Our take

Putting the Muppets to one side, Jim Henson set out to make his big screen mark with this energetic, 9-minute wonder. A surrealist stream-of-consciousness bolstered by cutout animation and a percussive score, Time Piece proved an arthouse hit, earning an Oscar® nomination for Best Live Action Short!
