The Walt Disney Company and The Jim Henson Company signed an agreement for Disney to buy the "Muppets" and "Bear in the Big Blue House" franchises, including all worldwide production, distribution and merchandising rights in February 2004. The Jim Henson Company retains other works, such as Dinosaurs, Farscape, Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Fraggle Rock, and Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Sesame Street is now owned by Sesame Workshop. The Jim Henson Company still provides the characters used on Sesame Street, but those characters and the show itself are actually owned and run by Sesame Workshop, a 501(c)(3).
