It was everything I could have hoped for and more!! Well except that I wish it had been longer than its 85 minutes…because I didn’t want it to end!
The documentary chronicles the journey of Kevin Clash, the puppeteer behind Elmo, and how he never let anyone dissuade him from his dreams to work with Jim Henson.
Before Kevin, Elmo sounded like a caveman and was not a fixture on Sesame Street. But in Kevin’s hands, he became the loveable Elmo that every child in the world fell in love with. He is the voice and soul behind Elmo and they personify each other in a very magical and beautiful way.
It’s hard to describe how much this movie touched me, so go and see it for yourself…and then let me know what you think!!

Glad you guys liked it. I can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteI thought Being Elmo was 'just another Muppet film' (I love the Muppets - I just happen to love the Muppet shows better than their feature films). The trailer is great - Kevin has such an endearing personality. Thx for the tip - I'll make sure to go see it! ;-)
