Jim's article is an interesting look at the 3-year business history of The Muppet Holding Co. LLC (now Muppet Studios, LLC). Although, like most of Jim's articles, is a personal editorial full of some bias and "spin". Still this article is a nice quick history of what has happened behind the scenes since the Muppets moved to Disney (although he left some major things out - like Statler and Waldorf on movies.com, "A Green and Red Christmas" CD, "Before you Leap", "The Muppet Show: Season 1" DVD, and the Muppets Ahoy! cruise show). Still it is not a bad article - but there's any real "breaking news" within it.

they are currently making short films to promote the Muppets among American tweens who watch The Disney Channel.
Just to clear things up, these Disney Channel interstitials (which would be like short films, little sketches, music videos and whatnot). These are just (as of now) an idea - a possible project they are working on developing. Nothing is "locked in", formally worked out, filmed or 100% for sure. This is just one, of several, ideas that are on the board and the Muppet Studios is looking into doing.

Personally, I go to GelflingWaldo when I need to go to someone for my Muppet news.
Aww, shucks :big_grin:

Huh? No real new news out of Jim Hill Media? OK, who won that office pool.
And Greg, that's a sentiment shared by many as you've been a crucial font of information, credible information, for breaking Muppet news.
