rdfs:comment

HIT Entertainment is a production company/distributing company that was founded in 1983 and originally the international distribution arm of Jim Henson Productions called Henson I'nternational Television (later reincorperated as "HiT Communications plc."). However, following the death of Jim Henson in 1990, the business was sold to several members of the company's management, led by Peter Orton, and recorporated to its current name to prevent any future confusion between the two companies. Among the properties it owns several. HiT was originally formed as Henson International Television (hit!) in 1983 as a branch of the Jim Henson Company in order to coordinate the co-production of Fraggle Rock in London. This subsidiary was later sold and retains none of the original Henson company architecture except for the name. It later re-branded itself as "HiT Entertainment". On 1 February 2012, it was announced that Mattel purchased HiT Entertainment from Apax Partners for $680 million. Hit Entertainment is a Proudicton for the shows called Thomas and Friends, Bob the Builder, Barney and Friends, Pingu, Fireman Sam, Disability Challengers Farnham (TV Series), Adventures Of Challengers, and Postman Pat, All of Them.

Hit entertainment 1983-2022 HIT Entertainment is a children's company.
