Jim Henson Pictures was a short-lived brand name for films produced by The Jim Henson Company to be released by Columbia Pictures.
Under the original deal, inked in 1995, the Henson company undertook to produce around twelve films for Columbia, which would finance and distribute them, over a five year period. They had many ideas, including plans to do several Muppet movies. Ultimately, only three films were made under the Jim Henson Pictures banner.
The following films used the Jim Henson Pictures logo:
•Buddy (1997)
•Muppets from Space (1999)
•The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland (1999)
The logo version in Muppets from Space featured Kermit the Frog at a movie camera. The camera crane drops, making him jump. The voice of Animal is heard, saying "Sorry." Kermit glares back at the audience and says "Sheesh."
Trimmed versions appeared in Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland and Buddy, as well as in home video releases of The Muppet Movie and The Great Muppet Caper from 2001 onward.
