Review: The audience Jim Henson’s lost screen play, Tale of the Sand is going to be fans of the comic book, mood capturing art work of Ramon Perez and the diehard “I must have it all” Jim Henson fan. The content is just adult enough that parents may not want it for their kids. Absent those few images, the mostly likely response from a youngster, though maybe not a YA will be: “Huh?” Mine was only slightly better. This is from a Jim Henson fan. One who even liked The Dark Crystal. I know him from his more adult oriented Great Bavog SNL sketches and do not expect him to write only for kiddies and be sponsored by numbers and letters. Jim Henson’s lost screen play: Tale of Sand, has very good work by artist Jeffery Juhl and Ramon K. Perez and not much else. It could have been a decent film short but there is not enough here for a quarter of a full-length feature. As an Art House film short it is from the school of surrealism and based on the notion that by telling the audience nothing, the audience can make of it anything. To me this is a surreal, minimalist allegory of life. Or something else, or nothing else. That much uncertainty speaks of an artist with a vision, but no not enough substance.
