From yesterday's HIT announcement:

>>The deal does not include titles involving the Muppets or Bear in the Big Blue House, the rights to which were recently acquired by The Walt Disney Company.

Best known as creators of the world famous Muppets (the rights to which are now owned by The Walt Disney Company), Henson is the recipient of nearly 50 Emmy Awards and nine Grammy Awards.<<

I guess that means the deal's completed?

I think Aaron means when will all the Muppets stuff be transferred from the JHC lots to the Disney lots? I also wonder who'll keep all the old JHC Archived Muppets Stuff now?

His question didn't really sound that specific, but that's a good one anyway.

I did call JHC a few weeks ago though and they'll keep the Kermit/Chaplin statue and other Muppets memoribillia laid out throughout the property. So while the Muppets will move to Disney's Burbank lot, remnants of the past will still be at Chaplin.

They will do that, depending on when it's final. And no one at Disney and/or Henson has said anything yet, and I don't know if they will.

Did they actually say the physical "Muppets" would be moved to the Burbank lot or did they just mean it in a business sense?
