Muppet Information

The Muppets were the brainchild of Jim Henson. He was the one who took the major credit in developing the characters on Sesame Street. Characters like big bird and oscar the grouch. But after creating Sesame Street he moved his endeavours to a show that was more muppet centric.

That show was the Muppet Show. It was a weekly show that had special guest stars every week. Characters in the show include Miss Piggy, Kermit The Frog, my favorite - The sweedish Chef and odles more. There are also many movies as well as Fraggle rock. The fraggles are also part of Jim Henson productions.

Muppets are puppets invented by Jim Henson and his colleagues. Muppets were specially designed to be on television and in the movies, using camera techniques as well as classical puppeteering techniques to create the illusion of life. The name "Muppet" comes from a combination of the words "marionette" and "puppet," and many of the puppets are hand puppets with arm-wires operated much like marionettes' limbs. However, many Muppets now include the most advanced computer and animatronics technology. "Muppet" means anything that has been created by Jim Henson Productions or the Creature Shop, including creations in Muppets Tonight!, The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, Dinosaurs, The Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth.

Jim's son Brian Henson inherited the CEO position at Jim Henson Productions. Brian has done some puppet work with the Muppets, including Dog on The Storyteller and Hoggle in Labyrinth, but he never performed any major Classic Muppet characters. He directed The Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island and performs some new characters on Muppets Tonight! These characters, including Sal and Seymour, are quickly becoming favorites, which is nice to see.
