Mattel Television (formerly Mattel Creations) is a British-American entertainment company owned by Mattel and was founded originally as Henson International Television and later HiT Entertainment, which was acquired by Mattel for $680 million in February 2012. Since the UK release of Extraordinary Engines until the last DVD release of Animal Adventures, DVDs bear the Mattel Creations name. The company produced Journey Beyond Sodor/twenty-first series until the twenty-fourth series.

On 8 February 2019, Mattel Creations was reorganized and renamed to Mattel Television. Despite its rebrand/rename back in March 2016, the company is still legally known as HIT Entertainment Limited.

In addition, by early 2020, Mattel Television moved from London to the newly established Porter Building in Slough, Berkshire.
