As a puppeteer, he created such indelible characters as Kermit the Frog, Rowlf the Dog, Ernie, and the Swedish Chef. This compilation illuminates the development and evolution of these classic characters – and many more.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
