Happy Birthday Jim Henson.

Today would have been Jim Henson's 70th birthday.

So in honor of that, tell me your favorite moment of Muppets or Henson's work in general.

I am grateful that I got to meet Jim Henson

Well, I was never a big fan of Sesame Street, but I *loved* Fraggle Rock like no other show until Rainbow Brite came out, so... I liked the bard character that Jim Henson actually played himself in one of those FR episodes. I'm a musician today probably because of that character and Ariel, the Little Mermaid. So, Jim Henson will always be special to me--and I can't wait to have kids and have them watch Fraggles.

Cantus the Minstrel which was a wonderful character.

You do know that they are in pre-production for a Fraggle Rock movie?

O_o? Really? I'm a little bit scared--who's behind it?

*goes off to look around*

Well Brian for one and he worked on that show with his dad.

And the voices are the same for the most part. Only if the person is dead did they have to find someone else.
