Well, points 4 and 5 speak for themselves, don't they?

The Letter from Roy Disney to Michael Eisner: Mr. Michael D. Eisner, Chairman The Walt Disney Company 500 South Buena Vista Street Burbank, CA 91521 Dear Michael: It is with deep sadness and regret that I send you this letter of resignation from the Walt Disney Company, both as...

CBS MarketWatch article Roy Disney resigns, blasts Eisner By CBS MarketWatch Last Update: 11:06 PM ET Nov. 30, 2003 LOS ANGELES (CBS.MW) -- Roy E. Disney, vice chairman of the Walt Disney Co. and nephew of the company's founder, resigned from its board of directors Sunday and said...

Right...here's what Henson.com said when I asked them (and maybe others did it too): Thanks for your interest in The Jim Henson Company. During this time of transition public information can often be confusing, so we avoid responding to speculation and rumors about our company or its...

Good points, but 'til now I've always had the "business is business" attitude and Henson must have its reasons (even with the stupid EM.TV deal), but my God, the NY office has become a casualty. And Henson does not even have the courtesy to issue a statement or press release or, come to think of...

Good point, I guess it's what kind of deal you have. Compare the Fox/Lucas arrangement to, say, Disney and Pixar. I know the Pixar people would like to have a deal like that.

Well, Henson's been based in LA since '90/91. Jim was moving his HQ to LA during the Disney deal anyway, but I know what you mean. But man, Henson closing the NY townhouse is like Disney closing its whole Burbank lot. It's just gotta be like a museum or a HQ for the JH Legacy or Foundation or...

Wow, 5 months and nine days after the last post. You must've been bored. ;)

Well, IF this is true: Oh. My. GOD. See, I'm so mad I even said the Lord's name in vain. How can they CLOSE the NY office? With the staircase, and the mural, and the Bert and Ernie window, that's the physical SYMBOL of the Henson Company to me. Heck, I wanted to work there one day, even as a...

While I'm not particularly anti-remake, you know what Henson should do? They should use one of those other movie ideas that have been floating around (Haunted House, Time Travel) and convert THOSE into telefilms. It seems obvious that there won't be a theatrical Muppet film at this point (seems...

Yeah, it seems that the "new Jim Henson Company" approach is to just CREATE and not finance or distribute their own stuff. Of course they've done that with their movies, but does this mean all the stuff Henson makes from now on, including the TV shows, will be OWNED by other companies? Because...

LOL. The weird thing is, years ago Nickelodeon and (The) Disney Channel were THE places for Muppet productions and fit well with everything else on the channels. Of course in the past few years, Nick and Disney Channel have changed dramatically. So it'd be interesting to see where any Muppet...

Just a correction: For making five long sentences look like five long paragraphs I mean. Henson is a "family" company that makes a lot of "kiddie" stuff. With the classic Muppets, who aren't purely preschool characters, just DON'T put them on some Playhouse Disney show, assuming Disney were...

Once again, I hand it to Phil for making five long sentences look like five long sentences. ;)

My 800th message! Dang, not only film and home video distribution, but also TV AND merchandising? Looks like the only thing Disney and Viacom are not trying to do is BUY the company!

Cool with me, baby. :D

Oh stop being a wussy. I don't even celebrate my birthday and I turned out OK. Hmm, has anybody seen my pants? :sympathy: --end scene--

I looked it up and ankle refers to: that part around your foot. So don't really know how it applies to Rivkin. I guess it means something our puny minds cannot even begin to grasp. Ankle.

So that was HIM! What people do to revitalize a franchise... :crazy:
