Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey
Beloved by children of all ages around the world, Elmo is an international icon. Few people know his creator, Kevin Clash, who dreamed of working with his idol, master puppeteer Jim Henson. Displaying his creativity and talent at a young age, Kevin ultimately found a home on Sesame Street. Narrated by Whoopi Goldberg, this documentary includes rare archival footage, interviews with Frank Oz, Rosie O’Donnell, Cheryl Henson, Joan Ganz Cooney and others, and offers a behind-the-scenes look at Sesame Street and the Jim Henson Workshop.
“Who can fail to be moved by this?” (Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor)
“It is, like ‘Sesame Street,’ a captivating story for viewers of all ages. Even those unfamiliar with...Elmo will immediately fall under his spell.”
— Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
