Jim Henson Partners for 'Pajanimals'

The Jim Henson Company has partnered with Sprout and Northern Ireland’s Sixteen South Limited for the co-production of the new preschool series, “Pajanimals,” which will air exclusively in the U.S. on Sprout this fall.

“Pajanimals” characters were designed and built by the Jim Henson's Creature Shop from original concepts by Los Angeles-based toy and clothing designer, artist Jeff Muncy.  

Production on “Pajanimals” will begin immediately in Northern Ireland, with funding assistance from Northern Ireland Screen. The Jim Henson Company is handling all ancillary use of the property including licensing, video and merchandising.
