Ryan Dosier – Two of my favorite things in the world are the Muppets (duh) and Disney (also kind of duh, if you know about our sister site, The Mickey Mindset). The Muppets have been owned by Disney for over 10 years now, and it seems to me that they’ve missed one of the most obvious…
Michael Wermuth – Ten years ago last month, The Walt Disney Company purchased the Muppets from The Jim Henson Company, without buying the whole company.

Sean Jones – It was Tuesday, June 11, 2013, at 8:30 pm. I was laying on my friend’s couch, watching So You Think You Can Dance and surfing the internet. I will never forget the moment. I went to check out my favorite film blog, slashfilm.com, and I saw a picture from 2011’s The Muppets. I…

To Whom it May Concern within The Walt Disney Company, In its prime, The Muppet Show was the most popular television program on TV. It aired in over 100 countries in various languages and featured 120 of the biggest celebrity guest stars of the day joining the show to goof around with Kermit the Frog…
