It's not a Henson vs. HIT thing. Disney would not let HIT use Kermit on their commercially released home-video product. Music/Character rights are tricky things. This is a film screening; the other was a commercial DVD release. Take for example "A Muppet Family Christmas" (or even The Muppet...

In April 2008 the four-year consulting arrangement with the Jim Henson Co. will end. Until April 2008, Disney is obligated to work with Henson to get strategic advice on the use of the characters. This was to help keep the character integrity intact for the transition and to help the new people...

The deal includes a four-year consulting arrangement with the Jim Henson Co. to provide strategic advice on the use of the characters and a three-year production deal to develop movies and television shows. However the terms of the partnership could be extended if both parties agree.

There is a new episode every two weeks. The date for the "next episode" is listed on the site.

Henson is not banned from showing Muppet stuff at their events. At the SLC event with Brian Henson last month featured screenings of The Muppet Christmas Carol, and Muppets Tonight; however Henson is trying to distance themselves from the Muppets right now. They are trying to get out from under...

Final Features Listing I was able to get in contact with William Merchan, the brand manager of Buena Vista Home Entertainment, last week. He gave me the final list of features for each disc (see below). He said that many things they wanted to include (such as the past bonus features from the...

As your lawyer, that is exactly what I would have told you to do. ;)

Either Disney has to team up with Sony (not likely); or they have to buy out Sony's part (somewhat likely); or they films won't get a home video treatment.

Jim Henson's Animal Jam arrived on DVD in May with two different discs ("Springin'" and "Hug-A-Day"). Now, two more DVD's of the show will be released early next year. HIT Entertainment is planning to release two more Animal Jam titles: "Let's Jam Together" and "Shake a Leg". Both DVDs are...

Sony can't do that. Disney owns part of the productions. When Disney bought the Muppets, they got the Henson Company’s part of the ownership in all the film (Henson owned part, Sony owned part). Disney had the option to buy Sony’s portion if they wanted too and own the productions in full. But...

As they say on the DVD, it was due to time restraints on the networks that aired it in the '80s and '90s. As commercial time increased program time decreased and things were edited along the way, at some point the older master was abandoned. They may not be one of the top 5, but they are in the...
