From his puppeteering days to viewers of a local D.C. TV station to global audiences theatrically, if you weren’t able to remember Jim Henson’s face you certainly recognized his zany muppets. A new documentary from Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard, titled “Jim Henson: Idea Man,” chronologically goes through Henson’s life’s work and how closely tied his loved ones were to projects like “Sesame Street” and his 1986 feature “Labyrinth.” For this week’s FilmWeek feature, Larry talks to Howard about his new documentary and how he looked to capture Henson’s life by talking to those closest to him still living.

‘Jim Henson: Idea Man’ is now available to stream on Disney+.
