Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey 2011
Watched Jul 16, 2012
Wesley Mead’s review:
A woderful, emotional and powerful documentary about Kevin Clash, the impeccable talent behind Elmo. Plenty of insight into his background, his entry into the Jim Henson team, and into just how much work goes into making Elmo - or any puppet - a believable character. Highlights include Elmo talking to Make-A-Wish children who asked to meet him (manly tears were shed) and some fantastic footage of Clash's early attempts at puppet creation.
I was surprised by how moving this film was.
