It's time to play the music, It's time to light the lights

Jim Henson's birthday is today.

He's one of my cultural heroes.

Maybe I'll commemmorate this day by having a cookie.

Why hasn't Warren commented here?

I saw this great series of of films made by the Henson Legacy and introduced by one of his former colleagues earlier this year in January that described in great detail what it was like to be on the sets and how the teams working under Henson made and manipulated and voiced the puppets in the workshop. Also shown were some of his early commercial works, excerpts from the Storytellers series, Dog City (a short film noir featuring an all-dog gangster cast that had been released onto video only), a few of his feature-length movies, musical highlights of the Muppet Show, and his classic short film Timepiece, starring the legend himself:
