You forgot Waldorf.

The Muppet Babies reboot has been renewed for a third season: https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/muppet-babies-season-3-disney-junior-1203279595/ The article also mentions that the second season will begin on August 9th and that Scooter, Skeeter, Sweetums and the Swedish Chef will make...

Those Muppets/Disney TV Animation collaborations are also being done to help make the Muppets popular and relevant again before the new Muppet content planned for Disney+ comes out. In lieu of that, here’s a recent podcast interview with Matt Danner who says that the Muppet Babies reboot was...

It appears that there’s going to be even more of these kinds of collaborations between the Muppets and Disney Television Animation in the very near future. I also now wonder if The Muppets Studio has changed hands, moving from Disney Consumer Products to Disney Television Animation, where...

All because of Steve Whitmire! Plus more Muppet projects got shelved under Henson than they have under Disney.

Amblin Entertainment would be a good one to buy, if Steven Spielberg were to sell.

Again, blame Steve Whitmire and the messes he left behind that they still need to clean up.

Exactly. And the only reason Disney became too precious with the property is because of Steve Whitmire’s bad behavior and now people not wanting to support them due to not comprehending that Whitmire was the only thing holding them back and not wanting them to take risks, considering how...

Speaking of which...

Oppose for sure!

Yolanda should not replace Rizzo! Have them both coexist! Rizzo WILL be recast eventually! He’s too high-profile a character!

Here’s a link to a podcast with an interview with Kirk Thatcher where he explains all that: https://radiopublic.com/high-voltage-radio-hour-GbxevJ/ep/s1!225e4 Let’s hope they’ll be able to release those remaining Pigs in Space videos after Star Wars Episode IX comes out.

Except that it’s Lucasfilm’s fault that the remaining Pigs in Space YouTube videos haven’t been uploaded—they were Star Wars parodies and the current head honchos at Lucasfilm don’t want people to associate comedy with Star Wars. All this was revealed in a recent interview with Kirk Thatcher...

They do own the rights to A Muppet Family Christmas and Tale of the Bunny Picnic. They also own some pre-1974 stuff as well, such as Hey Cinderella, The Frog Prince and The Muppet Musicians Of Bremen. They do not own the rights to The Muppets Take Manhattan, Muppets From Space, Kermit’s Swamp...

Let’s hope they’re in the process of training understudies/potential successors behind the scenes as we speak to ensure the longevity of the characters and avoid the same roadblocks they faced when Jim and Richard died.

I kinda blame Eisner for killing Jim in that regard. :concern:

I see what you mean and agree, but what I really mean is that they should follow a model similar to what Caroll Spinney did when Matt and Eric were understudying Big Bird and Oscar with him respectively. Up until Caroll’s retirement, Caroll and Matt took turns performing Big Bird while Caroll...

All the more reason why they need to have understudy performers for Disney’s Muppets. I now see this as being why they wanted to multi-cast the characters back in the mid-2000s as an attempt to get them in the public eye more...and why a certain ex-Muppeteer should’ve trained understudies rather...

I saw that mentioned on the ToughPigs forum. One other Muppet series that that same person said has been pitched for Disney+ is one of touring The Muppet Show Live (just like the Hollywood Bowl and O2 Arena shows) and having different "guest stars" for every tour stop. These would be filmed and...

Because it is.
