Fraggle Rock and Columbia Tristar

[The Storyteller]

Did Columbia and Henson make/develop Fraggle Rock, or was it just Henson?

I think it was Henson although Columbia Tristar do own the rights to a number of Henson productions, I'm not sure how its all changed since Disney bought the muppets etc.

Does anyone know?

Acording to the credits it's Henson & Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. But that's just the credit from the US version, I belive the uk, french & german version were co-produced by the tv stations that showed them.

That contract has expired so all the releases from Columbia/Tristar will be gone as soon as the stock is sold out. I know this as a fact as I'm still looking for "The Great Muppet Caper" DVD. The places I normaly get my DVD's from can't get it anymore.

I'm confused! If Columbia did all the muppet movies, except Muppet Chirstmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island. Does Disney also get the rights to those films made by Columbia?

Yes. Colombia/Tristar had a distrubition contract with Henson for the muppet movies. As far as I know Colombia has not owned the rights to those movies.
