Disney to acquire Muppets from Jim Henson Co.

Guess "the Mouse" is hell-bent on taking another set of childhood icons down the drain with it.

Actually, Jim wanted Disney to buy the Muppets and his dream came true posthumously.

 

I know Jim Henson himself was negotiating with Disney to sell the Muppets around the time of his death.

 

Weren't the Muppets associated with The Mouse earlier, in the '90's?

Something like this was inevitable with Hensen gone. Better Disney than say, Larry Flynt!

Hmmmmm........Larry Flynt and the Muppets, now there's a rather nauseating thought.

The Muppets 3-D movie at Dsiney/MGM Studios is always one of the hgihlights of my Disney World trips! Well done 3-D and very funny.

 

Ever see Meet the Feebles? Great (albeit disgusting) movie about a Muppet-type TV show. I loved it even before I knew who Peter Jackson (who wrote and directed it) was!

Nope, never heard of it. I'll have to check it out though.
