MIPTV Spotlight: The Jim Henson Company

CANNES: Co-produced with Herschend Enterprises, Splash and Bubbles is an ocean-themed animated series that is made using The Jim Henson Company’s Emmy-winning Henson Digital Puppetry Studio.

The show, which features lively music with a Motown flair, debuted on PBS Kids in the U.S. last year. Fraggle Rock, meanwhile, stars a cast of puppet creatures who live in an underground world that is filled with caves.

Dot. is meant to teach little ones how technology can be used in a positive way. “Dot and her friends’ use of tech is fueled by their most basic kid needs—which are the same for all kids around the world—to connect, play, capture moments, tell stories and, most importantly, to feed their curiosity,” says Ian Lambur, the management consultant for global distribution at The Jim Henson Company.

He adds: “We will be announcing several key broadcast partners for these shows.”
