SESAME WORKSHOP
December 16, 2005
Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit group that produces the children’s television program Sesame Street, has licensed the show to international affiliates in France, India, Japan, and other countries, to financial success, reports The New York Times. The exported shows have been made over to create new characters that appeal to different countries. For example, the French version, “5, Rue Sésame,” replaces Big Bird with Nac, an oversized yellow muppet with a large nose who was created with the approval of a psychologist.
