Movie Magic - Jim Henson's Creature Shop

[@Lurker1979]

Jim Henson Creature shop has always been one of my favrite FX shops. Very talented people they still have under that roof.

[@thekaiser4333]

Really? What are they doing today?

[@hamursh]

@@thekaiser4333 Well they did some effects on Christopher Robin!

[@thekaiser4333]

@@hamursh - Who on earth is Christopher Robin? An ornithologist?

@@thekaiser4333 Don't you know anything?! He's the human in the Winnie the Pooh franchise!

[@mikeperry7335]

eh they lost a ton of original creativity after jim died they can and could still do great creature effects but imo couldnt ever capture that weird jim henson feel and look

[@Valkonnen]

Just as I've always thought. The person who brings light into the eyes of children and makes them smile is truly doing something divine and special. That sense of wonder that you get as a child, can follow you even into old age, and it's magical!

There's a Creature Shop in Burbank, California which is still open to this day since 1990.

"The Dark Crystal" is my favorite Jim Henson Movie

[@D00R]

This was a great show. I think it was on the discovery channel I think back in the 90s.

[@1997calvert]

This is my top 10 list of movies that Jim Henson should have lived to direct, produce and create: 1 The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) 2 The Secret Garden (1993) 3 Super Mario Bros (1993) 4 The Jungle Book (1994) 5 The Flintstones (1994) 6 The Adventures of Pinocchio (1996) 7 Muppet Treasure Island (1996) 8 Fairy Tale a True Story (1997) 9 Muppets from Space (1999) 10 The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vagus (2000)

by The time Henson died, he was done with the entertainment industry

[@hamursh]

Don't freak out! Henson's Creature Shop worked on 6 of those movies.

[@isaiahmasse1873]

@@hamursh Be quiet, He means that Jim Henson could've cheated his death to write and direct these movies he put on his list for Mr. Henson to not only write and direct but to make them better than what we've got.

This shop is building the animatronics for the FNaF movie!

[@garrettoonaddict266]

For real? They're using practical effects? That makes me feel better

[@ocuito4972]

You know that the foreign subtitles are probably a result of a rerun from another country, however if they WOULD have used English subtitles, it WOULD HAVE WORKED if they were trying to teach English as a second language! This is also the reason why this wasn't dubbed into Swedish, or at least that's what I think the language is!

The 1994 one of the final years of the pre pixar era of the disney studio.

[@MSwolfdog158]

Way back from 1980's 1990's Jim Hanson was working on United States and United Kingdom.

i wonder what the sabertoothed tiger looked like in the flintstones movie

[@BloodylocksBathory]

It was unfortunately CGI, so no Henson puppet cat for us.

[@hamursh]

@@BloodylocksBathory Although they MUST have had a Henson puppet cat to use but there were technical problems so ILM made a CGI saber tooth to save time and money! That's my theory and I'm sticking to it!

[@shadowweaver3693]

puppetry is such a lost art form and sadly so. cgi is replacing everything except the actors nowdays

[@reneastle8447]

It won't be that way for long, Dorothy. I'm planning to put together a Retro Decade Revival Project. Our goal is to bring real entertainment, true talent, pure originality and diversity, old school and more back into the public mainstream, starting with the 1980s. Puppetry will no longer become a lost art form and CGI will never replace everything.

[@isaiahmasse1873]

Bruh, Puppetry isn't that lost, someone told me that.

[@jacksparrowismydaddy]

never ending story 3 was an awful movie. but the puppets were good.
