In a surprising turn of events, The Walt Disney Company has sold The Muppets Studio and its characters library to The Jim Henson Company, who previously owned the characters until 2004. This includes not only the works previously owned by Henson before the sale, including The Muppet Show and...
You mean, like, 1994-1995? That's way too early. Fox barely had a kids library- they hadn't bought New World yet and got the Marvel animation library, nor had they made their partnership with Saban official (while Loesch had been considering a partnership since before Power Rangers, they didn't...
Does anybody else view Zagtoon as a successor to SIP? I mean, one of the cofounders of Zagtoon, Jacqueline Tordjman, also cofounded SIP before leaving once it went dormant in 2009. Plus there was that deal with Saban for movies that didn’t go anywhere, and SIP pilot Kobushi even ended up at...
