Movie #3258 ........................."Jim Henson: Idea Man" (Disney+)

Movie #3258 "Jim Henson:  Idea Man" (Disney+)  Very enjoyable documentary on Jim Henson which focuses a lot on his relationship with his wife and with the other puppeteers, who speak a lot of time in this film --- what I like about it is that it flows smoothly through the transitions from one topic to the next and edits really well --- he himself didn't speak much on the subjects presented here, so his friends do that, but Ron Howard (esteemed director) shows a lot of him "doing" which speaks for itself.  Lots of variety on how to get across a lot of information in a short amount of time.  Well done!  I'd give it 4.5, just could be a bit clearer on some parts of his life, like relationship with his kids... etc.
