Jim Henson Interactive is a division of the Jim Henson Company, launched in 1994. JHI's stated mission was "the worldwide digital expression of all intellectual properties owned by the organization". As well as working on the development of digital animation systems and services, it was responsible for producing software, including computer games and interactive web sites.
