The Disney deal, which was already a huge fiasco, fell apart completely when Jim Henson died. The Muppets belonged to Henson entertainment, with Disney eyeing them evilly from the sidelines and out of the picture. Disney had no say in it.
I still can’t help the feeling that Brian Henson has sold out.
Wht I want to know is what is the name and origin of the opening theme, that jazz tune they played when you saw the two grouchy old men in the balcony of the theater. I love that tune!
