HIT! Entertainment was originally formed as Henson International Television (hit!) in 1983 as a branch of the Jim Henson Company in order to coordinate the co-production of Fraggle Rock in London. This subsidary was sold and retains none of the original Henson company architecture.

HIT! currently owns the Barney and Bob the Builder franchises, among others.

In April 2004, Henson signed a five-year agreement that gave HIT! distribution rights of a large portion of the company's "family showcase" media catalogue. Begining in 2006, HIT! signed a deal with 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment for distribution of their DVD titles in the United States. [1] Beginning in May 2008, distribution will be taken over by Lionsgate. [2] (April 1, 2004 - March 31, 2009)
