| | | | | The Dark Crystal: Encyclopedia II - Jim Henson - Contributions to film The Muppet Show ended after five seasons, but the characters have appeared in a long series of movies, beginning with 1979's The Muppet Movie. One song from that musical film, "The Rainbow Connection", sung by Kermit, was nominated for an Oscar. The Muppet characters have also appeared in a large number of made-for-TV-movies and television specials.
Henson was also responsible for two non-Muppet Show-related movies, 1982's high fantasy The Dark Crystal and the 1986 Labyrinth, co-produced by George Lucas. To provide a visual style distinct from the Muppets, the puppets in these two mov ...

| | | | | The Dark Crystal: Encyclopedia II - Jim Henson - 1970s Henson, Oz, and his team targeted an adult audience with a series of sketches on Saturday Night Live, set mostly in the Land of Gorch. Eleven sketches aired between October 1975 and January 1976, with four additional appearances in March, April, May, and September. The SNL writers never got comfortable writing for the characters.
The failure of the Muppets on SNL might have been a blessing in disguise. Starting in 1976, The Muppet Show was occupying Henson's attention in the UK. The show featured Kermit as host, and a va ...

| | | | | | | The Dark Crystal: Encyclopedia II - Jim Henson - Death Jim Henson died of bacterial pneumonia on May 16, 1990 (the same day as Sammy Davis, Jr.), at the age of 53. A memorial service for him aired on PBS and drew millions of viewers and dozens of celebrities in reverence for his life and work.
The Jim Henson Company, Jim Henson Foundation, and Jim Henson's Creature Shop have continued on after his death. His son Brian and daughter Lisa are currently the co-chairs and co-CEOs of the Company; his daughter Cheryl is the president of the Foundation. Steve Whitmire, a veteran member of the Muppet puppeteering crew, has assumed the roles of the two most famous characters played by Jim Henson ...

| | | | | The Dark Crystal: Encyclopedia II - The Muppets - 'Save the Muppets' campaign? In the fall of 2005, the Muppets Holding Company held open auditions for puppeteers, looking for potential understudy performers for several key Muppet characters for various live side projects. This pleased many professional puppeteers in North America who have dreamed of such an opportunity of a lifetime.
In age of commincation, however, armchair pundits start springboarding up cyber-petitions faster than you can say "Hi-ho"! In October 2005, when Muppeteers Dave Goelz and Steve Whitmire were not used on the Movies.com webshow "Stat ...

| | | | | The Dark Crystal: Encyclopedia II - The Dark Crystal - Technical Notes The Dark Crystal was made in the era between traditionally animated feature films and later movies produced by computer-generated techniques. All characters in the movie are muppets, and none are based on humans or any other specific Earth creature.
