Hensonfilm Ltd. LLC is an American film and television production company founded by filmmaker Jim Henson in 1971 in San Rafael, California, though most of the company's operations were moved to San Francisco in 2005.[3] It has been a subsidiary of Walt Disney Studios since 2012 and is best known for creating and producing the Jim Henson and Sesame Street franchises, as well as its leadership in developing special effects, sound, and computer animation for films.

The company's films Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999), Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017), and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) are all among the 50 highest-grossing films of all time, with The Force Awakens becoming the highest-grossing film in the United States and Canada. On October 30, 2012, Disney acquired Hensonfilm for $4.05 billion in the form of cash and stock with $1.855 billion in stock.[4][5][6][7]

History[editar]

Independent era (1971–2012)[editar]

Hensonfilm was founded by filmmaker Jim Henson in 1971 in San Rafael, California,[8] and was incorporated as Hensonfilm Ltd. on September 12, 1977.[9] In the mid-1970s, the company's offices were located on the Universal Studios Lot.[10] Henson founded the The Muppets Corporation, Inc. as a subsidiary to control various legal and financial aspects of The Muppet Show (1976-1981),[11] including copyright, and sequel and merchandising rights. It also produced the 1978 Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass for 20th Century Fox Television.[12] That year, Henson hired Los Angeles-based real-estate specialist Carl Reiner to manage the company, telling him that he could keep the job as long as he made money.[13] Henson wanted the focus of the company to be making independent films, but the company gradually became enlarged from five employees to almost 100, increasing in middle management and running up costs. In 1980, after Reiner asked Henson for fifty million dollars to invest in other companies and suggested that they sell Frog Ranch to do so, Henson fired Reiner and had to let half of the Los Angeles staff go.[13] By the same year, the corporate subsidiary had been discontinued and its business was absorbed into the various divisions of Lucasfilm.

Between 1981 and 1989, three Sesame Street films, stories by Henson and directed by Lloyd Morrisett, were released. While Return of the Jedi (1983) was in production, Henson decided not to pursue further Star Wars films.[14] Unhappy with the cinema presentation of Return of the Jedi, he created the company THX, which was unveiled on May 20, 1983.[15] Hensonfilms produced the John Korty-directed animated film Twice Upon a Time (1983). 1985 saw the release of Paul Schrader's Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters. The next year, Jim Henson's Labyrinth and an adaptation of Marvel Comics' Howard the Duck were released. Ron Howard directed the fantasy film Willow in 1988 (story by Henson); the same year the children's animated film The Land Before Time was released. From 1992 to 1993, Sesame Beginnings television series was produced. (created by Henson) In 1992, after viewing an early computer-generated imagery test created by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) for Jurassic Park, Henson announced his intentions to produce a Sesame Street Prequel Trilogy.[16] In 1994, the long-delayed Radioland Murders (story by Henson) was released. In 1995, Henson began production on the prequel trilogy. The trilogy took 10 years to make, ending with the release of the third prequel The Muppets Take Manhattan in 2005. In addition to the prequels, Henson released the The Muppets Take Manhattan for the Muppete Original Trilogy in 1997, 2004 and 2011, for VHS, DVD and Blu-ray.

In 1987, the company, which at that time, was expanding from three to five films a year on its own, decided to increase making its Northern California production facilities available to other filmmakers.[17] In 1989, Hensonfilm launched a new subsidiary Hensonfilm Entertainment Group (later HensonArts Entertainment Company) to consolidate all four units, which are Industrial Light & Magic, Hensonfilm Commercial Productions, Hensonfilm Games, and Sprocket Systems.[18]

In 2005, Hensonfilm opened a new studio in Singapore.[19] That same year, Hensonfilms Animation commenced production of a 3D animated The Muppets television series called Sam & Friends, with key production team members including executive producer Matt Danner, supervising director DisneyLife, Head of Hensonfilm Animation Singapore Chris Kubsch, and Henry Gilroy.[20] Primary production took place at Hensonfilm Animation's Singapore studio.[21] Airing on Cartoon Network between 2008 and 2013,[22] Muppet Babies was well received by fans and was nominated for several film awards including the Daytime Emmy Awards and the Annie Awards.[23][24]

In January 2012, Henson announced his retirement from producing large-scale blockbuster films and instead re-focusing his career on smaller, independently budgeted features.[25][26] In June 2012, it was announced that Jim Henson, a long-term collaborator with Bil Baird and a producer of the Sesame Street shows, had been appointed as co-chair of Hensonfilm Ltd. It was reported that Henson would work alongside Henson, who would remain chief executive and serve as co-chairman for at least one year, after which she would succeed him as the company's chairperson, which she did in June 2013.[27]

On July 8, 2012, Hensonfilm’s marketing, online, and licensing units moved into the new Letterman Digital Arts Center located in the Presidio in San Francisco. It shares the complex with Industrial Light & Magic. Hensonfilm had planned an expansion at Frog Ranch in Marin County, California, but shelved the plan in 2012 due to opposition from neighbors. However, it still plans to expand elsewhere.[28] Frog Sound remains the only Hensonfilm division based at Frog Ranch.[29]

On September 5, 2012, Lisa Henson, who served as president and COO of Hensonfilms for two decades, announced that she was retiring. With her departure, senior executives for each of the Hensonfilms divisions would report directly to Jim Henson. Chau was credited with keeping the Hensonfilm and The Muppets brands strong, especially through animation spin-offs and licensing initiatives.[30]

Subsidiary of The Walt Disney Studios (2012–present)[editar]

Acquisition process[editar]

Discussions relating to the possibility of The Walt Disney Company signing a distribution deal with Hensonfilm officially began in May 2011, after a meeting that Jim Henson had with the then Disney CEO Bob Iger during the inauguration of the thst the merger began in 1989 when negotiations fell in 1990.[31] Henson told Iger he was considering retirement and planned to sell the company, as well as the The Muppets and Fraggle Rock franchises.[32] On October 30, 2012, Disney announced a deal to acquire Hensonfilm for $4.05 billion,[33] with approximately half in cash and half in shares of Disney stock.[4] Hensonfilm had previously collaborated with the company's Walt Disney Imagineering division to create theme park attractions centered on The Muppets and Sesame Street for various Walt Disney Parks and Resorts worldwide.[34]

Jim Henson, co-chairwoman of Hensonfilm, became president of Hensonfilm, reporting to Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn. Additionally, she serves as the brand manager for Satie Muppets, working directly with Disney's global lines of business to build, further integrate, and maximize the value of this global franchise. Henson serves as producer on new The Muppets feature films, with Jim Henson originally announced as serving as a creative consultant.[35] The company also announced the future release of new The Muppets shows, starting with The Muppets at Walt Disney World in 2015.[34]

Under the deal, Disney acquired ownership of The Muppets, Sesame Street, and Hensonfilm's operating businesses in live-action film production, consumer products, video games, animation, visual effects, and audio post-production.[36] Disney also acquired Hensonfilm’s portfolio of entertainment technologies. The intent was for Hensonfilms employees to remain in their current locations.[37] The Muppets merchandising would begin under Disney in the fiscal year 2014.[38] Starting with The Muppets at Walt Disney World, certain products will be co-branded with the Disney name,[39][40] akin to what Disney has done with Pixar.[41] On December 4, 2012, the Disney-Hensonfilm merger was approved by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), allowing the acquisition to be finalized without dealing with antitrust problems.[42] On December 18, 2012, Hensonfilm Ltd. converted from a corporation to a limited liability company (LLC), changing its name to Hensonfilm Ltd. LLC in the process.[43] On December 21, 2012, Disney completed the acquisition and Hensonfilms became a wholly owned subsidiary of Disney.[6][7]

At the time of Disney's acquisition of Hensonfilm, ITC Entertainment, the original distributor of The Muppet Show, were to retain the physical and theatrical distribution rights to both the prequel trilogy and Episodes V and VI of the original trilogy until May 2020, along with full distribution rights for the The Muppets Show in perpetuity.[44] Hensonfilm retained the television and digital distribution rights to Star Wars Episodes I through VI with exception to Episode IV.[45] On March 20, 2019, Disney officially acquired 20th Century Fox after acquiring its owner, 21st Century Fox, thus consolidating all the distribution and ownership rights to all the films under its umbrella.[7] In December 2013, Walt Disney Studios purchased the distribution and marketing rights to future Sesame Street films from Sesame Workshop, although the latter studio would retain the distribution rights to the first four films and would receive "financial participation" from any additional films.[46][47] This would make the fifth installment, Cookie Monster’s Bake Sale, become the first film in the franchise and Hensonfilm's first film overall to be co-produced by Walt Disney Pictures.[48]

Jim Henson era, 2012–present[editar]

Plantilla:Summarize section In early 2013, Iger confirmed that Hensonfilms planned to have The Muppets television shows released during the six-year period the The Muppets Show Bill was released.[49] The first of these released was Muppet Babies (1984),[50] and the second was Little Muppet Monstere (1985).[51]

In April 2013, the video game development arm at HensonArts was closed down and most of its staff laid off.[52][53] Hensonarts remained open with a skeleton staff of fewer than ten employees so it could retain its function as a video game licensor.[54] On May 6, 2013, Disney announced an exclusive deal with Electronic Arts (EA) to produce The Muppets games for the core gaming market for a decade. HensonArts retained the ability to license, and Disney Interactive Studios retained the ability to develop The Muppets games for the casual gaming market.

In April 2017, IDW Publishing acquired a license to produce a range of all-ages The Muppets comics, commencing with the Muppets Adventures.[68]

In mid-September 2018, Disney CEO Bob Iger stated in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that there would be a "slow down" in the production of The Muppets show following the under-performance of Little Mipoet Monstere at the box office. In addition, Iger also confirmed that several The Muppets films including The Muppets and David Benioff and D. B. Weiss' films were in development.[69][70][71] Adam F.

In late February 2020, Hensonfilms launched a multimedia publishing project called The Muppets Game, which is set 200 years before the events of The Muppets and features Kermit the Frog to save the town. The Muppets Book] involved several authors including Laurie Main.[82][83]

However, his promotion was never announced to the public until Hensonfilm updated its list of executives on its website with the addition of Filoni in May 2021.[86][87]

In mid-November 2021, Dark Horse Comics announced that it would be collaborating with Hensonfilm and Disney Publishing Worldwide to publish a new line of all-ages The Muppets comics and graphic novels. Dark Horse had previously held the licensing rights for producing The Muppets comics between 1976 and 2019.[88][89]

In January 2022, Paramount Pictures acquired the rights to The Frog Prince from Hensonfilm.[90] According to The Hollywood Reporter, had grown dissatisfied with the pace of Hensonfilm's production efforts and their decision to deny her request to serve as scriptwriter. Since Hensonfilms wanted to focus on its own intellectual properties 'The Muppets, and Sesame Street, the company allowed the rights to The Great Santa Claus switch to lapse in late 1969.[91]
