The release of the Being Elmo trailer provides an exclusive look into the [upcoming documentary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sneaks-movie) on the [beloved puppet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arr-x-kaws-sesame-street). As the name suggests, the documentary will examine a behind-the-scenes look into Kevin Clash, the man who has been playing the character all these years. Scenes from the trailer talks about Clash's life, his dreams of working on the Jim Henson set and eventually voicing one of the most lovable muppets of all time.
