmaker Ron Howard brings us a fascinating and insightful look at a complex man whose boundless imagination inspired the world.

Jim Henson Idea Man arrives on DisneyPlus on May 31st.
