"Genuinely sincere and heartwarming without devolving into eye-rolling saccharine, this is an uplifting story of a man following his dreams against the herd of expectation, backed with the love and support of his family.

We follow Kevin Clash from his humble performances in his backyard to children, to local tv, to working on huge films such as Labyrinth. Clash's unbridled joy in the work he does is an infectious dose of enthusiasm that will bring a smile to even the most pessimistic of watcher.
The message of Elmo being created around the central emotion of love and that being his anchor between himself and the puppet is particularly striking"
