Just One Person - The Muppets Tribute to Jim Henson
The Muppets are planning a tribute to Jim Henson, not realising that their creator has passed away. When they discover the news, Fozzy wants to cancel the big production number, but Robin has other ideas.

On what would have been Jim Henson's 80th birthday, this is a new community dedicated to his creations.
Jim may have passed away, but his memory and his gifts to us will live on forever.




happy birthday Jim. thank you for all the joy and comfort you gave me.
He died far too young. I remember when he died.
I don't remember his death so much as remembering the Muppets and their tributes (like the one in the video above). I think that was the moment when I realised that they're more than just puppets.
me too. i was in 7th grade. i was absolutely gutted.
Yea, I was around there, too. I remember being in the middle of orchestra practice in school -- and a friend was disrespecting Jim Henson only because he could see how much it meant to me (because "friends" are great at that age).
i found out on the way to school. that year was one of my worst, i was bullied mercilessly. so i had to be stoic throughout the day, even though all i wanted to do was curl up and cry.
YES. God, I remember I'd cry myself to sleep every night and just pray that the following day at school would be okay.
aw bb:( hugs
Actually- I wonder if there's something to that. I wonder if muppets were particularly comforting to a certain portion of kids who may have been... bullied.
oh definitely, i totally see that.
