Jim was still in good health at this time but unfortunately it would be only a little more than a month later that he left us all

Teenage mutant ninja turtles was probably Jim Henson’s best work. Despite not being a fan of the film, he pushed the envelope when it came to puppeteering and animatronics.

This is so sad to watch, on top of the fact that if you listen to his voice - you can just hear the bright and happy tone of Kermit and to think he’d be unfortunately gone soon after. RIP Jim.
