Sesame Workshop Sues STX Films over Happytime Murders Trailer

[Bliffenstimmers]

Just to make things easier and to bypass the censors, here's a shortened link to the article. Still be aware that all of this is surrounding an R-rated movie, so no peeking, minors! Or do, I'm not the boss of you. In fact maybe it would be best to inform yourself here that Happytime Murders has nothing at all to do with Sesame Street.

Why do I feel like this is going to end up ruining future releases for Kermit the frog skits?

Why do I feel like this is going to end up ruining future releases for Kermit the frog skits?

Why do you say that? As far as I can tell I don't see how this would effect Disney or Sesame's relationship with Kermit in any way.

 

[LittleJerry92]

If the workshop has this going on with the Henson company, it just makes me nervous if this could take away the privilege of them being allowed to release Kermit skits on DVD and online.

But why? Kermit's owned by Disney, and Disney isn't involved in this.

 

[LittleJerry92]

Well, the Henson company is a part of Disney, isn't it?

 

[D'Snowth]

No. Disney just owns the Classic Muppets (as in the TMS characters).

 

[LittleJerry92]

Oh.... Whoops.

 

[Froggy Fool]

Oh.... Whoops.

 

[LittleJerry92]

Ooooof course.
