"Things calmed down for the final number which Belafonte wrote (with Robert Friedman) especially for the show, “Turn the World Around.” The theme of becoming engaged and making a difference jibed well with Jim’s efforts to make the world a better place. The Henson workshop designed a new group of characters based on African masks specifically for this performance. With Belafonte’s insistence on authenticity, the staff did extensive research on African art to use as the basis for their designs. The singer was pleased and the performance has become a classic Muppet moment watched repeatedly by fans of both Jim’s characters and Belafonte."

The Johnny Carson YouTube channel uploaded a rare clip of Jim Henson and The Muppets promoting The Muppet Show.
First Adam Savage posted a video from his trip to the Henson company and learned Adam how the Muppets come to life, then he got a lesson on the Henson Digital Puppetry System, and now he's back with a look at how full bodies characters work.
While Adam has some experience with full body puppets (Totoro, Revenant Bear), his costumes weren't made to wear for hours on end, nor did they include heavy animatronics. At Jim Henson's Creature shop, creative supervisor Peter Brooke takes Adam through the designing and building of Junior Gorg from Fraggle Rock, while performer Morgana Ignis demonstrates how to bring the beloved character to life!
Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem have now released the full music video for their new song "Rock On."
British GQ enlisted Kermit for an episode of 10 Essentials.
Bringing Henson Home to Maryland
With his gently subversive humor, restless curiosity, and innovative approach to puppetry, Henson built the Muppets into an enduring international brand, contributed beloved puppet characters to Sesame Street, and made movies that applied his vivid imagination to stories for the big screen. This exhibition explores Henson’s unique contributions to the moving image, and how he and a talented team of designers, performers, and writers created an unparalleled body of work that continues to delight and inspire people of all ages.
MCHC is proud to call Jim Henson a Marylander, and we are proud to help bring Jim Henson home to Maryland.

Award-winning global production company, Marblemedia, and The Jim Henson Company are partnering again on the original scripted comedy series, Felix (10×30), which will break new ground by debunking the stereotypes and stigmatization around neurodiversity and mental health challenges among children.
Created by Miklos Perlus, and inspired by his neurodivergent son, Felix is a live action comedy about a boy, his family, and his “feels” – five original characters to be created by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop™ that manifest his larger-than-life emotions. They live in his house; they follow him to school; they eat all the good snacks; they’re like the worst pets ever. And now that Felix attends a school for neurodivergent kids like him, he’s finally learning how to live with his very real emotions.
“For generations, the art of puppetry has helped us process our thoughts and feelings. By authentically depicting the nuanced and complex ways that neurodivergent children experience the world, Felix will use comedy and a cast of original hilarious characters to introduce audiences to new ways of thinking, reducing the stigma around mental health and inspiring families to improve their own communication,” said Halle Stanford, President of Television for The Jim Henson Company.
No word on a release date or network/ streaming service, but we'll keep you posted.
