CGI characters on Sesame Street

[mupcollector1]

I noticed on the current episodes, there's more CGI characters. Is The Jim Henson Creature Shop creating that with the Henson Digital Puppetry System they've created (like what's used in Sid the Science Kid) or is it a different company that's doing all that.

If you mean like Abby's Flying Fairy School, I think it's another company.

I thought it was Rickey Boyd's work at first, because it looked a lot like his Rhubarb the Grouch character he did for A SESAME STREET CHRISTMAS CAROL, but it turned out that I was mistaken.

I need to grab the 40 years book and look, because they mention who does the AFFS entries.

I don't recall the name, but some other company does the AFFS material.

All the rest is done by Magnetic Dreams, which is the company Rickey Boyd works for that D'Snowth mentioned.
