Review: Jim Henson is best known for shows like the Muppets, but he was responsible for so many other features, many of which were environmentally conscience.   The Song of the Cloud Forest was part of the Jim Henson Hour back in 1989 on NBC.  The hour-long series would begin with MuppeTelevision and then a half hour segment, often the Storyteller.  

The main focus of the Song of the Cloud Forest was an environmentally conscious outlook on the world.  There was a new movement at the time to save the rainforest and Henson was always very tapped into such causes.  The puppeteering is wonderful and the story is great.  This is classic Henson work.

This DVD includes the Cloud Forest and two other tales, one of which is Fraggle Rock.  The other is the Animal Show with Stink and Jake.  This is a fantastic release from Lionsgate.  We're hoping for a full Jim Henson Hour series DVD release soon!
