Good evening, ladies. Matt Baume
You never know where heroes or villains might develop, but Robert Maxheimer, Exhibitions Manager at The Walt Disney Company, saw it happen at the D23 Expo in 2019. Sponsored See Cherdonna alongside her creator in this hour-long feature dance film presentation.
At that year s fan expo, Disney had assembled a display of costumes from their archives, with 20,000 people passing through the exhibit over three days. Among them were a mother and daughter, dressed as Cinderella and the Fairy Godmother. The pair studied the costumes on display, Maxheimer recalls, so that they could go back home and tweak the designs of their own outfits.

Dearborn – Kermit, Bert, Ernie, Fozzie, Big Bird, those names alone instantly take you to a place in your mind where the Muppets are your friends and taught you lessons as a child you will never forget. Now the man behind “The Muppets,” Jim Henson, is being celebrated at The Henry Ford Museum with his own exhibit.
Host Jason Carr spoke to Kate Morland, the Exhibits Manager at the Henry Ford, to learn more about the exhibit. Sesame Street started in 1969, so for over 50 years The Muppets have been in the public eye. Jim Henson was a large part of that. He started The Muppets before Sesame Street started airing and continuing on through the 70s and 80s.
