Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
It's a reminder of the people who affected our childhood so much and whose art form is being left behind in the age of Pixar and Dreamworks.

BEING ELMO is a likable documentary that tells the story of Mr. Clash's single-minded pursuit of puppet excellence...
New York Times
3 stars out of 4 -- [BEING ELMO] is a documentary that follows him through a series of good breaks....We even hear an eyewitness account to the day he 'discovered' the Elmo character.
Chicago Sun-Times
[A] marvelous movie. It's a documentary about Kevin Clash, who became the voice and operator of Elmo...who is without a doubt the most beloved Muppet of his time.
Entertainment Weekly
Gives much deserved credit to one of the most famous, and previously least recognizable, performers in television history.

What a terrific bunch of guys the Muppets/Sesame Street creators are, not just spiritually, but technically.

It's a humane story about how, sometimes, our dreams can take us to places we might only have, well, dreamed of.

Product Description:
Most American parents are very much aware of Elmo, the child-like fuzzy red Muppet on SESAME STREET who has become a favorite among the show's youthful audience. But far fewer people know the name Kevin Clash, the puppeteer who brings Elmo to life, and filmmaker Constance Marks introduces viewers to the man behind the Muppet in this documentary. Clash, a big and burly-looking man with a large reserve of shyness, was born and raised in Baltimore and was something of a loner in his youth, but found a way to express himself when he discovered puppetry. In his teens, Clash began building his own puppets (once destroying one of his father's coats to use as material for his latest project), and showed a remarkable talent for the art. Clash worked on a variety of television shows and movies before being hired to work on SESAME STREET, where he formulated his most famous character. BEING ELMO: A PUPPETEER'S JOURNEY offers a backstage look at Clash's life and times, a look into his working methods, and insight into how he informs Elmo's personality and uses the character to send a positive message to the world. BEING ELMO received its world premiere at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.
