Would the Muppets be better off owned by Warner Bros.?

[Blue Frackle]

Delusion.

@BeakerGirl94 Not doing anything with the Looney Tunes? Have you been living under a rock? In the past few years there's been Wabbit/New Looney Tunes, several original Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies have been released online on Boomerang, the Porky Pig 101 DVD set, and the forthcoming, highly anticipated "Looney Tunes Cartoons" shorts project that debuted at the Annecy animation festival. What have the Muppets done in all that time? Their ABC TV series got cancelled after one season, their presence in the Disney theme parks is diminishing, they did a couple live shows to great acclaim, but now all they have to show for themselves is a few guest appearances and Muppet Babies. They haven't had anything really big since around 2014-2015.

Again, blame Steve Whitmire and the messes he left behind that they still need to clean up.

The blame game - easy way to ignore faults into someone who’s really responsible and pin it on someone else.

 

[D'Snowth]

You know what's the truth? If it were the other way around, and it was Disney who said Steve Whitmire wasn't at fault, then Duke would be insisting just the opposite, and defending Steve simply because Disney says he's okay.

I did know about wabbit but hadn't heard anything about the Looney Tunes since that time and just so you know Disney is developing a new Muppet show for Disney+

 

[CBPuppets]

Exactly.

And the only reason Disney became too precious with the property is because of Steve Whitmire’s bad behavior and now people not wanting to support them due to not comprehending that Whitmire was the only thing holding them back and not wanting them to take risks, considering how demanding and controlling Steve became.

With Whitmire now out of the picture, Disney might be more willing to take risks with the Muppets now and do things like let the performers have a full say in the writing.

You're 100% Misinformed

I've heard about that actually!

and also, on the topic of never having DVD Releases past the 1st season, I recently found out that they released the Complete series of Teen Titans (The Original 2003 Series)

Unfortunately, this isn’t true. It’s been shelved as of now and instead, the Muppets are doing shorts on the streaming platform. And WB has done a LOT more with the Looney Tunes characters than Disney has done with the Muppets.
