Making Your Favorite Kids Series - A Look Inside

Did you know The Jim Henson Company has produced over 500 episodes of animated television?

A couple of weeks ago, we hosted the first Henson Family Hub Series Summit event at The Jim Henson Company lot. From Julie’s Greenroom to Dinosaur Train, we invited guests to peek behind the curtain and hear what goes into making a Henson production. The Henson Family Hub Series Summit included panel discussions with the show creators and producers as well as the series’ curriculum advisors.

Panel Moderator & Show Producers (L to R):  Nicole Goldman, Halle Stanford, Craig Bartlett, Alex Rockwell, and John Tartaglia discussing our preschool shows at the first Henson Family Hub Series Summit. 

Guests heard Craig Bartlett (Dinosaur Train), John Tartaglia (Splash and Bubbles), and Alex Rockwell (Pajanimals, Word Party) talk about what inspired them to create their hit shows. Curriculum advisors Johanna McKay (Julie’s Greenroom), Moises Roman (Sid the Science Kid, Dinosaur Train, Splash and Bubbles), and Yalda T. Uhls (Dot.) also shared their favorite moments from working on the series.
