Dr. Tooth writes... >>>And as for Pixar ditching Disney, I dunno. I mean, on one hand, it's a good way to stick it to the mouse. On the other hand, they won't make as much money off their features. (Plus, they can't hide Toy Story, Bug's Life, or Monsters Inc characters in the background...

SIZE=1](*being slightly sarcastic and NOT endorsing pot or coccaine--that stuff lead to the death of John Belushi, and can kill you, too[/SIZE] actually it was more booze and cocaine, please, let's leave marijuana out of this:D Back to the subject at hand. I don't know what to think...

Raisin here's one of the most unfortunate thing about that new article in retrospect... < Sources said Saban believed the Henson characters had deteriorated under EM.TV. The German company bought the Henson company from the Henson family three years ago for $680 million. "They completely...

Sorry Chilly Down no offense intended and as I can tell none too seriously taken. Again apologies friend Boy Raisin, about the therepy, you have no idea. I'm starting to look less like myself and more like what happens when bunsen and beaker have a baby.

Why is it that most of the posts in this thread, save for a few from the usuals who seem to possess a level of understanding, have not yet grasped the main point of the news, namely... DISNEY IS NOT IN TALKS TO BUY JHC DISNEY IS IN TALKS TO BUY THE LIBRARY AND THE MUPPET CHARACTERS...

You know maybe you guys are right. Disney is the best place for the Muppets. After all look how supportive they were of Muppets Tonight when it was on their ABC network, they advertised the h*** out of it and gave it ample time to grow and gain an audience by leaving it in a great timeslot...

Those of you rooting for Dis have failed to understand this news. Disney does NOT want to buy Henson. They want to buy the Movies and the rights to the Muppet characters. What is going to happen to the rest of the company when this goes through? What about the other shows in production...

I find it odd that although they didn't lose that much, they haven't tried to get the company back as a rich million dollar family. Dissappointing.

I just want something to go through, as I fear we're running out of time, and our furry friends may lose their momentum. If this company dies I thinks it more than fair to blame both EM.TV and the family, though I doubt the family knew what they were getting into. Heck, even I thought it...

go f***ing figure. as for the lotto, I had that hope myself during the december powerball. f*** Valentine, I would have offered more than that, and I probably have better ideas. they need creators, not suits

If Disney buys the Muppets - think of what they could do with the characters in conjunction with Pixar. Boggles the mind... ____________________________________________________ Actually no it doesn't considering Pixar is leaving Disney in a few films. Personally I can't wait, due to the...

I disagree with the scooter opinion. though I don't know that scooter of 1975 would do it, I think you really need to put a character of his age in a more modern situation. I think he would. Youth culture.

Luke, as stated in another post, this isn't a bad day at all. Heck the Nov 29 day isn't all bad. "The Santa Clause 2" was released Nov 1. now that's early. But Christmas basically begins right after the close of thanksgiving. This is usually the night my fam puts up the tree. I'm looking...

no serious offence dr tooth, just some playful ribbing, but why am I not surprised that the same guy who thinks a disney buyout is a good idea thinks that a toy story 3 is a good idea. why do movies have to have sequels. unless they're top notch I say let the originals be classics instead of...

two nates from wisconsin, one dan from wisconsin, and just a short jump from nate in appleton. mmm, scenic oshkosh, scenic fox valley. ************ wisconsin.

boyraisin says... Yes. Bean has the right idea. That was what I've been hoping for since early 2001. Those are the things Disney could do for Henson, and what Henson could actually do for Henson. __________________________________________________ Wake up man, if Disney owns Henson...

News from Variety 10/13/02___ This in variety Posted: Sun., Oct. 13, 2002, 12:31pm PT EM.TV says Henson is still in play Company considering many options, sez spokeman BERLIN -- German kidvidder EM.TV has denied rumors that a deal with billionaire producer Haim Saban for the...

thoughts on the stage.... I would really like to see the big sucker, but... I do feel the only real reason to do a stage is for statler and waldorf if its small. At least making their outer box. I guess to me you don't necessarilly need the big stage as we rarely saw it. Usually we saw...

DrTooth, I'm not saying Muppet rides and restarants are bad, what I am trying to point out is that you seem to feel that Saban would use the characters for his own personal gain, whereas you seem to feel Disney filling it's expensive parks with rides and theme restaurants would somehow be...

disney has also done some crappy stuff with them, like the dvd versions of Treasure Island and Christmas Carol. ************ Pan and Scan. Yet they put three different versions of Beauty and the Beast on DVD. Also I don't really count Christmas Carol or Treasure Island as Disney films, much...
