Well they did close the one in California.

Not to mention the fact that his New York Creature Shop was in a constant battle with the London shop.

I don't know, don't get me wrong I love the Henson family, but I feel that they really abandoned the Muppets. I don't know why they did, but they did.

So yes Jim's original deal between Disney would have been great. It would have inculcate Fraggle Rock and all other projects as well. With the Exception of the Sesame, which Jim was very protective of Sesame, because he knew that if Disney had a hand in it, that the show would be ruined...

The deal with Jim and Disney was supposed to be different then the current situation. Henson would have still have some creative control. With this new deal Disney owns everything and controls everything creative wise.

Its becoming more clear why he was fired. He was, in fact, fighting for the integrity of the muppets, which makes me even more upset at Disney.

I feel really bad for Matt. He is going to have a very tough road ahead of him. It was different when he was Caroll's and Jerry's understudy. Unless he was also Steve's witch seems unlikely. As for the negative reaction, it's already starting to show.

Sorry for double posting but the petion now has 744 signatures! At the very least this is going to show Disney that we care.

Oh yea each passing day this story just keeps getting bigger!

No the site is still up! I had to refresh the page a few times, but the page is still up!

I want to make it clear that I have the upmost faith in Matt, and that he will do and do a great job with Kermit. It's just not his time, and Steve should still be the man who is behind the frog. I don't want peole to think I don't support Matt because I do it's just not his time.

If Matt is anything like I think he is. Disney may end up having some of the same problems with him as they did with Steve.

whoa that's quite a big leap in the span of a few hours.

if that blog is really from Steve then it's a much bigger picture then him just preforming Kermit. It seems that he was the one who was "fighting the good fight" for the Muppets. I don't think that that is something to take lightly.

And then there's this: http://muppethub.com/three-thoughts-on-kermit/

Well that maybe true, but as a dedicated fan of The Muppets, and of Jim Henson I personally can not sit by, and let this happen. Steve has done so much for The Muppets, and the fans that we have to do something. Sure a small online petition is not going to get the job done, but right now thats...

I fully intend to continue my support for the Muppets! However this is truning out more and more to be Disney vs. Steve. I just checked the online petition at change.org and since last night it has 335 signatures. Which is not bad, but also could be a whole lot better. Again it surprises me...

Here ya go the war has begun! https://www.change.org/p/the-walt-disney-company-make-steve-whitmire-a-muppet-again/psf/promote_or_share?share=true

I was watching The Muppets Take Manhattan today, and I kind of think that the way Steve has been since Jim's untimely death is the way Kermit was with selling the show. I think since the very beginning Disney has had some kind of plan for the Muppets, and Steve knowing these characters the way...
