The History of Disney and the Muppets | Some Boi Online 

Thanks! 😁

@@SomeBoiOnline yeah I don’t know why this only have 8,800 views

@@JDVG_Comedy_Videos what the hell makes you think universal would do well with them 🤣 Sony didn’t handle the Muppets well for one, not even slightly. But Disney produced the most successful Muppets film of all time. You guys cut Disney so much of the great things they’ve done it’s ridiculous

Pretty much with disney, their way or the highway. I hate how a greedy companies treats their ipsbas just an object and not a work of passion. Yeah I know disney is a for profit company but they way they been handling ips they bought such as the muppets and star war is just sickening.

@@BananaReidy it’s shitty af

I agree, the sitcom series had its issues, but had it been given at least another series it could have developed and became something great

I think your mixing up the release of the “The Muppets” (The movie) and “The Muppets.” (The tv show).

The saddest part to me about the 2015 sitcom is that it JUST started to improve in the last few episodes (though I believe the whole series is nice, the last few episodes after the writing change is really when the series starts to be "The Muppets" again), they cancelled it due to the response to the earlier episodes. So much wasted potential.

Kind of reminds me of what happened with Disney and Power Rangers!

So, basically, it's the corporate equivalent of the Tasmanian Devil from Looney Tunes.

Thank you! Yes I often think a universe with Jim Henson still in it would be a better one, though his influence will always be present no matter what...

They cancelled ABC's the muppets because of low ratings, not mixed reviews

What would happen if Disney bought Sesame Workshop and the entire Jim Henson Company?

@@lexramstudios1386 then they’d own Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, and every other Muppet production produced if not mistaking. Which with things turned around and the original Muppet performers got more control over the Muppets like we all want, and Disney’s marketing skills would probably result in the most successful and Jim Henson Muppet soul revitalizing era of the Muppets ever. But alas, this is my fantasy

But it doesn’t have to be a fantasy, necessarily. If Steve were rehired and Oz’s ideas were offered and experienced muppeteers actually had freedom with regard to how the Muppets are performed (or at least good writers who understood and duplicated the original soul of the Muppets lmao), it could become true…

I wish they'd continued something in the style of the 2015 "The Muppets" TV series. "Muppets Now" isn't really the type of show I was hoping for.

I feel like it'd be perfect for today's landscape on Disney+, but without Steve Whitmire as Kermit I'm not sure it would be the same.

Thank you 😊

Uh…no, he left a full 3 years before the Disney acquisition. You watched the video, right? Disney’s been more successful than the Muppets than any other company producing (as I’ve stated numerously before) the most successful Muppet film ever. They’re not perfect, there are a lot of flaws, but nothing they’ve done with the Muppets has been any worse than Sony, Nick or Viacom or WB with Sesame Street

They belong to Sesame Workshop, the downside is Kermit doesn't appear on SS anymore and vice versa!

Thanks, means a lot! 😀

Keep it up mate, the content is great. It’s not second rate, but rather first ra-okay I’ll stop with the rhyming 😂

@@FreeSpiritPaulette i want more rapping

@@b8c0n15 😂 cheers

Thanks, really appreciate it!

@@SomeBoiOnline no problem

I'd say there's been worse... At least Kermit still has his actual voice, for instance.

that was the only way I knew the muppets for a pretty long time XD

Sony owns those two films.

It's the staff roll from Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Yes that's correct. They were originally Henson's, then Disney took the Muppets but wasn't allowed Sesame Street - so they became their own thing.

@@SomeBoiOnline it’s kinda sad Sesame Street was split from the muppets I mean I’m not saying there should be an Elmo movie or Elmo in a muppets move or Kermit the frog doing a movie with Elmo any time soon or at all I don’t feel to strongly but whatever. I don’t know about that but I’m just saying Kermit the frog appearing on Sesame Street again with Elmo should happen again but legally can’t happen it’s sad. Although this is coming from a guy who is not a kid doesn’t watch Sesame Street knows no kid who does or any kid for that matter and when there’s a new muppets movie and or tv show I’m like ok? And your point is? And or this affects my life how? And or I should care why? And or it’s important how? And don’t watch it but just the idea of it happening I mean I would like that I don’t like when companies get there ips split up I mean look at marvel they STILL can’t make another hulk movie she hulk legally has to be tv not a movie they don’t own the rights to Namor completely and that’s just when it comes to what universal studios owns. There’s Sony who own Spider-Man (well movie spider man not tv comic or merch and they like half own the rights to video game spider man I mean spider man video games do make marvel money and spider man in the avengers game but only for PS4 and I mean I think they want Spider-Man game off of PlayStation but legally can’t do that just know they as in Sony have some spider man rights in the form of complete movie rights and some but not all video game rights) I mean they don’t play that nice with Disney either I mean at least they let him into the mcu but like? They can’t use venom in the mcu no matter how much they want. Also if they didn’t buy out fox they still wouldn’t have the rights to the X-men or fantastic four or whatever else fox had. At one point even more was sold off. I’m happy Sony did not accept the entire mcu and instead went for spider man instead I mean come on there would be no mcu if they did. I know it’s a different situation with one wanting to be apart of the other like the muppets wanting to be apart of Disney and Sesame Street by if I understand this correctly one of the creators not both but o s of them not wanting it to be part of Disney and no one at marvel wanting to sell the rights off Stan lee wishing he could keep them and hating what was done with fantastic four. But my point is it’s sad that when IPs that were part of the same company and or owned by the same person and or created by the same person and or were in stories together and not just as a promotional seeking point like that one time dc and marvel had comics together get split up I would honestly like Sesame Street to come back together with the muppets just like how everyone except at Sony and universal want the rights marvel still doesn’t have to come back to them.

@@rebelcommander7starwarsjur922 what if Disney tries to buy Sesame Workshop and The Jim Henson Company?

@@lexramstudios1386 honestly would be ok with that

Sesame Street itself has always been owned by Sesame Workshop (formerly CTW), but the characters themselves were owned by Henson, with merchandising revenue split between the two parties. The characters and this revenue were not to be included in the Disney deal of 1989/90, but were included in the EMTV deal of 2000, until EMTV, under financial strain, sold the complete rights to the Sesame Muppets to Sesame Workshop in late 2000. Then in 2003, EMTV sold Henson back to the Hensons, who then sold the main Muppet franchise to Disney a year later.

Ironic you mention Saban Entertainment now that Hasbro owns Power Rangers. A property that’s one of the rare big name ip’s I can think of to get away from the House of Mouse.

I love the old animated films but I’m desguted by how big it got

Yes it is.

@@Asukenick not in the us

@@thenonfictionalexplainer952 I looked it's there.

Sesame Street is in fact owned by Sesame Workshop, but Warner Bros. do own the distribution rights.

*Sesame Street. How do you butcher the name

@@SomeBoiOnline it is Sesame Street but Warner bros does not own the distribution rights to the series, that is the responsibility of sesame workshop ending on HBO’s end card when the episodes are on HBO, only sesame workshops own when it is in re runs on PBS kids But it will be owning the distribution rights for the forthcoming movie for sesame workshop who owns the brand, this movie will be the fourth time out theatrically and second overall distributed by Warner bros and first since 1989 as this will owned by WarnerMedia LLC/AT&T It is a lease between hbo max and pbs kids on show where hbo max will own all first run rights to the episodes through 2025, pbs kids holds the re run rights to the episodes 9 months after that The exception is anything featuring julia in a prominent role, if she is both can have her bypassing the 9 months

@@stevenjordan3839 Sesame Street ALWAYS belong to the Sesame Workshop, it's their show!

@@haileyshannon7548 yes the property will always belong to sesame workshop, I am referring to the programs current lease/share agreement is all
