Does Sony need Disney's ok?

hey gang,

quick question here...

Does Sony "needs" Disney to "ok" them before they re-release this NEW Muppets Movies 3-pack dvd set?! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...3/002-0651188-3378467?n=507846&s=dvd&v=glance
thanks gang!

I remember reading somewhere that Disney hadnt gained control to the rights to The Muppet Movie yet, due to a Henson deal with Sony, which was still to expire before Disney could control it.

Plus, some of those Muppet movies aren't owned by Disney, including (as far as I know) :

• Mupppets Take Manhatten
• Kermit's Swamp Years

You forgot "Muppets From Space".

Thanks... but NO ones really helped me any.

1. Disney does holy-own The Muppet Movie (and Great Muppet Caper) now. Sony NEVER owned it, just had rights to release them on DVD/vhs, the same way Disney/Buena Vista did on VHS back in 1993.

and 2. I know Sony have the dvd/vhs release rights for MFS, MTM and KSY, they co-own them with Now Disney.

My question is... does Sony NEED an "okay" by Disney/MHC to relase this "new" box set of the other 3 Muppet movies (MFS, MTM and KSY)??!!.

I never said Sony owned The Muppet Movie.It was a deal for releasing rights.Maybe it has now expired.But what I was getting at is that Sony wouldnt have to get permission from Disney while the Henson deal exists.Why dont you ring Sony.I'm sure they will be more helpfull.
