Given that they stay with the same type of original beautiful sets and character designs (the original set and character designer from the movie worked on this series), had some of the original puppeteers and stayed away from a full cgi film (great move there!), I think Jim Henson would be very proud of the work his children brought forth with this series, as they knew him best and what he was going for. I believe it couldn't have been more perfect if he had did it himself. It brought back the nostalgia of the movie perfectly. As I child, I was fascinated with it and I always wanted to know of the backstory of the movie and this brought that to life for me. I could not wait for it to come out and I was not disappointed. I can't wait for the next season, as there is more story to tell!
