	JIM HENSON'S THE STORYTELLER - THE COMPLETE COLLECTION DVD
		For the span of nine delirious, enchanted episodes, "The Storyteller", Jim Henson's too-brief foray into mature anthology fantasy television, is gorgeous for its faithfulness to its mythic source material.
		Although the show's longevity was certainly not helped by Henson's hard-to-shake reputation as the benevolent primogenitor of "Sesame Street" and "The Muppet Show", looking closer at Henson's twin, sterling blue masterpieces The Muppet Movie and The Dark Crystal reveals an artist steeped in a tradition of stung, existential melancholy.
		While the key to the episode is a huge Griffin Muppet animated, in part, by Henson's son Brian, the humour of its spoiled prissiness is offset by a melancholy subplot involving a doomed ferryman played with convincing dourness by veteran character actor Robert Eddison.

		Jim Henson is perhaps best known as the creator of The Muppets, the merry band of fuzzy creatures featured on the wild, wacky syndicated series The Muppet Show and in countless silly but touching theatrical movies.
		Sometimes several folktales are put together in order to flesh out the story for television, but the goal is to always remain true to the source material.
		Inside the fold, there is a two page spread on "The Soldier and Death" and "A Story Short." Several paragraphs delving into the background of the episodes are paired with behind the scenes photos and sketches.

		Shortly after that, Heather Henson arranged for a Kermit to be sent to me in Atlanta, so that I could fiddle around with it for a little bit.
		He was standing next to me. It wasn’t on Kermit, it was on Jim… It was all this stuff of Jim’s face while he was performing Kermit.

		Jim Henson's The Storyteller is a book to enchant readers of all ages--inspired by the beloved guiding genius of Muppetdom and a whole world of creatures we have taken into our hearts.
		Infused with the spellbinding Henson magic, these tales, treasured by generation after generation in the Old World, come to us now with a new radiance.
		This book is, I think, the original screenplay of Jim Henson's Storyteller series because it follows very closely to the stories and dialogue seen on TV.

		Jim's history is full of successes and failures, and we get to see how these impacted his business, creative, and personal lives--and he had difficulties in all three areas at times.
		Another thing we learn is that Jim didn't really want to be KNOWN as the puppet guy, but when Sam and Friends was his first hit, and that was using puppets, he got locked into that.
		Jim Henson is a wonderful man who deserves to be remembered as a person who DID make a difference, and still does, in the lives of millions of children and adults.
