Im a history fan. A chance to see this historic studio complex is unequalled. Charlie Chaplin built it in 1917. A&M Records took it over in the mid-60s. Henson took it in the late 90s or 2000. Seeing Charlie Chaplins personal office was such a thrill. Very few tours are offered. Im one of the lucky ones!

A beautiful lot with historic qualities. Lovely to see all the different people, business, and productions that co-exist here. Worth checking out if you get the chance.

Fantastic and historic place! Best part of it though, exceeding the memorabilia - the Muppets, the iconic props, and standing in Chaplins footsteps - is Nathan and his music studio. Thank you for the great times, buddy.

The Charlie Chaplin prints are great and have me smiling. I just dont want to see a big frog on the top of a building. There should be a statue of Charlie Chaplin himself. Even if it is called The Jim Henson Studios. Even 2 statues with Charlie and Jim. Keep humanity alive please.

Ive been to nearly every studio in town and, while describing this as a studio lot is quite a liberal use of the word, its undoubtedly one of the most magical places in Hollywood. The Henson family made an excellent decision in purchasing the facility. The property is so delightfully quirky and charmingly strange that one half expects a muppet to come walking around every other corner. While its closed to the public, they do rent the place out for events and screenings and I would much rather spend an evening here than most other high end Hollywood destinations. Strangely, though you are surrounded by fiction, its one of the few places in the city that feels real.

Historic Place: Charlie Chaplin StudiosBuilt 1917, it was once owned and used by silent film actor, director and legend, Sir Charles Chaplin for motion pictures until his permanent departure from America in 1952.Amazing just standing there where Chaplin once stood! You can find his footprints and autograph on the steps near the front gate.

Horrible company. Leave the original labyrinth movie ALONE!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL HAVE A PETITION FOR THIS. THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THESE STUPID ACTORS OF TODAY SOCIETY CAN BE APART OF THIS FANTASTIC MOVIE FROM 1986. LET BOWIE REST IN PEACE. DO NOT REBOOT ALL HIS MOVIES IN TODAY ACTORS SOCIETY. THERES NO WAY. THE WORLD AINT DOING NOTHING LIKE THIS TO LEMMY FROM MOTORHEAD OR TO ALAN RICKMAN. SO LEAVE ALL BOWIE MOVIES ALONE!!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE FANS WHO ARE PUSHED OFF ABOUT THIS.
