Being Elmo Trailer
As cliché as it, is: Don't judge a book by its cover. Because that book walking down the street, just looking like an average Joe, could, in fact, be the voice and self behind one of the most iconic figures in the world, Elmo. This is an eye opening documentary about the man (er hand?) within the puppet. Unlike other children his age, who probably wanted to be professional athletes, or doctors, lawyers, when they were older, Kevin Clash grew up watching the Muppets and idolizing its indescribably talented creator, Jim Henson. He wanted to not only be a puppeteer, but work with Jim and his team. This documentary chronicles the life of Kevin Clash, and the impact that he, as Elmo, has had on the world. It is incredibly moving to see how purely genuine Clash is, and the "clash" between his actual voice, and the voice of his three year old, monster alter ego, Elmo.
