Review of Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey (2011) by Sally S — 09 Apr 2012

The entire title of this fine documentary is "Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey." The journey of Kevin Clash is the key focus of this film. From the streets of Baltimore, from a home of extremely supportive parents, Clash marched to a very different drummer through his elementary and high school years. He was fortunate to be recognized for his talent and drive by a local television host/producer, and eventually fulfilled his dream of working in the Jim Henson Muppet organization.

How he was given the puppet Elmo to infuse with his loving and generous personality makes a wonderful ending to this fine and inspiring film. The message -- which bears repeating over and over -- follow your dream! Bravo!!!!
