===Background===
===Background===
'''Jim Henson Home Entertainment''' (formerly '''Jim Henson Video''') was the home video banner of [[The Jim Henson Company]], established in 1991 after the company made a video distribution deal with the Walt Disney Company. Their titles were initially distributed by [[Buena Vista Home Entertainment|Buena Vista Home Video]]. After forming [[Jim Henson Pictures]], the company began releasing their videos through [[Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment]], before moving to [[HIT Entertainment]] following the Henson family's repurchase of the Jim Henson Company from [[EM.TV & Merchandising AG|EM.TV & Merchandising]]. Around 2009 or 2010, the Jim Henson Home Entertainment name was quietly retired, due to the company now simply crediting itself on later home video releases.
'''Jim Henson Home Entertainment''' was formed in 1997 when [[The Jim Henson Company]] signed a home video distribution deal with [[Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment|Columbia TriStar Home Video]]. This deal replaced the prior deal the company had with [[Buena Vista Home Entertainment]] to operate the [[Jim Henson Video]] deal.
 
The label moved to [[HIT Entertainment]] following the Henson family's repurchase of the Jim Henson Company from [[EM.TV & Merchandising AG|EM.TV & Merchandising]] and their five-year deal with HIT. Around 2009 or 2010, the Jim Henson Home Entertainment name was quietly retired, due to the company now simply crediting itself on later home video releases.

'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|blue}} background, there is the green "{{color|lime|'''''Jim Henson'''''}}" signature writing itself. Below it, the word "{{color|red|'''VIDEO'''}}" in spaced out letters, with a {{color|red}} line above it, fades in underneath.
'''Variants:'''
* The original North American variant has <u>"VIDEO" spaced out more, and the red line reaches to the "J"</u>.
* There is a still variant of this logo that features the white words <u>"DISTRIBUTED BY BUENA VISTA HOME VIDEO"</u> appearing at the bottom of the screen. This can be found on early 1993 tapes usually after the "Available on Jim Henson Records" bumper. In the UK, this variant was spotted on the ''Muppet Babies'' tapes as they were taken from the United States prints of the VHS tapes.
**On several demo tapes, the byline is <u>scaled larger than usual</u>, thus having the logo positioned higher than usual like the British bumpers.
* On <u>the coming soon version of the ''Muppet Sing-Alongs: Billy Bunny's Animal Songs'' trailer</u>, the white text "''Coming This Summer''" appears below the still logo.
* A variant has been discovered where <u>the Jim Henson signature is written in {{color|red}}</u>.
* A variant also exists where <u>the logo animates like normal but off-center, and "NOW AVAILABLE" fades in below</u>.
* A <u>2nd Buena Vista Home Video byline variant</u> is found where the red Jim Henson Video signature variant is used over the standard variant.
* An variant exists where "VIDEO" is green, and it fades in a bit slower than usual.
'''Technique:''' 2D animation.
'''Audio:''' A slowed-down variant of the 1991 [[Walt Disney Home Video]] theme.
'''Audio Variants:'''
* On <u>VHS releases of ''Muppet Babies''</u>, the end theme to the show itself is used.
*The <u>Red Jim Henson signature variant</u> uses a low pitched variant of the early 1989? Walt Disney Home Video theme.
*The <u>Green "VIDEO" variant</u> uses the early 1989? Walt Disney Home Video theme, only this time it's not low pitched.
'''Availability:'''
* It appears at the end of early Jim Henson Video VHS and Laserdisc releases by [[Buena Vista Home Entertainment|Buena Vista Home Video]] from 1992 to 1996. Apart from the promos featured, this doesn't appear at the beginning, as the [[Jim Henson Productions]] logo is used instead.
* The US VHS releases of ''The Muppet Christmas Carol'' and ''Muppet Treasure Island'' also don't have it.
* It was also seen on the promotional video for Jim Henson Video on the demo VHS tape of ''The Muppet Movie''.
