The Jim Henson Hour Theme is an instrumental song used as the opening and closing theme for The Jim Henson Hour.
The opening begins with a shot of the Griffin, who holds a crystal ball. The title then appears on-screen (with the ball seen inside the "O" of "Hour"), as some creatures (Droop, a lizard, and a snail) observe the ball. Droop pops the ball, which causes a tornado to appear.
Inside this tornado are various characters from the show (and other Henson productions). This sequence includes Bean Bunny in a cup, Digit, Gonzo, Miss Piggy, one of the dogs from Dog City in a vehicle, The Swedish Chef tossing a pie at Fozzie Bear (who is in a TV set), Kermit the Frog (on a bicycle), Prince Leo riding a wolf, and a picture of The Storyteller. The sequence ends with a shot of Jim Henson entering the room in which he makes his introductions.
