JIM HENSON RARETIES night at CineFamily TONIGHT (Tues)

Tues March 18 @ 8pm and 10pm

Jim Henson’s Commercials & Experiments

An exclusive screening selected from muppets, music & magic: Jim Henson’s legacy

A mind-blowing collection of shorts, crazy commercials, and other rarities from the Henson vault. Highlights include: an industrial film for Wilson’s Meat that must be seen to be believed, commercials featuring the LaChoy Dragon, a full-body character that caused Frank Oz to swear off doing any others, animation utilizing techniques ranging from stop-motion to early computer animation, excerpts from The Cube and Youth 68, the two episodes Jim and company created for NBC’s Experiment in Television, and a 35mm print of Time Piece, an Academy Award nominated 8-minute masterpiece that showcases Henson’s talent for making music out of everyday sounds.”

Tickets – $12/ $8 for members
