Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and HIT Ent. have inked a multi-million dollar, multi-year agreement that gives Fox exclusive marketing, sales and distribution rights to HIT’s library of children’s television programming in the U.S. and Canada. Fox will begin distributing such HIT hits as Bob the Builder, Barney, Angelina Ballerina and Thomas & Friends this fall.
Fox will now perform all of the business functions previously handled by HIT Ent.’s U.S. home entertainment division. Other HIT titles being handled by Fox under the deal include all of The Jim Henson Company’s ‘Henson Family Classics,’ including Fraggle Rock and Animal Jam, for which HIT serves as U.S. agent for home entertainment, licensing and merchandising.
