Review of Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey (2011) by Dan C — 18 Mar 2012

This is a really entertaining look behind the muppet at the amazing puppeteer Kevin Clash and how he came to work with the Henson company and popularize the insanely successful Elmo.

I've always been a muppet fanboy, and it's great to hear and see some of these behind the scenes stories. While there isn't a ton of dramatic tension here, it is of course a documentary so you can view this more as a simple dream come true tale. The really great part about this documentary though isn't Kevin's story, it's getting a chance to see the muppet creation workshop and hearing some of the stories people have about personally working with Jim and Frank.

If you like the muppets this is definitely worth watching.
