The Henson puppets of Shigeru Miyamoto, Satoru Iwata, and Reggie Fils-Aimé stole the show at Nintendo's E3 presentation this year. A new video from Nintendo follows Miyamoto as he tours Jim Henson Studios, the Burbank backlot where the puppets were made. Take a look:

Brian Henson, son of Jim, sits down to chat with Miyamoto as well. They talk about filming the opening to the E3 show as well as Miyamoto's childhood aspirations of becoming a puppet maker.
