I love The Muppets... and I HATE Disney

A rant about how much of a fangirl I am for the late, great Jim Henson's creations... and how much I hate Disney for turning them into their bitches. Fuck you, Disney. Take your wholesomeness and shove it up Mickey Mouse's mangina. You're destroying one of our nations greatest creations by turning them into a marketing ploy. FUCK you, Disney!

A little off topic but talking of dark films,have you ever seen Pans Labyrinth.

If not, I highly recommend it: /watch?v=EqYiSlkvRuw

@DeeDemonwitch Actually, I have seen Pan's Labyrinth. Amazingly dark, and even frightening.

Years ahead of you, sweety - I've been against Di$ney since they did away with the SoCal resident and military discounts for Disneyland.

That... and Roadside Romeo (their name is associated with it for North American distribution... there's way too many people who VERY wrongly credit Disney for that flick).

I'm with you sister. Fuck Disney!

@Alisterwolf66 Rock on! *hugs* I miss you, babe. Message me occasionally, huh?

You should to a rap song called "why I hate disney, but love kermit". Its the trend just now.

[Palkiana]

I disagree.I can't hate Disney.I grew up watching Tarzan jumping in the jungle,Oliver and his friends jumping on cars at new York city and all the disney magic.Sure,I like the muppets as well,and they just made muppets have a little of disney magic.whatever fir good or bad,it's your call.

smoking kills you

@mylovelydame21 I did not know that

[mylovelydame21]

@DeeDemonwitch Actually, they had a few problems with that over the years. For a long time they couldn't use the name "Christopher Robin" for a while because the people who owned the rights to the name fought against Disney. They claimed they took the characters from them. Hence why you haven't seen his little sugary-sweet English self for a while. lol

why the fuck does disney get muppets and marvel they should still be columbia

[SilentTom]

I'm not against it. Honestly, the Muppets were whoring out stuff even in the pre Sesame Street days. Coffee, jello, etc, all sorts of products. Yet, Henson was able to use that medium as a creative outlet and, with a few bad exceptions (ie Muppets singing with the Jonas Brothers & Hannah Montana... ew), most of the ways Disney has been using the Muppets have been pretty damn cool. Plus, if it gives enough exposure for that new Muppet movie, I'm all for it.
