Warner Bros., a movie studio owned by the media conglomerate Time Warner, released Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird and The Witches. It is set to release the upcoming Where the Wild Things Are, which includes Jim Henson Creature Shop effects.
Jim Henson's daughter Lisa Henson worked for Warner Bros. during the 1980s.[1]
Warner Bros. is perhaps more famous for being the company that owns the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons. The line that closed many of these cartoons, "Th-th-th-that's All, Folks!" was spoofed as "Th-th-that's Awful, Folks!" in The Muppets Go to the Movies.
It's been announced that Warner Home Video will gain distribution rights for Sesame Workshop properties in 2010.[2]
