* FriendlyEnemies: They have steady competition with [[Creator/StanWinston Stan Winston Studios]] in the practical effects market. Outside of this however, both have expressed admiration for each other's work and the Henson Company even follows them on Instagram.

Added DiffLines:

* [[HeAlsoDid They Also Did]]: outside of film and television, the Creature Shop has also provided additional work for other projects.
** The Shop is credited with providing character designs for the 2016 animated movie ''WesternAnimation/RockDog''.
** They're also responsible for fabricating [[Music/Deadmau5 Deadmau5's]] iconic mouse helmet along with its variations.
** They were commissioned by Music/LadyGaga to create the life-sized horse puppet she rode on for her "Monster Ball" and "Born This Way" Tours.

!!Tropes Associated With Jim Henson's Creature Shop Include:
[[index]]
* AllCGICartoon: While the studio had experimented with digital effects in the past, it wasn't until ''WesternAnimation/SidTheScienceKid'' that the Creature Shop would pursue computer animation alongside puppet fabrication.
* FriendlyFandoms:
** Fans of the Creature Shop are also fond of [[https://www.puppetheap.shop/ Puppet Heap]], who they occasionally share puppetry and fabrication duties with on Muppet-related projects for Creator/{{Disney}}.
** They also have some crossover with Creator/IndustrialLightAndMagic, due to their reputations for visually striking creature designs and imaginatively high concept fantasy projects. It certainly helps that they collaborated together on the cult classic 80s film ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}''.
* OlderThanYouThink:
**The first cartoon to be animated using digital puppetry was the obscure [[Creator/{{CartoonNetwork}} Cartoon Network's]] series ''WesternAnimation/TheMoxyShow'', which premiered 15 years before Sid the Science Kid was made.
** Henson himself was already experimenting with digital puppetry back in the early 90's with ''Ride/MuppetVision3D'', which had an animated character created with this method named Waldo C. Graphic.
* PracticalEffects: They're one of the biggest pioneers of the medium, and even with their formation of a CG unit they don't plan to abandon this practice anytime soon.
* ProductionPosse: Outside of the Henson Company, they're also the go-to puppet fabricators for Creator/SesameWorkshop.
* PuppetShow: Given how they're a division of The Jim Henson Company, it makes sense that a bulk of their work is for these types of shows.
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Several of the Creature Shop's pet projects have been either stuck in development hell or flat out cancelled due to the popularity of CGI and the expensive, time consuming process with producing realistic puppetry.
