Long before Sesame Street changed children’s television forever and The Muppet Show became a global phenomenon, Jim Henson was already weaving his unique brand of magic, blending puppetry, music, and gentle subversion into unforgettable viewing experiences. One of the earliest, and arguably most pivotal, examples of this burgeoning genius was the 1969 television special, Hey Cinderella!. While perhaps overshadowed by later Muppet triumphs, this charming, witty adaptation of the classic fairy tale wasn’t just another children’s program; it was a foundational moment for the Muppets, a crucible for creative partnerships, and the place where a certain iconic frog truly found his voice – and his flippers.
