In July 1989, Jim Henson and Frank Oz made an appearance at the Puppeteers of America national festival at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The event was documented and added to the Puppeteers of America audio-visual archive with a special 15-minute introduction by Frank Oz and 5-minute outro recorded in 1993.
Throughout the one-hour discussion, Henson and Oz perform Kermit the Frog, Rowlf the Dog, Cookie Monster, Animal, Fozzie Bear and Grover. Some of the topics include the history of Henson Associates, research on Sesame Street, and behind the scenes info about the Muppets, The Dark Crystal, The Jim Henson Hour, and Little Shop of Horrors. Frank Oz also demonstrates how they perform the Muppets on film and television.
In 1993 a VHS of the video was available though the Puppeteers of America archives; in 2019 the full program was uploaded to the Puppeteers of America's official YouTube channel. (YouTube)
