Talk:The Jim Henson Company
From Muppet Wiki
Company names
Presents Santa Kermit was released with a copyright attributed to Henson Associates in 1990. So the company was still HA until at least then. I will research this further. -- Scarecroe 17:35, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- I think that the company was called both Jim Henson Productions and Henson Associates in the 1980s. The 1986 video Learning About Letters has a copyrigt credit for Muppets, Inc., so I guess the company was also still called Muppets, Inc in 1986. I beleive that Muppet Babies and Fraggle Rock used both the Jim Henson Productions logo and a Henson Associates logo, and the television special Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting also used the Henson Associates logo. So I think the company used several different names stimultaneously. --Minor muppetz 21:29, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- Doesn't Jim Henson: The Works have info on this? I wouldn't use copyright notices on merchandise for accurate info. -- Toughpigs 21:34, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- Bringing this subject back up again, I just noticed that the credits for The Frog Prince includes a credit for Henson Associates. So either Henson Associates was an official name back then (alongside Muppets, Inc), or the credit was added later (this credit appears at the bottom of the credits, while Kermit is still seen swimming, so I would imagine it being hard to merely replace a credit like that unless Henson still had a pre-production copy of the end credit sequence without the credits). --Minor muppetz 18:10, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
