DefunctTV: The Final Jim Henson Hour

0:11 boss: I said work!!! Codey: awwwwwww.

I love Jim Henson I was born in the 70’s and raised in the 80’s on Sesame Street on PBS. My two favorite movies are Labyrinth and the Dark Crystal. Casting Bowie as Jareth was genius. Watching that movie as a kid made me appreciate David Bowie as a musician and an artist, so much so that when I turned 18 I trekked 6 hours to Austin Tx to watch him in concert, my first concert I ever attended.

Well that was a good cry to end off the day *sniffles*; Thank you it was fun learning about Jim Henson and the Muppets!

Man, screw you, I just wanted to watch a Jim Henson documentary and now I'm barely holding it together.
Great series of videos

It’s ironic, Jim made all those projects during the final years of his life, he tried to tell all the stories he could, leave as much of a legacy as he could, when the one thing that would do it was there all along, Kermit.

Thanks for making me cry. You knew what you were doing playing all those song clips from the memorial

Don’t watch this while at the gym.
I’m crying horribly

the fact that i’m assuming you puzzle pieced all of this in a way that was supportive of the initially muppet show pilot (sex and violence) and jim henson hour is gorgeous and i’m throwing up and crying

It just hit me: I would KILL for Defunctland to make another one of these biographical miniseries on the life and career of Michael Eisner! There’s just SO MUCH to say about his extremely mixed legacy. He’s been an omnipresent force and a running joke for all of Defunctland’s existence, so it would be interesting to finally take a deep dive into his rise and fall. Granted, we sort of got a resolution to his story in the Hong Kong Disneyland video, but I think it would be immensely more satisfying to see the full picture.

Rewatched this series because of the new pilot. What an inspiration. Maybe I need to to get some optimism too😊

I'm back watching this because of the new trailer for the upcoming Muppet Show special, just want a reminder of Jim's passion to hope for the future of these goofy characters.

Thanks Kevin. I saw this one a long time ago, when it first uploaded, and I really needed it just now.

I always cry at this since the day it came out. Thank you Kevin and the rest of the team.

Every time I hear about this katzenberg guy, I like him a little bit less 😂

I will always remember watching Ironmouse's reaction to these documentaries (Unfortunately the vod is deleted on YouTube because of copyright) but man, she was shocked that Jim was coughing up blood and told her chat "Guys, if you ever feel ill, see a doctor. Don't hold off on it until its too late" and the moment Gonzo says "We were just starting to get to know him…" after everyone realizes Jim passed away, her reaction was "OMG… they aired this on TV? 😢"

So glad I got to share this Earth with Jim Henson, even if it was only for 16 days.

Not going to lie this made me mad a Disney instead of understanding these are his characters his story they kept push and pushing they should have respected his wishes and they should have kept muppets 3D so many people told them that his was a bad idea they should be kept the muppets alive like Jim would have wanted instead they get rid of one of his last projects and say oh will make a roller coaster if they make anything they should make the great muppet movie ride they have the drawing Jim made but still they should have let muppet courtyard alone and just build monster Inc land or whatever were rock and rollercoster is

I'm not crying! You are!

this video reignited my anger towards disney for removing muppet*vision 3d. not only was it henson's last project, it was also hunt's last project. i'm so glad i was able to see it in october last year, it was amazing, and i'm so sad that no one will be able to experience it again

I started with learning about one of my favorite shows, Fraggle Rock, followed through with learning about Muppet Babies, and landed here to only end up in tears 😢.

Thank you so much for creating these video's ❤. I started to break when Big Bird walked out and couldn't stop tearing up as the show continued.

To be in that Cathedral with so much talent and love. Just Wow…what a tribute. When it's my time, I can only pray that I touch peoples lives in the same way. ❤ That was really something to watch ❤.

God dam you making me cry over a man i never knew.

A million thumbs up.
