	THE DARK CRYSTAL - SUPERBIT DVD
		When Jim Henson passed away in 1990, he left behind diverse legions of fans and a company whose ultimate success, it now seems, hinged on his input.
		Jim Henson Productions and The Creature Shop are still thriving financially, but as the past few Muppet films (or that silly-looking computer-generated monkey from Lost In Space) demonstrate, the thrill and genius are gone.
		The Dark Crystal is also the first and last Henson feature to capture the sensuality of his craft--there's an almost carnal fluidity to the puppetry, which is as mesmerizing as you've heard; the proverbial strings are out of mind from the prologue, narrated, incidentally, with stentorian pride by John Baddeley.

	MWP: Jim Henson (1936-1990)
		Henson’s success on Sesame Street paved the way for his next television production, The Muppet Show, a weekly syndicated variety show hosted by Kermit the Frog with an expanded cast of both new and familiar muppets and guest starring live actors and celebrities.
		Jim Henson’s The Storyteller and Jim Henson’s Greek Myths were original series conceived by Henson to convey the metaphoric richness of ancient stories.

		Henson plans to support the release of its film with a merchandising program, including licensed products depicting scenes and/or characters from the movie, and already has contracted to place Muppet Treasure Island vignettes on food, candy, and cereal boxes.
		Viewed against the backdrop of Henson's transparent parodic intent and the contextual dissimilarity between the two marks, it is clear that use of the name "Spa'am" does not blur Hormel's mark.
		Although we agree with the substantive conclusions of the district court, we disagree with the district court's footnote statement that, because Henson was delaying its merchandising use of Spa'am pending a favorable decision concerning the purported use, the court's "view" was in effect dictum.

		Hormel Foods charged Jim Henson Productions with trademark infringement and dilution based on Henson's planned use of a character called "Spa'am"2 in the movie Muppet Treasure Island as well as in related merchandise.
		Henson's "lack of subtlety" in his parody was interpreted as evidence that no deceit was intended, and no evidence of bad faith was found.16
		In looking at the quality of the products, the court held that since the district court found Spa'am to be a "positive character [and] that he is not unhygienic"17 it is unlikely that a simple comic reference to the fact that SPAM is made from pork will damage its image.18
