As a lifelong gamer and avid Muppet fan, I can confidently say that the news of The Jim Henson Company studio lot potentially falling into the hands of the Church of Scientology was as unsettling as a level boss you just couldn’t beat.
It’s common knowledge that The Muppets are more favorably viewed than the Church of Scientology, with one enjoying widespread approval and the other facing significant disapproval. This stark contrast in public sentiment sparked concern when a recent report suggested a potential connection between the two entities. Last week, Jeff Sneider of The InSneider reported that The Jim Henson Company was considering selling its studio lot on La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles to the Church of Scientology. However, fear not for Miss Piggy, as the Jim Henson Company has clarified that such a sale is not imminent.
The deadline arrived and it was revealed that the report stated The Jim Henson Company’s lot might be purchased by the Church of Scientology. Although the well-known studio is being sold, The Jim Henson Company made an announcement, acknowledging the Church of Scientology as one of the potential buyers.
Regarding recent speculations about the sale of La Brea studio lot, it’s important to clarify that the Henson family has no current business relationships with the Church of Scientology. Moreover, the Church of Scientology is not being considered as a possible purchaser of the property. The Henson family plans to relocate The Jim Henson Company and Jim Henson’s Creature Shop to a new shared location, but at present, they are not engaged in any real estate transactions with a buyer.
As a gaming enthusiast residing in LA, I’ve noticed that the Church of Scientology boasts quite a few notable real estate properties around town. However, according to Deadline, there’s been a denial from within the church about any ongoing talks regarding these properties.
In 1999, the Henson family acquired the renowned studio lot and it has been the company’s primary location ever since. It is important to note that Disney, who holds the rights to The Muppets but not the entire Jim Henson Company, does not own this lot. The entrance of the studio showcases a tribute to its rich history and current status, with a statue of Kermit depicting Charlie Chaplin’s iconic Tramp character. This is a reference to the original name of the studio, Charlie Chaplin Studios, which dates back to 1917.
It’s unclear who will eventually purchase the Jim Henson Company studio lot. However, fans of The Muppets can rest assured that it probably won’t be rebranded as anything associated with L. Ron Hubbard in the near future.
