RIP i I am still surprised how well he lived up to his father's legacy. That was a very tough act to follow and they continued to make people smile. Rest in peace.

Jim Henson's death was very odd, I think it was a Strep Throat. It eventually became Pneumonia and he died, it was VERY sudden.



This gave everyone the feels

Damn, both Jim and now John. How much money did they make off the Disney deal? Hopefully someone in their family can continue the legacy....

sidenote: Did the Disney deal affect Sesame Street?

Yeah, he didn't feel the need to go to the hospital because he felt like it would go away. His last appearance (as himself and as Kermit) was on The Arsenio Hall Show and he died a few days before finalizing a deal with Disney. Have you all ever seen Jim Henson's funeral? One of the most odd yet beautiful memorials that I have seen. You had all of these family and friends there as well as Muppets and many of his other creations. Big Bird sang "It's Not Easy Being Green."



"Thank you, Kermit."
