Jeffery Scott, a prominent writer of 80s kids' cartoons that was a developer on the original "Muppet Babies" series, is suing Disney for apparently copying his original series bible for the 2018 reboot! Read it here...

I see where Hank Saroyan isn't too pleased with the reboot either.

Yeah, I don't see this lawsuit being handed in his favor.

This is a possible reason as to why I prefer the original Muppet Babies over the new one.

I find it strange considering that the Muppet Babies themselves were a result of a dream sequence from TMTM

Well, that, and also all elements of the original Muppet Babies (including everything that he wrote for it) are now owned by Disney, whether he likes it or not.
