Steve Whitmire said that the tour had been cancelled (quietly) but he was hoping the tour would happen again at some point, with funding coming from the recent commercials.

To my understanding, MWoO was in the works even before the Disney deal.

The current CEO of Disney, whoever replaced Eisner, isn't a big fan of the Muppets either. He pulled the plug on many of Eisner's plans including the cheapquels, a Hunchback of Notre Dame broadway show or something else to do with that movie, and funding for the Muppets.

At least we have something to thank that guy for, less of Disney's cheap-direct-to-DVD-sequeals! Celebrate good times, COME ON!

I don't get it. The
Muppets
received
wonderful ratings from their past two television specials, their re-issues are selling great, why would Disney not wish to continue making new stuff and continue making profits? This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where a new president was hired at NBC. One that never liked Seinfeld and cancelled the show without hearing how the pilot episode did.
