Title: Rare Jim Henson films Post by: Pilgermann on September 18, 2007, 11:56:09 PM I came across some of Jim Henson's early experimental work on YouTube. I knew nothing about these films until earlier today. First up is Time Piece (1965). This recieved and Academy Award nomination for best short film. It's pretty weird but entertaining.

I haven't watched all of this yet but it's pretty strange. It's about a man who finds himself trapped in a cube-shaped room. Different people come and go through the cube, but the man seems unable to leave.

Cool find. Thanks for sharing. + karma Title: Re: Rare Jim Henson films Post by: HarlotBug3 on September 25, 2007, 03:21:09 PM Time Piece is classic avant garde indulgence, pure playfullness, makes me giddy as a child again. :teddyr:
