    People often say that seeing Henson's secrets ruin the magic, but not to me. I love the tech behind this. And very complicated too. it shows how hard work makes the magic work.

      Do they? I've always heard the OPPOSITE, in that the magic that might've been ruined in any other circumstance just... ISN'T when Henson's walking through it with us. I've more often heard interviewers joke about whenever they're talking to Kermit, they totally believe that he's real despite Henson being in plain view, propping him up. lol

    The way that those little Toddlers look at Kermit says it all. He brought dreams to life and made children smile. Not only that, but Sesame Street taught wonderful lessons to kids who may have been in a small town. The neighbors in that neighborhood came in all colors, just like in NYC adn kids saw that because someone is different than they are, that it has nothing to do with the kind of person they are. I learned everything that I live by from Mister Rogers, Sesame Street and The Electric Company.

He gives us a little tour around the shop, we see him building more simplistic toys, more high-tech toys, he answers some questions about how his operation is run... and the magic is still completely in tact, because Jim Friggin' Henson. lol

The workshop is now located in Queens, not far from Kaufman Astoria Studios campus, where SESAME STREET and shows like ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK have been produced.

    It's so interesting to see how this sort of puppet technology evolved and developed Big Bird on Sesame Street to the Gorgs on Fraggle Rock Sid The Science Kid.

      He loved computer animation. He went in depth behind the scenes about matting and chroma Key effects they would use on the Jim Henson Hour and Fraggle Rock whenever they had to use blue screen. It had to be a particular shade of blue of course so that Gonzo didn't disappear on camera. He was fascinated with the fact that one could make anything happen in a computer
