Brian,
Have any opinions about the German mega-company EM buying out Jim Henson Co.? (See the link below.) Does this have any bearing on your various Muppet movie projects? From what I've read, I think it sounds like a good thing. They seem pretty focused on bringing the Muppets back into mainstream pop culture. Perhaps a re-release of reruns of the Muppet Show? Perhaps the rights for more Muppet DVDs will finally be cleared up? Or are those two completely seperate issues?
I think you're the only vocal net person who could be called a "Muppet insider", so any insights you could provide would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot. I hope all is well.
Sincerely,
Ed
