Guys, thanks as always for watching! Let me know in the comments below what you think of Jim Henson!

I remember watching a docu series by Defunctland, here on KZbin. It taught me a lot about Henson. With their access to behind the scenes stuff, I bet I could learn a lot more.

If anything, Defunctland should've made this doc!
