Jim Henson Idea Man

Good Ol’ Ron Howard, out there making the safe choices, as usual. Making a loving documentary about a beloved person is about as artistically safe as it gets. But old and new interviews are insightful and the animation and playful interludes are cool. Of course, it gets meepy at the end. When the big, yellow bird who was one of your best friends as a kid sings “It’s not Easy Being Green” at Henson’s funeral. It’s an inspiring doc about an artist with an incredible legacy.
