‘The Walt Disney Company and The Jim Henson Company announced last Tuesday that they have entered into an agreement under which Disney will acquire the beloved Muppets and Bear in the Big Blue House properties from Henson.’ Kermit the Frog is included, but not the Sesame Street characters, such as Big Bird and Elmo, which are separately owned by Sesame Workshop. Somehow I doubt if Disney will do justice to characters like Kermit, but it would be interesting to hear other opinions on that.
