Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for a family movie night and anyone who loves a strong drama. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too. Sits nicely alongside The Secret Life of Bees.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Paced for all ages, at 4 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Made in 1965: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want something with an edge.

RUN, RUN, a polished live-action effort shot by Jim Henson and Frank Oz in Greenwich, CT in October 1965, is a visualization of the joys of childhood and the wonder of nature. In the short, Jim’s daughters run freely through woods saturated by the colors of autumn into the warm embrace of their mother. The action is underscored by Joe Raposo’s lilting music, giving a sense of visual poetry.
