Featured review
You can say what ever you want about it, but there's no denying that Jim Henson's earlier works are certainly...INTERESTING to some degree. Having only thus far witnessed 'Time Piece', if 'Piece' can be considered a basis for the style of these earlier Henson films than I am likely to love every one that I see! Surreal, funny, bizarre, brilliant...it's Henson years before he came to be known as the world famous creator of such classics as 'The Muppet Show' and 'Sesame Street'. I can certainly say that it is at least mildly surprising seeing a film made by the man who invented 'Sesame Street' that also contains some heavily raunchy jokes and images, but this element only adds to the fun! Seriously, 'Time Piece' is an uproarious and surrealist joyriot!
