We found two copies on VHS on Ebay and purchased both (one for me and one for my mom).Īll I wanted was it on DVD so I could keep it into the future as VHS became obsolete. When we got married, Stephen and I went on the hunt to find a newer copy. I watched it each Easter and it began to get worn out.
While there, they saw a bunch of rabbits looking like they were together for a convention when a dog ran through scattering the bunnies everywhere. It had an intro by Jim Henson explaining that one day he and his daughter were out for a walk in a park.

When I was a kid there was a movie that aired on TV called The Tale Of The Bunny Picnic which we’d taped on VHS. They also have this as a postcard which I picked up as my souvenir.įinally – Fraggle Rock!!! I was sad not to see Red in person but Gobo and Mokey were amazing and then… SPROCKET!! When taken correctly, it looks like Kermit is waving to Jim while Jim is operating Kermit in a picture across the room. I took the Jim Henson Collection Tour for an extra fee and the woman who sold me my ticket suggested trying to take this shot below. This included my two favorites, Fraggles and The Tale of the Bunny Picnic. Sesame Street started in 1969 and Elmo, Cookie Monster, a Muppet I didn’t recognize, and Hoots make up the display.įrom here you move through to other Muppets and puppets. It’s BIG BIRD! He’s made of hundreds of colored turkey feathers. And you see a shadow across the wall that everyone knows.
Then… you enter a space that everyone knows. The red fur you see in the photo below at the top of the pile of fabrics is real Elmo fur! The red Muppets notebook was a replica of the original that held all the specs for every Muppet Jim created.Īs you move through you get to see the design process for creating puppets and Muppets. Some things were originals like the Kermit Lamp and the Emmys. I KNEW THE SONG! Lydia the Tattooed Lady is from an obscure cassette tape I had as a kid and I hummed it as I walked through to the next exhibit.īelow is a replica of Jim Henson’s desk. Rolf was the first Muppet you saw as you entered the exhibit, carrying a sheet of music with him. Kermit didn’t actually start as a frog, but as a lizard. Most of the exhibits are generous donations from the Henson Family. The Collection has many pieces that are rotated through so they don’t get too much light on them, wearing them out and making them spoiled for future generations. I couldn’t resist snapping a few of this amazing photographic mural. As you enter, you’re greeted by the amazing image in the photo below which leads you to all the exhibits. I was mostly at the Center of Puppetry Arts to see the Jim Henson Collection. The Center for Puppetry Arts used to be a school and the original building is still part of the Center.
