“We lost #JimHenson on this day in 1990,” says someone else. “While I am inspired by so many, I can’t say anyone has inspired me more than him – both as a creator & a person. If you haven’t already, read (or listen to) the bio by Brian Jay Jones – it’s fantastic.”

Henson’s fans might be thrilled to know that a biopic about the late creator is currently in the works. Dubbed Muppet Man, the project picked up Michael Mitnick to write the screenplay last month, rewriting a previous draft by Aaron and Jordan Kandell. Lisa Henson, Jim’s daughter, is on board to serve as a producer. No casting announcements have yet been made and it remains unclear who will play Henson in the movie.
In the meantime, fans can watch The Muppet Show along with other incarnations of the popular franchise to celebrate Henson’s legacy on the anniversary of his death. The series is now streaming on Disney+, as is the streamer’s new exclusive take on the series called Muppets Now. Wherever he is now, Henson would most certainly be proud to see Kermit and his pals still going strong over three decades later. Rest in peace, Jim Henson. You can see more tribute posts to Henson on Twitter.

He made big changes with his films like The Dark Crystal
He did this for not for money, not for fame, but because he loved his work, and worked non-stop until his tragic passing today… May he be well in his place… we miss you Henson, even after 30 years.#JimHenson— Captain Gus (@TTCaptainGus) May 16, 2021
So much of who I am is thanks to Jim Henson. The Muppets & Seasame Street were my childhood. Through him, I found my favorite artist, Brian Froud, and figured out my love for drawing and illustrating ???? https://t.co/LjxlPkMmNZ

It’s been 31 years since the world lost a legend and one of my idols. While I sadly never got to meet Jim Henson, I’ve heard a lot about what he was like and how he inspired others from people that he worked with. https://t.co/9SefwuGAhI

I don’t think we really talk enough about the cultural impact Jim Henson left behind. Sesame Street alone is a juggernaut that reinvented the idea of children’s programming and its impact on the early education of children worldwide is staggering. https://t.co/bu4E3xcCjt
