O’BANNON PREVIOUSLY ON FARSCAPE: The portal to Grey Space opened for the first time in twenty-five cycles. The Grennij, shock troops for a more powerful force, have come through and are cutting a swath through the Uncharted Territories. Having joined forces with another Leviathan crewed by expatriate Peacekeepers, the gang on Moya has traced the Grennij to a Commerce Planet where they are purchasing arms…from Commandant Grayza, supreme commander of the Peacekeepers! However, attempts to dissuade Grayza from dealing with the Grennij fall on deaf ears, and Crichton, Aeryn, Noranti (who has recently transformed herself into a teenager, as is normal for Traskans), Captain Zobrek, and Lieutenant Kirlix are taken prisoner. Meanwhile, Chiana left Moya in a transport pod in order to find Roiin, the bounty hunter who's after Deke…but who is also Chiana's kreshta, the one true love of her life. Story: ROCKNE S.

Building American Puppetry on the Jim Henson Foundation
BUILDING AMERICAN PUPPETRY ON THE JIM HENSON FOUNDATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Kathleen Stoessner, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Examination Committee: Approved by Dr. Joy Reilly, Adviser Dr. Beth Kattelman Adviser Dr. Alan Woods Graduate Program in Theatre Copyright by Jennifer Kathleen Stoessner 2008 ABSTRACT Historically the United States, with the exception of ritual performances by indigenous Americans, did not have a distinct puppetry tradition, utilizing instead the imported techniques of its immigrant population. In the twentieth century, puppeteers began to explore puppetry’s capabilities, producing challenging and innovative theatrical work in a distinctly American style. Puppetry was given a stage as popular broadcasting content on the newly invented television. In this media environment, Jim Henson pioneered new techniques, becoming the most famous puppeteer in history. His success enabled him to serve his field as a spokesman and sponsor. In 1982, he established the Jim Henson Foundation, a non-profit organization to support puppetry artists. The Jim Henson Foundation is the only organization in the United States devoted to funding puppet theater and its mission reflects Jim Henson’s commitment to the community of artists who make American puppetry the vivid panorama it has become. Without the Foundation, puppetry in the United States would not be experiencing the explosion of creativity and exposure it currently enjoys. To present a picture of puppetry in the United States and Henson’s work, a brief history of puppetry in America as well as an in-depth scrutiny of Jim Henson’s career is provided.

William Morrow Announces the Forthcoming Publication Of
WILLIAM MORROW ANNOUNCES THE FORTHCOMING PUBLICATION OF MIRRORMASK A Jim Henson Company Production Written by Neil Gaiman/Directed by Dave McKean OCTOBER 6, 2004 From Neil Gaiman, the New York Times bestselling author of American Gods, and Dave McKean, the award-winning illustrator of Coraline, comes MIRRORMASK, an upcoming Jim Henson Company film written by Gaiman and directed by McKean, slated to premiere in 2005. Merrilee Heifetz of Writers House, acting as agent for Gaiman, McKean, and The Jim Henson Company, negotiated a book deal with HarperCollinsPublishers for two MIRRORMASK projects. MIRRORMASK, an oversized, beautifully designed volume, containing the complete script and storyboards, and augmented by notes and observations by the creators, as well as full-color art from the film, will be published in the summer of 2005 by William Morrow/An Imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers. A MIRRORMASK picture book for younger readers, also written by Gaiman and illustrated with art from the movie, will also be published by HarperCollins Children's Books not long after. Destined to become a classic for fans of Gaiman, cinema, and fantasy alike, MIRRORMASK tells the story of Helena, a fifteen- year-old girl who works for her family’s circus. Helena juggles, sells popcorn, and wishes that she could run away from the circus and join the "real world." Then, one day she wakes up to find herself in a magical world filled with fantastic beings and creatures, an alternate reality. It is a land of opposing kingdoms, one perpetually existing in light, the other in constant darkness. These lands have existed in perfect balance, until now.

Long Submitted to the Comparative Media Studies Program on May 11, 2007 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Comparative Media Studies Abstract Transmedia narratives use a combination of Barthesian hermeneutic codes, negative capability and migratory cues to guide audiences across multiple media platforms. This thesis examines complex narratives from comics, novels, films and video games, but draws upon the transmedia franchises built around Jim Henson’s Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal to provide two primary case studies in how these techniques can be deployed with varying results.

(collectively, “STX” or “Defendants”), by its undersigned counsel, alleges as follows, based upon knowledge as to its own acts and upon information and belief as to all others: INTRODUCTION 1. Sesame seeks to enjoin Defendants’ deliberate effort to appropriate its SESAME STREET mark, and its trusted brand and goodwill, to promote their R-rated movie, The Happytime Murders, by Deadlineway of a violent and sexually-explicit trailer. SESAME STREET is a registered trademark of Sesame, an organization with a long and storied history of “helping kids grow smarter, stronger and kinder.” Defendants’ widely-distributed marketing campaign features a just-released trailer with explicit, profane, drug-using, misogynistic, violent, copulating, and even ejaculating puppets,1 along with the tagline “NO SESAME. ALL 1 See https://youtu.be/-eks8LG72uo. 3354927.2 Case 1:18-cv-04597-VSB Document 1 Filed 05/24/18 Page 2 of 25 STREET.” Defendants do not own, control or have any right to use the SESAME STREET mark. Instead, they are distributing a trailer that deliberately confuses consumers into mistakenly believing that Sesame is associated with, has allowed, or has even endorsed or produced the movie and tarnishes Sesame’s brand.
