We're Going to Go Back There Someday
Another behind the scenes look at The Muppets… Again!
Song A Day:
Life’s A Happy Song -The Muppets CastI’ve got everything that I need
Right in front of me
Nothing’s stopping me
Nothing that I can’t be
With you right here next to me

I love that there is a blog dedicated to the muppets. They symbolized so much of my childhood and they are one of those beautiful things which can have meaning to all ages. I went to the most recent muppet movie with my younger cousins (around 5 and 6) and I thought it would be fun and nostalgic, but when kermit started singing rainbow connection I surprised myself by starting to cry in the theater! Thank you for appreciating what the muppets mean
Well thank you so much for this.
I think that Jim Henson played an important part in most people’s childhoods - whether it was through Muppet productions, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, Dinosaurs, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, and the list goes on.
But the Muppets really do have a special place in all our hearts. Even though we’re older now there still so much we can take away from their movies and their television programs. That’s wonderful to hear that the newest Muppet film moved you so much, I know it did for me as well.
Again, thank you so much for your lovely comment!
I’m spending the afternoon curled up on my bed watching The Muppet Movie - and later tonight I’m gonna watch The Great Muppet Caper and The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson - in honor of Jim’s passing. I’m also wearing my Kermit-Geek shirt.
Anyone else doing something special to remember Jim today?
Grab your tissues, guys, cause you’re not getting away from this video without crying buckets of tears.
I always credit this video as to what first turned me on to the Muppets - outside of my childhood adoration for them. I was surfing youtube looking at random Muppet clips when I stumbled across this video, and by the end of it I was in tears. I then spent the rest of the day looking up everything about Jim, which eventually led to this devotion to all things Jim Henson.
But this video. Christ, this video. There is so much love and heartbreak and wonderfulness found in this video. It’s heart wrenching, yes, but it’s just so beautiful how all of the muppets come together, because that’s what Jim would have wanted. Then when Kermit comes through the door at the end… ugh, I’m not even watching it right now and already I’m tearing up.
Bless you, Jim Henson.
