Lionsgate, Jim Henson Co. Partner

“Fraggle Rock” and “The Hobbs” are among more than 350 hours of Jim Henson Co. content Lionsgate has picked up for home entertainment, thanks to a multiyear distribution agreement announced Aug. 10.

Fraggle Rock: The Complete Final Season and Fraggle Rock: A Merry Fraggle Holiday will be the first releases for DVD, electronic sellthrough and VOD, in November.

“We relish the opportunity to be able to bring properties like ‘Fraggle Rock’ and ‘Emmet Otter’ into the home,” said by Anne Parducci, EVP of marketing and family entertainment for Lionsgate. “Adding The Jim Henson Company name to our extensive family library is a major coup for us.”

Lionsgate says it holds the No. 2 spot in children’s non-theatrical home entertainment, with a 17.6% market share. Peter Schube, president and COO of The Jim Henson Company, said the agreement offers an opportunity for broader exposure of new Henson titles, including “Sid the Science Kid” and “Dinosaur Train.”
