Review of Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey (2011) by Jared M — 03 May 2012

The story of Kevin Clash and the wonder known as Elmo is shown with painstaking detail, love, and care in this short but sweet documentary. To be able to meet that man who gives Elmo life and through this gives millions of kids happiness is such a treat. One thing that resonated with me a lot is that we are watching what may be the most literal interpretation of the American Dream in the modern era. Clash came from nothing with the dream of being successful, and in doing so has become one of the most influential people in the world - yet no one knows who he is.

Watch this movie, and you will find out what a wonderful man he is.

One of the best documentaries in recent years and an amazing story that everyone should find time to experience.
