Nothing new here that hasn't been covered in previous docs on the subject, but this is one of the better presentations.

Henson is still given the majority of the credit and perhaps so, but no one really covers the great cartoon segments very well. Those Pointer Sisters sure could count pinballs back in the day! At least we got to see the clumsy chef a little in this one.
