Sesame Street

Sesame Street is an American preschool-education TV program distributed by Sesame Workshop, formerly known as Children's Television Workshop. This show features Muppet characters from the Jim Henson Company and a bunch of animated and live-action segments.

From 1994 to 2008, Sony Wonder produced Sesame Street home video and audio products.

Many new titles were introduced into the Sesame Street line of home video and audio, and most would be rereleased thereafter by other distributors. A few audio releases are rebranded versions of albums previously released by Columbia Records, Sesame Street Records and Golden Music. Sony Kids Video also reissued many videos that had been released by Random House Home Video. The label also released two volumes of Dog City, as well as the soundtrack from Muppets from Space.

In 2007, after Genius Entertainment gained the video distribution rights to Sesame Street, Sony Kids Video was nearly shut down since 1990. in order to focus on its core music business. Instead, ownership was transferred to Sony's main home video division, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Under this new ownership, Sony's final video releases of The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss, which were repackaged box sets of earlier DVDs, carried the label.
