If your like me you where brought up on The Muppets there would have been some point in your childhood you would have tuned in especially on school holidays to Sesame Street on Channel 4. Sesame Street was part of Jim Henson's world but for the slighlty younger ones, with more educational things than slapstick humour of The Muppets the characters where just as colourful Count Dracula, Big Bird, Bert & Ernie (Are they? Arent they gay?), cookie monster and the subject of this trailer Elmo. Since this years Sundance Festival

The movie chronicles the story of
Kevin Clash whose long life dream of becoming a puppeteer and the linchpin behind one of the most popular characters in children's television history Elmo.
