Jim Henson's Creature Shop is an American animation and special/visual effects company founded in 1979 by Jim Henson, creator of The Muppets. The company is based in Hollywood, California, United States.
History
Jim Henson's Creature Shop was originally created as a partnership with British illustrator Brian Froud to facilitate the production of The Dark Crystal.[1] Originally located in Hampstead, London, it received its name in order to differentiate it from Jim Henson's original puppet workshop in New York City.[1] It was then used for future productions such as Labyrinth and The StoryTeller.[1]
It was relocated to Camden Town following Henson's death in 1990 and his son, Brian Henson, took it over.[1]
