This one actually is understandable (and partially right), but it still made me cringe a little when someone called MTI a Disney movie...

And then someone talking about how the Muppets were the best idea that Disney ever created...

That one does make sense in a lot of ways, actually. One being that he originally didn't have the collar, and another as he is often wearing clothes with no collar to be found anywhere...

I'm confused now. If you are saying that, why did it come to your surprise that someone wondered how he takes off his collar? :confused:

Muppet Treasure Island IS Disney movie, back in 1996, Henson Co. and Disney signed a deal and made the movie together (kinda like what Disney was doing with Pixar before they bought them,)

The second thing really gets me annoyed too, I never heard anyone say that, but hearing that you heard someone say that just gets on my nerves. :grouchy:

Two things:

1. That's interesting...I never realized that...

2. Either way, it still makes me cringe a little, as I have the feeling that the person thought that it was a Disney movie in the same way that a Pooh movie would be...

Because it was in a video that had to do with Jim Henson talking about The Dark Crystal. Kermit wasn't in the video at all nor did it have anything to do with The Muppets. It was just so random. Guess I should've clarified that more.
