More Jim Henson Company Programming Available On Amazon Prime
Some 2,500 hours of The Jim Henson Company’s programming is now available on Amazon Prime Video. Beginning today, the content, which includes specials and series, is offered in 68 English language territories including the U.S., Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and the Nordics, but much of the content is not available to U.S. users because of other licensing deals.
For example, the original five seasons of Fraggle Rock, as well as The Storyteller, The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss and Mother Goose Stories are part of the deal, but none is available to Prime Video members in the U.S. because of rights restrictions.
