Jim Henson's 75th Birthday --24th September 2011


Google Doodle Animation for Jim Henson's 75th Birth day  
Google.com today celebrating 75th birthday of the puppeteer, director and producer Jim Henson, best known as the creator of the Muppets with a special animated doodle.
"For the next 36 hours, we're honoring Jim's birthday on our homepage with a special doodle created in tandem with The Jim Henson Company," Google said.
Brian Henson, Jim's son shared wrote a blog post on official Google blog about his father.
Brian said "He also loved games--card games, board games, all kinds of games. He was one of those rare parents who was always ready to play again. He loved dogs, particularly goofy ones. And he lived for those moments when everyone laughed so hard they couldn't talk. I often walked onto the Muppet set to find everyone just laughing hysterically.
Although he loved family, his work was almost never about "traditional" families. The Muppets were a family--a very diverse one. One of his life philosophies was that we should love people not for their similarities, but for their differences."
