ARE YOU OUT OF YOU MIND???!!!

The truth is, Walt Disney, throughout his career, had more courage, talent and creative integrity in his little finger than Jim Henson had in his whole hand.
To quote the pig: "ARE YOU OUT OF YOU MIND???!!!!"
and to paraphrase the bear:
"SHAME ON YOU!.... YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!!"
Walt Disney WAS a genious, no doubt. As was Jim Henson.
Even though the Henson Company is in a bit of finacialand creative trouble you still don't have nearly as many pure "anti-henson" people out ther as theer are "Anti-Disney."
Creative geniouses or not... with out their leadership both of their empires had spotty track reacords w/o them. Look at Disney in the early 80's. "Oliver and Company" was the 1st disney animated film to make blockbuster status.
And sadly enough to admit, Eisner was at least somewhat responible for it.
However big and massive a media conglomerate Disney is, most people I hear from randomly refer more fondly to the Muppets and Henson, then Disney.
Yes I love Disney cartoons..... especailly OLD disney cartoons. The Disney comapny is now in one it's lull periods. (exception: "Lilo and Stitch") Deal with it.
But you don't see me mouth'n off on the "Disney fan boy express" That Walt Disney was the anti-christ, or any less of a visionary then the man was.
What would possibly make you write such such sh*t?!!
