Though I am mad that Disney bought The Muppets from the Muppet Show but has never used them since the Muppets Wizard of Oz which was a flop. I am even more mad that Disney bought the word Muppet so now the Sesame Street characters and the other Jim Henson puppets can't even be called Muppets anymore. Not even the original Muppets from his 1950's local show Sam and friends.
That studio DC thing was horrible. Disney does not know how to handle the muppets, as shown in '96 when they didn't know how to market muppets tonight.
Brian Henson said that Muppets Tonight was marketed wrong, so I'm just stating what he said.
Henson wanted to sell the Muppets to Disney back before they were all about making money and horrible products (most kids nowadays, when hearing Disney would think hannah montana, not mickey mouse.) AND do not forget that the Muppets were something that gave puppetry and Henson a name in adult entertainment (before the muppet show they were thought of as things for young children)
(cont.) Disney putting the Muppets with these horrible acts meant for stupid preteens is making the muppets look more and more immature. And the company was just carrying out Jim's wish- they didn't know they were going to do what they're doing.
But most kids today think that the muppets are for little kids, and its really pissing me off. Go to a high school and ask around- the stupid teenagers of today aren't aware that Sesame Street's the educational show for pre-schoolers- Not the muppets.
I don't know if anyone here did their research but just to let you know Jim Henson was originally gonna sell his company to Disney so he can focus on the creative side of things. The deal fell through after he died, but Brian Henson revived the deal.
I remember he wanted to do that, and really like the idea that the muppets would have a home there, but i think we all agree that their fates have been mismanaged, that oz tv movie was horrid, and i guess that just fingers a sore wound for people longing for jim's magic
i mean if you weigh thier 30th anniversary against thier 50th.. it's just sad
I don't think that henson would've wanted the muppets to be associated with what disney has become, ie hannah montana. Disney went from a creative company to a money-hungry organization.
I loved it I am so very glad that there are other people pissed off about disney ruining Henson FANTASTIC ideas. Thank you all. Maybe some day one of our children will come up with something that great again. One can only hope right.
True, but when Eisner took over the Walt Disney Company in 1984 it was ailing to say the least and he saved it. But I appreciate that he is shockingly meglomanic
THIS IS SO GREAT!!! Almost like a movie trailer. Yeah, I wanted Eisner to drop dead a few times for running that company into the ground. Hopefully, their connection to Narnia will make them redeemable.
This was absolutely amazing. I get tired just THINKING of how long this must have taken you. I love the special effects- the giant U.S.S. Mickey Mouse Enterprise! Or Mousegate Galactica. Or something. INCREDIBLE. Worthy of the front page, hands down.
This reminds me of that Scientology video by Anonymous. XD

What you say makes no sense what so ever.
doctorwhoobawooba 2 years ago
It does make sense, what I'm saying is that Disney is doing a lot with the Muppets. But I guess I worded it wrong so I removed my comments.

Okay, #1 THAT should be submited to a film festival and it WILL win! #2: What editing program did you use? It was all awesome!!!
geisler777 5 years ago
1. Doubt I could put it in a film festival, since 97% of the material in it I don't own the rights to.
2. Video editor was Adobe Premiere 5, CGI renderer was Truespace 4, and Photoshop 6 for some of the matte effects and the lightsaber duel.
