Jim Henson and his creature shops on both sides of the Atlantic (though sadly the UK one is no more) have, over the years, been responsible for some of the most affecting and memorable visual effects in cinema history. Even since the tragic sudden death of their founder in 1990 the Jim Henson Company has continued to contribute to film and TV, creating the effects for others’ projects and commissioning their own productions to this day. In addition to the phenomenal success of The Muppets franchise (with the recent movie no exception), the puppetry experts have also created some of the weirdest and darkest creature designs in sci-fi and fanstasy with films like The Dark Crystal and shows like Farscape.
Usual deal, 12 pictures below, and all we need are the titles of the shows or films that these guys starred in.
