Jim Henson's Creature Shop Jim Henson's Creature Shop Jim Henson's Creature Shop is a special/visual effects company founded in 1979 by puppeteer Jim Henson, creator of The Muppets. The company is based out of Hollywood, California, United States, and then Camden Town in London, United Kingdom. Jim Henson's Creature Shop was originally created as a partnership with British illustrator Brian Froud to facilitate the production of "The Dark Crystal". Located in Hampstead, London, it received its name in order to differentiate it from Henson's original puppet workshop in New York City. It was then used for future films such as "Labyrinth" and "The Storyteller."
