Notes

  1. ↑ The film's distribution rights were purchased by The Jim Henson Company from ITC Entertainment in August 1984. [1] Currently, Universal Pictures handles theatrical distribution in the United States and internationally (including the United Kingdom [2] ) due to prior contractual obligations with the former Associated Film Distribution and ITC, but the film’s ownership and copyright are controlled by The Jim Henson Company.
