Another Disney/Muppet query...

[Beauregard]

Heres a little thought I had in the shower this morning (don't ask), now that Disney has the Muppets, will they bother to keep up background Puppets like Beau?

AND/OR is there anything that says they have to use JHC Puppet builders, not the cheapest they can find?

First question, yes. (They own him, so I don't see why not.) Second question, well, they DO have that consulting/production deal with JHC for the next few years, so it's not like Henson is totally out of the picture.

But the really big question is what happends when that consulting/production deal expires.
Then Disney should be able to make deals with other companys to make the puppets.
