The Muppets are an American puppet ensemble created by Jim Henson, originating as a media franchise that spans television, film, music, and related platforms. Known for their comedic approach blending physical humor, absurdist sensibility, and self-aware entertainment, the characters became central to variety-sketch programming. Initially developed under the Jim Henson Company, the Muppets franchise transitioned to ownership by the Walt Disney Company in 2004, which subsequently formed the Muppets Studio to manage the characters' ongoing development and appearances across media.
