We Went Behind The Gates Of The Jim Henson Company And It Was Freaking Awesome
Don’t worry, we tried to act cool.
On the corner of La Brea and Sunset you will find The Jim Henson Company, which rests on one of the most historic plots of land in all of Los Angeles.
The location was originally home to Charlie Chaplin Studios, where Chaplin filmed his iconic films like The Kid, The Gold Rush, and City Lights. As a tip of the cap to this history, the Kermit the Frog atop the entrance is dressed like Chaplin's famous "Little Tramp" character.

Later, the location was the home of A&M Records, where legendary artists such as The Rolling Stones, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Carole King, and all four Beatles recorded.
The door that originally lead into A&M Records can now be found in the lobby.

Since 1999 the historic spot has been home to The Jim Henson Company, and BuzzFeed was recently invited behind the gates to take a look around and see firsthand how they create their new animated series on PBS Kids, Splash and Bubbles.
