Jim Henson's Creature Shop™ Reel

[@summerjonz]

I'm happy they're able to do comedies such as The Country Bears and Earth to Ned. Most of the time they do drama.

[@k1ngk4gl3]

The fact that they brought actual puppeteering to CGI with Sid the Science Kid would probably make Jim proud. That's a hell of a clever idea they did.

[@yosefdemby8792]

He actually did that almost two decades earlier: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIGTdqqCZqaAfLM Unfortunately, that was all the character was: just an excuse to show how far the technology had come.

[@1997calvert]

@@yosefdemby8792 You know I think Brian Henson, of the Jim Henson Company, should make an attraction called The Jim Henson Creature Show at Universal Studios in 1995. Where the puppet anamatronic creatures and digital effects from the movies and TV shows, created by the Creature Shop, can perform live on stage. What do you think it would be like to see The Jim Henson Creature Show at Universal Studios, Orlanda, Florida? Please reply back ♥

[@kingrahzar9351]

The background theme reminds me of cartoon network

[@MarissaOfUnderground]

Yes, and I think that if Jim were alive today, he would have been doing a lot of what was being done now. They are continuing his legacy. And yes, digital/virtual puppets WERE in fact Jim's idea, we have Waldo C. Graphic to prove that. He came up with the idea before the first CGI feature film was even produced! Just goes to show everyone how ahead of the times he was. :)

[@DreamDancer82]

Whoa, I didn't know they did the animal effects in "George of the Jungle."

[@skunkman9815]

Well they also did the effects for the 1994 live action flintstones movie

[@CosplayCore]

@ishouldplayzelda Yeah... Jim Henson was known for his puppetry, so CG just doesn't really suit him OR his company. But the CG doesn't LOOK bad, in fact, I like the lioness character they showed on here. :) Shes very pretty. But something is amiss without the puppets when you hear or see Jim's name on a CGI movie. Labyrinth, Labou, Pinocchio and Dark Crystal FTW.

[@kulwinderkaur617]

Jim henson animal jam is my favorite TV show in 2003!

[@themysteriousspeeddemon]

kinda bummed out that they didn't show at least a clip of either TMNT 1990 or TMNT 2 secret of the ooze, but probably it's due to copyright reasons i suppose.

[@KevlarNinja]

I miss the puppets.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

But replacing the felt originals (ex: claymation Bert & Ernie)?! No, I doubt he wanted to rely solely on digital media. It's like comparing regular books from book stores to something like a Kindle. There's more magic IMO in something one can actually feel tha something created by a machine.

[@aimeeflowers9110]

Pause at 0:32 & you'll see Bozark from Animal Jam

there use to be a show were there was a alien family and a human family but i remember is the baby alien does any body know what that show was called??

[@rc100692]

I totally disagree. I love the Muppets as puppets, but Jim Henson was open to other mediums such as CGI and experimenting with it before he died. Waldo C Graphic was a computer generated Muppet that was created in 1989. A CGI Kermit was also being experimented with, but dropped because it was not yet possible. I'm not saying that the Muppets or Fraggle Rock or other existing characters should be replaced with CGI, but it is another medium that can be used for storytelling, and they can co-exist.

anyone who thinks jim would be angered by CG should remember Waldo, one of the first RC CG creatures. He was not "old school", in fact he was very much an innovator. He believed fully in the advent of HD TV, Cable Programming, Computer Graphics all before they existed and/or became mainstream. if he were around today I believe he would be doign what he always does, innovating the way stories are told without ever sacraficing the story telling itself.. he was and walways will be the master
