<<"Germany's EM.TV buys Henson for $680 million." Then five years of my life flashed before my eyes.>> Thats exactly what happened to Brian Henson !

So are the noses supposed to drop off or do i hear the dreaded words 'product recall' ? ;-) Luke (also - how is this going to affect Gonzo ?)

Yeah but even if Disney do buy Henson, then any product still coming out will be directly from Henson, not Disney. People complain about all the sequels and nothing original coming from Disney's own properties (and single licenses that have been aquired) but with the Muppets, it's more than...

Yeah Ken said it fourth post down on page 32 of this topic, and he would discuss it closer to the show. If we can get say four people going to the show and twenty people want figures (including themselves) then thats 5 per person. Any more than that and i think you're likely to get a slap in...

frogboy4 & Raech I am feeling all this Muppety action figure pain and i think we need to sort out this exclusive action figure schmoo once and for all. Didn't Mike or Ken say that they might 'up' the maximum figure limit in individual cases if we arranged for someone to pick up a batch for...

Ok Phil, yeah i can kinda see both sides of it - on the one hand the site is there to tell people about what products are coming out and the latest news on Muppet stuff, and on the other theres the widescreen campaign where we are saying this isn't on. It's a tough one, i think the first...

Scarecroe :- Yep i know it came from Toughpigs, thats where i got it - i kinda spend a lotta time there now, as does everyone judging by all the TP references in this forum. All :- I think KSY is sounding a lot better than i originally thought - i think it's a rental at least. I'm...

For those interested, the audio of the Rainbow Connection remake can be found here :- http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IPAQ/qid=1006633266/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_14_3/104-8254968-7699127 (Track 6) Apparently it's pretty good and theres quite a lengthy sample clip on that Amazon page...

So Jamie, whats the difference between Widescreen and Anamorphic Widescreen - i think i heard that Anamorphic stretches to fit the whole of the screen - is that right ?

Yeah TV & Merchandising, including the Columbia video distribution deal (obviously that'd end up at Buena Vista). It's like when WWF bought WCW - both companies action figures were made by opposing companies, so the WCW deal was cancelled. No idea about Henson Pictures, i think it might be...

Boyraisin, The movie deal expired long ago. The exisiting TV and merchandising deals would carry on, unless the company buying Henson also wanted to buy their way out of the deals. (like Hallmark did with the Odyssey contract) Otherwise they would start doing their own thing once the...

Well Muppet Treasure Island was a movie aimed more at kids, being a Treasure Island adaptation theres not much more you can do to it - but yes, the extras do tend to be geared up for kiddies and i get what you mean. It's a worry that Disney will market the Muppets just to kids, but then i...

Welcome back to the dark side Martha - glad you made it. Hope Andrea and the Penguin are ok !

Jamie Disney are giving their Muppet DVD releases poor treatment ?:- * Commentary * Sing Along Video * Making Of Feature I don't call that poor treatment - in fact its better than the way Henson and Columbia treated the major first three films. The only gripe we really have is the...

Matt :- I'll keep you posted on Cosgrove. They are about the same level as 'Hit' who aquired the 'Barney' franchise so if Henson were to go for say, under $200 million they would probably have a chance, nothing in the league of Disney or News Corp though so if those are truly in the bidding...

As for the suggestion that the time limit could be turned off when people have made a certain number of posts, it's an excellent idea but it's not a feature of the Vbulletin software.

Well, its way better than the 240 it was before, but i think still a bit long - maybe 120 would be good. It should be enough so that spammers can't continually press the post button, but not enough that casual visitors would notice it. I'm sure with all the experimentation these past few days...

Warrick, Cory is joking. In Danny's article he said that Henson had considered a rarities DVD but rejected it because they would never be able to sell enough to make it worthwhile.

Boyraisin Cosgrove Hall is a British production company, a bit like Aardman - who do a lot of animation, films and kids stuff. You can find a fansite about them at :- http://www.nyanko.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/chamb/ About six to eight months ago i was at a meeting with a company who shares...

Hi Actually I don't think theres much new in this press report - actually there are a number of errors, (not least about robust TV production continuing on the Henson lot) so i'm thinking that a journalist has just got the wink that they had this document meeting with all the interested...
