    The Muppets are part of the Muppet Holding Company. Which although it is owned by Disney, it is quite detached too.

    The Muppets.com Countdown has begun

    I don't agree, although they will not have a press release, most companies when delaying a product after setting an exact date will explain why. No, they don't put out official statements, but they do explain themselves if asked. I have followed the releases of many DVDs, action figures, CDs...

    Who owns the rights to...

    I think it's a money thing. They might do it some day, but there is no real need - having shared rights is not a real problem for them, it's not that bad to deal with.

    Muppets' Wizard of Oz cast list

    Just cause she was not the first choice does not mean she woun't be great. In the MGM movie of The Wizard of Oz over 90% of the actors were not the first choice of the studio. A lot of time the first (or even second or third) choice is not avalible or unable to agree on a deal, that does not...
