MIPJunior Spotlight: The Jim Henson Company

Available for the first time at MIPJunior from HIP (Henson Independent Properties), the CG-animated series friendZspace (working title) is a character-driven comedy about three fun-loving Earth kids who jet off into a supercluster of stars and hop from planet to planet on a mission to make friends all across the universe.

“It’s a comedy about discovering common ground—even if it eludes us at first—and embracing each other’s differences,” says Claudia Scott-Hansen, The Jim Henson Company’s senior VP of global distribution.

Now on its fifth season, the Emmy-nominated Dinosaur Train recently celebrated its 100th episode. Rounding out the highlights, Word Party is an early-preschool series that features four baby animals who invite the young viewers to help teach them new words and learn these new words themselves as well.

Scott-Hansen adds, “The Jim Henson Company’s distribution team is skilled, experienced and well-connected worldwide.”
