| You gotta love that no matter what the muppets are able to make you smile. I especially love this one because if you watch Belafonte's face the entire time you can see he's either smiling or trying to stifle one. This is true proof of the Muppet's greatness. |

| This song is timeless, the older i get the more meaning it has for me. A great example of how the muppets and more over, jim's works entertained us as children, and guide us now as adults... |

| in the late 80's (i think) the muppets did a 30th anniversary special. at one point, robin asked kermit what his favorite thing about the muppets was, and he said it was when they weren't trying to be funny. then they played this clip. this was kermit the frog's favorite piece!! jim henson was a visionary genius, and he is still missed dearly. thanks so much for posting this! |

| Belafonte looks entranced by the African mask muppets ... just how I feel actually. The entire sequence is pure magic of a very Muppet variety. |
