Queen Prawn Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I can't believe the Henson kids sold the Muppets to Disney. Disney will now make cheap-ass movies and ruin what the Muppets are. :headshake Oh and if that damned mouse tries anything with the frog, pig or shrimp, I will be on him like white on rice. Grumble Grumble b**** Whine Complain. There, now I feel much better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Prawn Posted February 18, 2004 Author Share Posted February 18, 2004 Disney has had exclusive rights to the Muppets for almost 20 years. No, a company in Germany bought them after Jim died and the kids bought them back a few months ago. This just happened this morning.

Yahoo link talking about Disney Purchase Yes but Disney had exclusive rights to use the Muppets. There has been a Muppets attraction at Disney Studios since 1989. They may not have owned them but they had an agreement with the Hensen family which carried over when the Germany company owned them which allowed them to use the characters on merchandise, shows, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever, I still don't like it. Disney screws too much up and is bound to screw this up as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
