- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for anyone looking to switch off and smile and people who love a true story told well. You'll come away knowing something you didn't. Same wavelength as Jackass: Best and Last or The Muppet Movie.
- The mood
- Light and funny, eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 54 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1970: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
Jim Henson and Rowlf the Dog explain the art and history of puppetry, and let the viewer in on some of the secrets in performing his own act, the Muppets.
