I love watching this; one of those films that tosses so many new -- or at least then-new -- and playful ideas at viewers, with a surprisingly high success rate. Similar to HAUSU / HOUSE in that respect, actually.
Thanks for posting that. I'd seen an edited down version of it at the Science Fiction Museum (part of the EMP in Seattle) as part of an exhibit for Jim Henson's work. Dude is a creative BEAST!
Here's a couple of other videos of some of his work; these are commercials:
LA CHOY
IDEAL TOYS
WILKINS COFFEE
You can see more of a sinister / dark humor side of Henson in a portion of the Ideal Toys ad; the Wilkins Coffee campaign is pretty much based on it.
