Iron Bess Posted February 17, 2004 Author Posted February 17, 2004 Just the Muppets or other works by Henson? Me li'l brother, whom ye' knew, managed Jim Henson's L.A. Creature Shop for many years. The email from Michael isn;t that specific. It say's simply that he is happy to announce that we are now the proud owners of the Muppets and so on and so fourth.

We already have them in a few parks. In fact, we have Muppet 3-D in Californis Adventure out here in Anahiem. Oh. Wait. I guess you can't really call that a *Park* Gee, I'm not sure. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

Rumba Rue Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 Aye now that be interestin' news. I use ta watch 'Fraggle Rock' many years ago when in 'altered states' an' thought it was dang funny. Aye me friend Kermit will be wearin' mouse ears! (Now if'n only Eisner could be given the Black Spot!) Rumba Rue **No greater loss of mind, than mine**
Desert Pyrate Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 Ahh.... Christ.... I don't know if this is good.... My aunt manages all physical production for Creature Shop Burbank... I hope she still has a job....
endkaos Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 Okay...let me understand this. Eisner fires/retires all the animators and buys puppets or should I say muppets? On top of that, Eisner screws up the deal with leading computer animators Pixar. I think he is going backwards here. Oh wait.. a Pizza Hut commercial just aired with Jessica Simpson and the Muppets...I guess Eisner just got paid. ~Tori Like any unmanned ship, a novice sailor will eventually steer into the wind and then in circles.
LadyBarbossa Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 Yup... Saw that in the newspaper today,... a friend & I. Thus far, I have heard a couple growls from people ready to strangle Eisner for that. Oh, well..... I just keep m'mouth shut & pray that a mutiny magically happens. Hey.. it could happen... it is the beginnings & all to the Magic Kingdom. Huzzah! Forever Barbossa's, Anastazia ~Master & Commander of the Resurrection Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Iron Bess Posted February 19, 2004 Author Posted February 19, 2004 Ahh.... Christ.... I don't know if this is good....My aunt manages all physical production for Creature Shop Burbank... I hope she still has a job.... She will! I'm made to understand that then Hensens retain control of the creature shop and a few other things as well. (Smart work on their part!) ! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Capt Grey Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 I heard the Henson companies be strapped fer cash and that this would help keep 'em solvent. But there ain't no love fer Mr. Eisner by the Henson family. Let's hope they keeps some creative control o'er their works. Thank God George Lucas be rich enough t'cut all ties to Disney. (That why there be no new movie fer Star Tours; Mr. Lucas won't deal with Mr. Eisner no more.) Maties, if ye be Disney stockholders it be time t'make Eisner walk the plank. Arrrrrrrgh! Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.
Iron Bess Posted February 19, 2004 Author Posted February 19, 2004 After the German Co that bought the Muppets went belly-up (not altogether a bad thing... ) the Hensen's were looking for money help for quite awhile. This whole thing has been in the works over 14 months. I never thought they'd come back to us but I guess money does more then talk. It screams! (I love Brian Hensen though, he's a terrific, nice guy.) Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
