DizneyFreak, that was my exact point. Muppets were under/misused and I was just making the comparison that its what you do with the acquisition that counts.
Yea, but it's not like Disney had no hand in it. Touchstone (Disney company) and Muppet Holding Co (aka Disney's umbrella for Muppet ventures) were also producers on the movie, and it aired on ABC...
I don't want to hijack the thread but I'm pretty sure you got that from Jim Hill, and it's just not true. If it were true, then how did Disney release the pathetic Muppet Wizard of Oz? How were they...
The Muppets aren't at the height of popularity because of Disney, that is my point. I am 23 and all my friends fondly remember growing up watching Muppet reruns, and the newer Muppet movies...
Speculation is what we all do best on this board but none of us has any idea what is in store for this franchise. Someone mentioned earlier that Disney doesn't even know how to properly capitalize on...
