Feel good movie submitted by sherlonya on July 11, 2012, 8:18pm I heard about this movie on a podcast I listen to, and decided to check it out. It is seldom that I watch something more than once, but Being Elmo made that short list. Great movie for people who like stories about individuals who follow their dreams.

Fascinating Journey submitted by kathscot on July 18, 2012, 9:16am Kevin Clash follows his dream with the support of his family. You also learn some interesting things about puppets. A very good movie.

Interesting Watch submitted by andreahubert on July 24, 2012, 10:39am This was a good watch. Learning about Kevin Clash was fun, but learning about puppets was fascinating.

Loved This! submitted by Beth Manuel on August 14, 2012, 8:49am This film had me smiling non-stop and then tearing with emotion. It was delightful to watch Kevin Clash's journey to follow his dream and the determination he had that got him there. Some of the old footage of Jim Henson with Clash was amazing, too. I highly recommend this film to anyone who loves a good story. It was inspirational! Great for school aged kids to adults.
