Item Description
The Muppets. The Dark Crystal. Labyrinth. Fraggle Rock. For more than half a century, the Jim Henson name has been synonymous with the creation of expressive and enduring characters. Innovation has been a hallmark ever since a teenage Jim Henson made the pioneering leap from the traditional hard materials of theater puppetry to the flexibility of fabric and foam, transforming the art form for the new medium of television.
Today, the skilled and dedicated team at Jim Henson’s Creature Shop continues to follow its founders’ lead with groundbreaking innovation, evolving with the effects industry by implementing practical puppet and animatronic techniques when appropriate while embracing the potential of digital effects.
Come take a special private tour of the Jim Henson Creature Shop in Burbank. See the behind the scenes technology that allows entire communities of animated characters to be brought to life with the spontaneity and flexibility of real-time performances. So whether it be the soft puppets of Sesame Street, the on-stage creatures for Lady Gaga, or the digital characters of Sid the Science Kid, or the upcoming puppets for the new Dark Crystal series coming to Netflix in 2019.
Item Special Note
The tour is made available for up to six people (children are welcome!).
