The Magic of Jim Henson Revealed in New Documentary: Jim Henson Idea Man
From the visionary mind of Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ron Howard, “Jim Henson Idea Man” promises to take us on a journey into the imagination of one of the greatest creative minds of our time. From his humble beginnings in puppeteering on local television to the global phenomenon of Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, Henson’s influence on entertainment cannot be overstated. Set to debut on May 31st, “Jim Henson Idea Man” is not just a documentary, but a celebration of the man’s legacy.
Though Jim Henson left us too soon in 1990, his spirit lives on through his works, continuing to captivate audiences of all ages. And for those fortunate enough to have crossed paths with him, like puppeteer Mike Quinn who learned directly from Henson himself, the memory of his kindness and creativity remains a cherished treasure.
I still recall the very special evening my girlfriend and I spent chatting with Mike Quinn at a local convention a few years ago. As we sat with our drinks, he shared stories of learning from Jim Henson, vividly portraying Henson’s incredible character and love for his craft. Hearing firsthand accounts from someone who shared moments with such a legend was an experience I’ll never forget.
