Jim Henson’s Experimental Period

Jim Henson is best known as creator of The Muppets. But he was also a bit of a hippy, and on the road to mainstream success he had quite a reputation for surrealistic / avante garde film. Below are three fine examples of his lesser known experimental work.

The first, Time Piece, was nominated for an Oscar in 1967. The other two are short collaborations with legendary electronica pioneer Raymond Scott.
