Thanks for watching! - Věda a technologie
So nice to hear someone speak with such enthusiasm and knowledge.
Agreed. It's rare these days, mostly
It's her job... She's probably told this story a million times with the exact same practiced enthusiasm.
Breathe of fresh air
@@lukecarroll4052 you sound defeated...
@THE ABSOLUTE SUPREME RULER OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE what? If you're trying to be edgy, it ain't working.
Big thumbs up for the curator. I mean the depth of her knowledge shows this show was her and her team's 'baby'. Nice to see so much passion. Inspiring show and tour.
She seemed more like she only cared about what she had to say and just wanted Adam to be quiet and listen.
TheSareus she was very knowledgeable tho
Nope. It's her job to be well-informed and prepared. She was not disruptive. Your hang-ups about women speaking are entirely your own.
@@TheSareus No way, she was feeding off of his energy too. He is clearly interested and she is telling him things he didn't know.. she's a museum curator! Everyone is having a good time.
TheSareus Dude the good job of a museum curator is to talk and share their knowledge. She paused repeatedly to listen to his feedback but she’s the expert and she was clearly feeding into Adams energy.
I love the lady's explanation about how it fitted Jim's hand. It explains how Kermit was always such a profoundly expressive puppet. Would also love to see a similar video about the Dark Crystal.
THEY FORGOT TO MENTION ELMO
its all fake
One of the key things that Muppets did differently from other puppets and especially marionettes was that they actually *treated* the felt construction as malleable, rather than just pretending it was a hinge- so rather than just flapping kermit's mouth open and shut, for instance, he would actually scrunch up his hand to convey disgust, letting the creasing of the fabric and whatnot do all of the acting for him
It’s crazy, Dave still plays Gonzo to this day. And he’s in his 70’s. Good job!
No wonder he's one of the few muppets who haven't changed! I'm so glad.
With all the other original Muppet performers either passing away or leaving the company, Goelz is really the last of the old guard. It's kind of awe-inspiring in a way.
Omg Adam is literally geeking out like a kid
If I was there even though I am a teenager I would too
Like a me
Who wouldn't be?
I love how he does that, just doesn’t care
Adam is always enthusiastic, with things that float his boat!
Physical puppets are so much more tangible on screen vs digital animations. My kids, being used to digital characters are so mesmerized by puppets. I wish there was more puppet movies again like dark crystal and labyrinth.
On top of all the things mentioned about how impressive Caroll Spinney’s Big Bird performance was, it should also be noted that his monitor wasn’t a POV, it was a feed from a stage camera so he was watching himself and judging his movements off of that.
Oh good Christ. How impossible!
Talk about 3rd person acting
I was named after Kira, from "The Dark Crystal " and his films and shows, were a huge part in my creative growth, and musical inspiration. Jim Henson is responisible for shaping and fueling millions of children's imaginations. Thank you Jim!
I named my daughter Kira too! For the same reason. She's 17 now. Hi Kira!
This Might've been two years ago, but have you seen the Netflix 'The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance' thought you may want to know if you haven't heard about it
@@thanosattorneyatlaw4062 I love it
@@thanosattorneyatlaw4062 love it
Omg my friend is also named after Kira from dark crystal!
It’s Adams’ childlike thirst for knowledge, mixed with his love of nostalgia that makes him such a fun person to watch. I hope to meet him when he comes to Memphis with Michael Stevens.
Wow, Barbara Miller is such a professional and what an abundance of knowledge !
I’d love to have a job like that!
SEE MUM MY USLESS KNOWLEDGE IS GREAT
She truly is the professional and a nice and pretty lady
I don't think I ever stopped mourning Jim Henson.
Me either! He was and will ALWAYS BE A GENUIS AND A MASTER! I have no qualms in telling you that I LITERALLY SOBBED WHEN HE DIED. Rest in peace Jim. You fans miss you still
Me Either Jim Was Not Just a Great Guy A Genius And Also A Great Legend But He Was A great Infulence For Many People as Becoming Puppeteers And That’s What Kids And Adults Alike Would Really Like To Keep Jim Henson’s Legacy Alive
Fun Fact : If Jim Henson Was Still Alive Today He Would Be 83 Years Old
RIP Jim Henson September 24th 1936 - May 16 1990
None of us have. Or ever will. But his legacy lives on, and I'll e sure it lives on through my kids as well
My very first drawing as a toddler was of Ernie and it shocked my mom, because she could tell who it was. I grew up in the 80s and early 90s so I was all about sesame street and the muppets . I even remember watching the muppet babies on Saturday mornings! As a mom now it's been delightful sharing Jim Henson with my kids .
This makes my heart super happy! Which is exactly what I needed after watching Big Bird sing at Jim Henson's funeral due to a CZcams algorithm. I was totally crying my eyes out but then this popped up and I feel much better. I need to check this place out. The magic of Jim Henson is strong and I can't wait to experience it in person. "Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me!"
Me too
Oh my goodness they molded Frank Oz's hands for the Swedish Chef! That is just awesome. The whole exhibit looks amazing and it's wonderful to see it through Adam's eyes with his joy and excitement.
Makes it so much more personal.
Can we turn this into Night at the Museum?!
Oh man, now i got that "fraggle rock song" in my head again **bashes head into table smiling** ;)
THEY CAN COME TO LIFE, THEN WE CAN MEET THEM....
genius.
thatd actually be a funny movie!!!
That would be the greatest creation ever
Best idea ever!!!!
Mr. Henson and his team: innovators, inventors educators and entertainers. They enriched our childhoods!
I feel Walt Disney and Jim Henson are the two people that impacted most people’s lives forever and have legacies that’ll last for many years to come.
And now the Walt Disney Company is stomping all over their legacy.
@@WesTheHunter YES and Disney isn't stopping there. They've destroyed George Lucas' legacy, Stan Lee's legacies, as well! It shows that their "creativity" is GONE! They buy and suck the money and life out of EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT/LEGACY/FRANCHISE they get!
@@EdsterIII I must say The Special Editions were Lucas' idea so he technically damaged his own legacy, The original trilogy was only so good because so many people poured their life and soul into it.
Where as the prequels were all lucas, not that they were bad at all.
@@WesTheHunter Wrong.
@@monotech20.14 That Walt Disney is destroying everything.
Or the Special Editions weren't Lucas' Idea ?
Fun fact...For The Dark Crystal they used make up artist Dick Smith left hand for reference when they were sculpting the Skeksies hands. This was due to the fact that Dick had lost his left ring finger in an accident and had to have the entire bone removed all the way up to his wrist, this resulted in him only having three fingers and a thumb just like the Skeksies.
Wow! Never knew that, nor that hand bones were ever amputated like that - thanks. I wonder whether Dick's accident was work-related, and I wonder how much trouble the missing finger gave him when doing makeup.
Gelfling have 4 fingers too
queenmedesa not human size hands though
I love watching Adam get all giddy about this. His passion is so contagious
Thank you Adam, Tested, and Museum of the Moving Image for allowing those who can't make it to the exhibition to get such a great tour of it!
this is a prime example of why I enjoy Adam savage's videos. he's so excited to be learning and hearing about something that he and another person have a common interest in, the passion and excitement from everyone involved shines through in videos like this and just show the love that creators have for their productions. just like what Jim did with his own productions, which seems very fitting
Life is like a movie, write your own ending.
Keep believing. Keep pretending.
We've done just what we set out to do.
Thanks to the lovers, the dreamers, and you.
Jamie Kernc thats an awsome quote man .
Ahoyhoy there, fellow CZcamsrino! That statement brought eye perspiration to my viewing apparatti.
The bee movie
Nice...
Here’s to the fools who dream
I absolutely love watching Adam get so giddy and excited about things! :)
Geeksmithing yeah, that and this is a really important "thing" for anyone in the creative industry, Jim Henson is a Legend and anyone should feel honored and in amazement walking through this exhibition. Truly amazing seeing what those people did.
Definitely the best part about watching Adam's tours. I really feel like he is genuinely amazed and interested in everything.
I'd like to see his reaction to classical art, a visit to a famous collection.
Geeksmithing dhyyftyggyretruytrtdfhtygyyf
Clark Tabb profound
So happy the new upcoming Dark Crystal series is full with puppets
Adams is like a kid in a candy store, so wholesome! I have a new appreciation for childhood shows
Jim Henson's death is one of the saddest moment of my childhood. I remember parts of his memorial service. And how the Muppet Show addressed Jim's passing is something that is often rare, even in today's shows. Hearing Fozzie Bear reading the fan mail, and after a few letters he and the rest of the caste come to realize that Jim had passed away. Fozzie wanted to stop the show, but Robin tries to convince to continue the show. Kermit who had been out of all of the episode appeared (now puppeteer by Jim's understudy Steve Whitmire) came in told them how nice the song was, and if they had something silly to end on. And for the show to continue 'cause that's the way Jim wanted it.
Charles Williamson loved that tribute video
Your forgetting the best part when all of the sesame street puppets come in for the last courses
That photo of Kermit grieving makes me sadder than any photo of a human. I’m now crying just because I imagined it 😂😢💔
I remember how they officially he died like yesterday. I was recording and going to watch... "Sing, sesame street remembers Joe Raposo".even though I was a collage student. Before the show starts an a black screen those words. "We regret to inform you..." I shock I read those words and ran from the room crying. I had found out my first hero was dying( my father) and to lose Jim a hero and the creator of my first love (kermit).
Thank you for sharing. My grandfather was a professional photographer and took professional black and white portfolio head shots of a few of the puppets, including of course, Kermit. I think this was back in the late 70's or early 80's. I remember him telling me how much fun he had working on the project and how surprised he was at the puppet construction.
Steven Kamradt Ahoyhoy There, fellow CZcamsrino. Congratulations. That's neat, I love the nineteen eighties. I also love the Jim Henson puppets, including Dinosaurs and ALF.
@Groenfan sounds like Wilson from Home Improvement!!!
It looks like Jim Henson’s tribute is in good hands. As an Australian kid I also grew up watching the Muppets in the 80’s and 90’s.
Me too, and I 'm from Spain
its always nice to see a man who changed the world through peace given the respect he rightfully earned. but never demanded having
I noticed the Jareth costume still has The Bulge.
Lol. Yes. Nice to see the ol' codpiece is still in its proper place.
+Mr.SmothGNR Smith projecting your own desires again m8? no shame in that but stand up to it ;)
I was actually looking for this very comment when I scrolled down.
😁
That's the most off putting thing in the labyrinth.
I like that you had to capitalize “The Bulge”
Statler: You know this place isn't that bad. Though there is one thing missing
Waldorf: What is that?
Statler: Taste.
"DOHOHOHOHOHOHOohohoh"
Qardo that would've been a hilarious ending.
Statler: You know they call this show Tested.
Waldorf: Tested for what?
Statler: Not comedy I can tell you that much.
DOHOHOHOHOHOHOH
Thank you for crediting Lew Grade. He saw the potential that no one else did. Bless both Jim and Lew for giving us characters who are so important to so many.
hes about to add freddy fazbear 💀
The Goblin king's costume from Labyrinth!
*_Complete with David Bowie crotch bulge!_*
I was just about to say that lol
Seeing that in person was a joy. I laughed when I realized they included the bulge. XD
It wouldn’t be the iconic costume without the bulge 😂😂
It's sad, but the best example of the two sets of people Jim created was at his memorial service, especially when the performers and muppets sing his favorite songs. On stage, there are about 15 humans, and 40 people. It's amazing.
1976, I was 6 yrs old. I loved the Muppet Show. It's sad to see these iconic Muppets that were a main part of my childhood no longer in operation.
And also the technology Jim Henson used in The Dark Crystal.
Transferred over to the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park...
So yeah he was an innovator beyond belief.
Not to mention it was Jim that suggested to Lucas that Frank Oz should be the one to perform and voice Yoda in ESB. After declinig the role himself due to schedule.
When will Adam do a Big Bird costume to walk around a convention? That would be cool.
🤯 it's all different now
I really miss the competitive show, "Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge" that was on SyFy Channel a few years ago. It was one of the highest rated shows they had, but when SyFy wanted to renew it, they only offered something like 1/4 of the price they paid for the first season.
That show was great. I ended up making a 12 foot long dinosaur complete with animatronics.
I loved that show, too! I forget about it until I read this comment XD
That show was amazing. I was completely blown away at all the work they put into bringing the characters to life and all the different skills and knowledge they had to have to create them: Costume making, engineering, electronics, etc and puppeteering! I'm a big fan of Face Off where they create characters mainly involving sculpting masks and doing makeups but this is a whole other level. I was so disappointing there weren't more seasons.
I so desperately wanted more. I would pay to watch a second season.
The skeksis they made there were great !
I'm in tears! Between the memories, seeing how these wonderful characters were operated, Adam's excitement... I am bawling my eyes out!
Everything is cool,but the fact that Jim Hensons crew brought the Ninja Turtles to the big screen and for that I am forever grateful.
The Muppet Show and Fraggle Rock will always be some of the fondest memories of my childhood.
Kithanalane yep
I wish they had focused a bit on the characters Jim made for Fraggle Rock, namely Cantus and Travelin' Matt Fraggle. Heck, they should do a revisit of the whole series and characters.
If I'm ever in New York again, I've got to visit this museum!
+SSobotkaJr I always go to new york
Mine too , and the storyteller , that was a wonderful series

When I saw the Muppet Show sign the intro immediately infected my head. What a great show that was. We need something like that again.
Adam, would just like to say thank you for this video. I know that at my age(70) I could never get to see such an exhibition because I live in UK, to see this knowing you grew up with it and I remember it very fondly and Fraggle rock and my wife loved the Muppet film of Christmas carol. Totally brilliant work done by Jim and Frank to keep us entertained.
I got misty eyed. Jim's work -was- is truly magic
René Jiménez wonderful comment!
Yet another video that captivates and just pulls the viewer right into Adam's journey and mind. Watching Adam, hearing the enthusiasm and the vast knowledge he offers has made fans like myself fall in love with everything he does.
I mean he's knowledgeable but he didn't know Kermit got started in the 50s....I thought it was common knowledge. He was on Sam and friends and he lip synched songs and wore a wig sometimes...and got eaten by a shaggy looking monster. Fun fact, Kermit was first made out of Jim's mom's coat. Also I don't think he was green til Jim decided he was gonna be a frog. He may've been blue.
Jim taught me everything I need to know about being Human. Thank you Jim. A kid from the 60’s...
Fantastic personal tour. She is so alive with the spirit of Jim Henson, it's incredible.
If Jim Henson could have lived into the age of CGI, I think we would've had a better merger of puppetry and CGI, but without Jim, CGI has run rampant.
I think his son did a great blend the two in Happy Time Murders.
As much as the CGI muppet Waldo sucked, the idea of real-time puppeteering of a CG character with your HANDS was both ahead of its time and sorely underutilized today. There's a lot of mocap, sure, but there's very little mocap-puppetry actually working facial features or other things with people's hands.
If Jim has lasted longer, Mirrormask might have been a masterpiece of blending CGI and puppetry instead of being an over the top CGI mess.
Curiously, in 1999 the movie The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland was released. which contained elements with muppets and CGI effects.
The Thing 2011 would have been 10x better. That CGI was atrocious.
I am so honored that I got to be one of the crowdfunders for this incredible project! Although small, I hope I was able to help in some way! Kermit is my spirit animal!
jeommy kin Thanks! I was in the hospital a lot when I was little and between Kermit & the Muppets and Reading Rainbow.. it got me through a lot of boring days/months! Plus Kermit reminds me of my dad! 😄😄😄 I kinda owed it to Jim Henson to help in any little way I could!
thank you so much for making this exhibit a reality.... I grew up in Manila watching Sesame Street & The Muppet Show. MABUHAY!
Thank you.
I’m so thrilled to have found Tested. I’m late to the game, but I’ll be binging all of the content. Adam is absolutely delightful.
The Dark Crystal piece is out of this world!!! Incredibly gorgeous!
Love the Skeksis!
@@queenmedesa Have you ever seen Jim Henson's Animal Jam?
@@UnicornFairy42 no
@@queenmedesa Well, my curious CZcamsr, Animal Jam is a television show produced by the Jim Henson Company in 2003. The show is a wild, music-driven, live-action dance show designed to be "interactive," and encourages viewers to get up and dance along with the characters. The show is hosted by Muppet characters Edi and Waffle.
The show premiered on the TLC Network on February 24, 2003, and then moved to the Discovery Kids channel on March 3rd of the same year. Thirty episodes were produced, and several have been released on DVD. The show also aired on Australian Broadcasting Corporation in Australia.
Format
Animal Jam uses real-life kids and puppet characters to teach movement and physical skills. Animal Jam hosts, Edi and Waffle, speak directly to the viewers at home and gets them physical active. The episodes consist of several physical themes including walking, flexibility, personal space, balance, jumping, marching, and physical expression. Each episodes has original songs followed by real animal footage that inspire dances and recurring games songs that viewers must follow along with.
I'm a simple man, I see Muppets and Adam Savage, I like
Yup. If Adam had been of working age in Jim's time, instead of Mythbusters, we might have known him as one of the best puppeteers of our age. (Oh glorius what-ifs)
Simply wonderful.
Yes
Simply wenderful
@10:16 Savage Total Respect Meltdown
Just got done watching Defunctland’s series on Jim Henson, it is amazing to see what he did for the entertainment industry.
I love how genuinely excited Adam is about seeing these things. Exactly how any true fan/geek would be.
I wish there was a LOVE button on CZcams! This was a fantastic tour of such a wonderful exhibit!!
Adam's excitement was super contagious. I already love Jim Henson, but the enthusiasm made it even better. I love seeing other people who adore what they are getting to do!
Adam, thank you so much for reviewing this exhibit. I can see Jim’s works are as much an inspiration to you as they are to me. Most grateful.
Beautiful!!! Thank you Adam for presenting this. I'm not sure I could make it through this exhibit without bursting into tears.
I know I wouldn't... I was crying just watching this, being there vicariously, in a way.
I was misty-eyed for the first 20 minutes but then I lost it when they showed Sarah's and Jareth's costumes. Although I do wish they had Sarah's princess ball gown instead.
same. i wonder where it is
This vlog brought back sooo many memories of my childhood. Sometimes you see something like this and when you are young you don't realize how much time and technology and love that was put into making it all. Thank you Adam for sharing this magic with us
There is also a small museum in Leland, MS where he grew up as a child. It is very interesting as well. Jim Henson has always fascinated me. I'm still amazed at the art and skill to make an object truly come to life.
Jim Hensons vision spans generations of people. His movies and shows are a cherrished parts of so many childhoods.
Back in the 80s there was a program for the Mac (an ‘INIT’ if you know what that was) that would hack the Finder so that whenever you dragged a file to the trash can, Oscar would pop up and sing “I love trash!”... fun times... 😜
YES! I was a student aide and ran the Mac lab in high school, and installed that on every computer we had. Didn't tell anyone about it. The next day after a few kids discovered it, the news ran like wildfire and soon everyone in the school was talking about it. A couple of Special Ed. kids spend their whole hour in the lab just creating folders and deleting them just to see Oscar. That's all you could hear coming out of the lab for the next few weeks... "Oh, I love traaaash!"
My moms computer said "hello clarice" when it booted up and when she shut it down cartman would say "screw you guys, im going home." Good times.
Feral Magick - oh, so THAT’s where she drew the line! 😜
I've said this before, but it's high time Adam builds himself a legit BigBird costume for Adam Incognito.
Oh Lord, Sesame Street, The Muppet Christmas Carol, The Muppet Show, and Muppet Babies.....my childhood! Gonzo and Miss Piggy were my faves!
Then Dark Crystal and Labriynth were AMAZING!!
I loved everything Henson put out. I never missed a Fraggle episode and actually bought the DVD set last year. I saw The Dark Crystal in the theatre and it was the most awesome thing I saw. and to this day I still watch Labyrinth at least once a year. I think I have three copies of it on DVD.
Edit: I forgot to mention that my brother couldn't watch The Dark Crystal because the Skeksis scarred the crap out of him.
I have two DVD copies of both Labyrinth and Dark Crystal, and videotapes
"Puppets that he had on hand" well done there too
I wish there was a little more on the original Ninja Turtles animatronics. Didn't Jim himself say those were the most advanced rigs he ever designed?
Yep and they all were mostly destroyed in one of the backlot floods in Florida as I recall so you won't be seeing any of those puppets.
Plus some parts of the animatronics were sold online. The show "Totally Obsessed" has a woman who bought two animatronic heads of Leonardo and Michelangelo.
I really want to visit that muesum someday before I die.
The world still misses you Jim, please rest in peace forever more.
I love the bear in a big blue house

Who are the 10 heartless souls that disliked this?
WikdSeafood The (now) 30 people running the Muppets division at Disney, the ones responsible for firing Steve Whitmire. They crap all over Henson's legacy, sad to say.
I️ would have to be carried out of this exhibit. It was by far the best part of my childhood, and now my kids’ too.
Oh gosh, I wish I could just crawl through the screen and wander around that museum...wish I could go up to New York to see it.
Wow, this woman is fantastic and amazingly patient, AMAZINGLY patient.
You can really feel Adam's excitement and fascination with the history and mechanics of what Jim and his team have created. What a joy this was to watch. Thanks.
Although I haven't watched a whole ton of these shows, seeing the exhibit being explained and toured in such an enthusiastic and joyful manner is incredibly interesting and amazing, and seeing Adam getting so enthusiastic and giddy with excitement is truly amazing and so interesting to see!
Man that is so awesome! We all grew up watching the muppets show! And now to be able to admire Jim Henson work, is so cool!
My brother and I had several of the early 1970's Nickerbocker Sesame Street hand puppets when we were growing up. We would do our own puppet shows with Bert and Ernie for our parents and when friends and distant relatives would periodically come to visit. My brother and I would also tàlk as Bert and Ernie at the dinner table. Impersonating those characters were one of the rare times we actually got along.
Guys...Rowlf. Not Ralph.
Thank you! In light of her genuine depth of knowledge, that mispronunciation really bothered me. Very big difference.
Seriously!!! That was making me wanna scream. I was hoping Adam would correct her haha
Your profile picture is amazing
I'd like to think that Jim Henson would be cool with both pronunciations
@@jeffnicholas6342 You're probably right, Jerf ;)
Jim Henson truly is a legend! Seeing how he breaks the mold and innovates this craft further gives me the inspiration to experiment with the puppets of my own!
Thanks, man! I've always loved the Muppets since I was a kid. I went to that Jim Henson exhibit in Albuquerque anyway. And may I add that The Muppet Show has always been my favorite TV show for as long as I can remember.
The deaths of Henson and Mercury hit me hard when I was young. Henson still inspires me so so much. Thank you for this Adam and crew. I love geeking out on all your videos but this one really got to my heart.
PLEASE RELEASE ALL THE MUPPET SHOW EPISODES ON DVD!!!!!! They only released 1-3.
Peter O'Brien ifkr!!! Its ticking me off. Well I have an android box so I'm good
The like button is not enough to express how much I enjoyed this video. :D
Amen to that!!!
I grew up watching Sesame street and just knew that Jim passed away years ago. We don't have the same innocence now like before. The modern era is all about adult stuff. I hope we can have more of these shows. And teach children to be themselves and enjoy their time while they are young. These are happy memories.
there could never be enough respect given to jim henson for the amazing feats he gave to children worldwide!!! truly a remarkable human being. an accomplishment beyond words! i am in awe!
Did Adam just unironically say "achievement unlocked"?
I adore Jim Henson's imagination and work. The Swedish Chef is my favorite. I even dress as him a couple times a year for my Cub Scouts to get them motivated. Thanks for sharing this.
There is a magical generations of adults that light up around the Muppets. They really were the moral compass for us. As much as the Production company kept going after Jim died, the generations today don’t feel the love and the teachings like we did. I fully believe this is the reason the newer generation is lost. We were lucky to grow up with Kermit. Even the Muppet show is in our DNA. Muppets Christmas Carol is THE greatest Christmas movie ever!!
I've never watched the muppets or sesame street... but I have watched this 3 times now! Adam's excited energy is so infectious, he truly looks like his childhood dreams are coming true!
Big thanks for making and posting this video. Jim Henson was a huge part of my childhood. This does such a good job celebrating & exploring his work. I hope I get a chance to see this exhibit at some point.
I love Adam's excitement and giddiness. I would be the same way.
It was wonderful to see Adam starstruck by all the amazing Jim Henson displays.... ❤
It's fun to watch Adam just freaking out in excitement over seeing these things!
I wish I could go to this 😭😖
I love Jim Henson so much it makes me cry
Jim Henson was a genius..great man
This is just wonderful. Bless Jim Henson, what a legacy
