Famous puppeteer, director, producer, screenwriter and crazy artist handling both drawing and animatronics, Jim Henson not only created the Muppet Show, participated in an incredible number of films and TV shows through his various creative studios (Saturday Night Live, The Cube, The Dark Crystal co-directed with his sidekick Frank Oz or the more confusing Labyrinth co-produced by George Lucas), but has also been passionate about children's programs since his beginnings with The Junior Morning Show in 1954, Sam and Friends (which will see the birth of Kermit the Frog), then Sesame Street in 1968, the cartoon The Muppet Babies (1984-1991) and of course the essential puppet series Fraggle Rock (1983-1987).
The puppets are unleashed££££
A program as demanding as it is creative (96 episodes of 26') which left its mark on a generation of children through the underground tribulations of completely crazy little hairy creatures living underground -floor of Doc and his dog Croquette. Typical Fraggle character trait? They spend their time having fun and taunting the Gorgs, somewhat frightening giants living in trash cans. A timeless and magical world where it's good to sing and have fun.
That's Fraggle££££
Since the teaser for the new season Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock was put online, the counters have been going crazy. Announced on March 29 on the platform, Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock season 2 includes 13 new episodes following the first season and a special “Holiday†episode, Night of the Lights. This time, Fraggles, Doozers (even smaller than the Fraggles!) and Gorgs will be forced to confront their past and celebrate their interdependence while dancing to forget their worries... The "new era" series is co-produced by Lisa Marie Henson, daughter by Jim and Jane Henson, founders of The Jim Henson Company studio.
