Henson Company Puts Historic Chaplin Studios Lot Up for Sale

The move aims to consolidate operations with its Burbank-based Creature Shop, marking the end of an era for the iconic Hollywood location.

  • The studio has been the company's headquarters since 2000, featuring unique spaces ideal for the Muppets.
  • The lot has a rich history, previously serving as Charlie Chaplin Studios and A&M Studios.
  • The sale is part of a strategy to unify the company's operations in a single location.
  • Disney acquired the rights to the Muppets in 2004, but the Henson family continues to run the company.
  • A 12-foot statue of Kermit the Frog as Chaplin's Tramp character stands as a tribute to the site's legacy.
