Jim Henson Idea Man

(2024)Directed by Ron Howard108 min · PGDocumentary
“Never stop creating.”

Jim Henson is already building the Muppets when the documentary picks up, pulling together Frank Oz (Frank Oz), Dave Goelz (Dave Goelz), and others to shape felt into characters. The archive footage shows him in workshops sketching ideas, testing voices, always reaching for emotional depth that puppets had not achieved before. Ron Howard threads the memories of his collaborators through the footage, letting the craft and restless invention speak for themselves.
