    AAAAHHHHH!!! How horrible!
    That logo made me jump! If you want my opinion on that, everyone else pretty much said it already! Disney's Muppets is a BAD IDEA!
    The logo looked professional, as far as altering known logos go. But no!
    NOO NO NO NO NO NO NO!
    Bad monkey! No banana!
    I need some air!
    ARGH! :rolleyes: :mad: :mad:

    Disney grows more corrupt by the minute... I fear for the future of the Muppets...

    The Muppets are part of the Muppet Holding Company. Which although it is owned by Disney, it is quite detached too. So the major unit of Disney would hit rock bottom a little before the Muppet would ever get pulled down that low. Let's hope it never happens. Disney and the Muppets are undergoing change now but they will be back and better than before. A lot of the same people from Henson are invovled with the Muppets today (not just in the productions but also in the offices, writers room, and marketing department) so the Muppets will not change that much due to the Disney deal.

    It seems that Disney hasn't done much with the Muppet franchise since purchasing the rights this past summer. I'm hoping this isn't a sign of things to come... a little product merchandising or hint to what's in the works couldn't hurt. I would have figured we'd be seeing press announcements of Special Edition releases of the classic movie trilogy or at least word of more classic Muppet specials surfacing on DVD by now. It's time Disney got cracking in this department! Let's get "A Muppet Valentine Special", "The Muppet Musicians Of Bremen", "The Muppets Go Hollywood", "The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson" and a new Special Edition release of the classic "A Muppet Family Christmas" out on DVD already!!!

    While I am surprised we haven't seen anything yet, I figure they are making big plans to coincide with the movie.

    And you have to think it's going to take a while for a hold new department at Disney to get situated.

    I have to say that since the news that Disney plans (and has already announced) the release of Season Set DVDs of The Muppet Show: Yes. I like them (for) now. Plus, they're doing more with The Muppets than JHC was doing in the same period of time. All you have to do is look at the forum topics to see all the appearances they are making as proof.

    (Of course, I'm easy, too.)

    I agree.Like I stated before,Disney just bought The Muppets.Don't espect all their Muppet project to be done overnight or finished by this year.It'll take time for future projects to occur in real time.I'm very happy on TMS season by season dvd release.Time will tell what is in store for the years to come.

    At the time of the sale I had said that the long-term signs of what Disney will do with the Muppets will likely come to terms 3-4 years after the sale. So around 2007-2008, we'll get an idea of whether the Muppets are a long-term property or just a new novelty for Disney. The true test will be when Disney no longer is working with JHC after their multi-year partnership agreement expires.

    I agree Phillip. Even though Disney still has the final say, the JHC still has some input. After the agreement expires it could get interesting.
