    Jim Henson began experimenting with puppets from a young age, inspired by his grandmother. In high school, he began working with puppets on television and experimented with different puppet theater styles. He went on to create The Muppets, with characters like Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy. Henson populated Sesame Street with Muppets to teach children. Over the decades, he expanded the Muppets through television appearances and movies, introduced animatronics, and established the Jim Henson Creature Shop workshop. The key to Henson's success was his innovation and willingness to experiment with new artistic techniques.
