About

Presented alongside the ‘Make, Believe, Magic: The Worlds of The Jim Henson Company’ special exhibition (12 September 2026 – 18 April 2027), ‘Where the Wild Things Are Made: Jim Henson’s Creature Shop’ celebrates the skill and craftsmanship of the artisans at Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.

Highlighting the diverse portfolio of expressive characters and creatures made by the Company for external productions, the selected films showcase the work of Jim Henson’s Creature Shop and how it continues to shape the landscape of cinematic storytelling.

An important facet of The Jim Henson Company, Jim Henson’s Creature Shop is internationally renowned for creating pioneering techniques that bring extraordinary characters and stories to life. Formally established following the release of Labyrinth in 1986, Jim Henson’s Creature Shop continues to be an enduring creative hub where performance and craftsmanship is paired with experimentation and ground-breaking technical innovation to transform the imaginary into reality.
