NOTES AND RESEARCH

The Muppets at Walt Disney World

Aired on NBC

May 6, 1990

(***Note – RetroWDW.com did a wonderful job locating “a relatively clean copy of the special and decided to improve it bit by removing the interlacing, repair the chroma and colors.” Without their hard work, we would have had to watch a really poor quality video. We have linked to their video at the end of this article.***)

BACKGROUND ON DISNEY AND THE MUPPETS

In 1989, the company entered merger negotiations with The Walt Disney Company, but the deal fell through following Jim Henson’s unexpected death in 1990.

Following Henson’s death, the company was taken over by Henson’s children.

In 2000 Henson was sold to EM.TV & Merchandising AG, a German media company, but by the end of that year, EM.TV’s stock collapsed, and the company was sold back to the Henson family in 2003.

In 2004, the Jim Henson Company sold the rights to The Muppets and Bear in the Big Blue House characters to the Walt Disney Company.

“Disney Buys Muppets” EW article from 2/18/04

http://ew.com/article/2004/02/18/disney-buys-muppets/

Breakdown: What Disney Owns

• Disney now owns all Muppet-related trademarks, including the word “Muppet” (though Sesame Workshop still has permission to use the term for its Sesame Street characters through a license from Disney).
• The Muppets – Disney: Kermit piggy, all of those characters are now owned by Disney
• Sesame Street – Sesame Workshop: Big Bird, Ernie Bert, Elmo are all owned by sesame workshop
• Jim Henson Company – Fraggle Rock, Dark Crystal, Labrynth, Sid the science kid. Have always been owned by the Jim Henson Company

“Kermit vs Mickey Mouse” Newsweek article from 4/28/91

https://www.newsweek.com/kermit-vs-mickey-mouse-202356

Henson Associates filed an invective-filled lawsuit that charged Disney with infringing on the trademark and copyrights that protect its Muppet characters. It asked a federal court in New York to halt a Muppet 3-D movie scheduled to begin showing next month at Walt Disney World in Florida. Among other niceties, Henson’s suit accused Disney of “sheer corporate arrogance…… corporate greed” and running “roughshod” over the Muppets. For its part, Disney said the suit contained an “enormous distortion of the facts” and painted the Henson heirs as balky children going back on on their famous father’s wishes.

Henson/Katzenberg meeting

Henson/Eisner friendship

The two sides signed a letter of intent to give Disney use of the Muppet characters in its theme parks, television and movies.

Without a formal merger or licensing agreement, Henson plunged into projects with Disney. He built some “walk around” Muppet characters for Florida’s Disney World that would appear on stage shows. He also began working on a new blockbuster movie for Disney World, “Kermit the Frog Presents Muppetvision 3-D.”

But there’s another twist to this story. Disney and Henson are working together–more or less amicably–on the new TV show “Dinosaurs,” which debuts this Friday.

Muppet Movieland

In the Disney-MGM Studios, Imagineers began to work on plans for Muppet Movieland. This new area of the park would have featured two main attractions, The Great Muppet Movie Ride and a 3D film attraction.

The area was meant to be opened by 1991 and signs were even put up showing the future location of the studio.

The Great Muppet Movie Ride

Describing it, Henson said that it would be “a backstage ride explaining how movies are shot…but all the information is wrong.”

The experience would be hosted inside a shadowy castle, complete with special effects such as buzing generators and scientific machines. Riders would board enormous vehicles similar to those used in the Great Movie Ride for their tour. Disney’s Imagineers planned to spend a fortune on the attraction, making it the number one ride at Disney-MGM Studios.

One of the key scenes would see Kermit, Miss Piggy, Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker starring in a parody of the 1931 movie Frankenstein. Gonzo would direct, with a 10-foot Beaker starring as Frankenstein’s monster. The whole affair would be powered by two rats running in a hamster wheel.

Peter Pan would also undergo the parody treatment, with Kermit taking the lead role. Skeeter, Fozzie and Janice (playing the Darling children) would fly over a recreation of London, carried by very obvious harnesses. Miss Piggy, playing Tinkerbell, would crash through the backdrop.

Another scene, based on the Pigs in Space sketch in The Muppets Show, would be set in a recreation of the bridge of the USS Swinetrek. Miss Piggy would lead the fight against a group of “space pirates”.

Just as Statler and Waldorf provide a running commentary on Muppet*Vision 3-D, they would ride around the Great Muppet Movie Ride in a golf cart, discussing it as they went.

MuppetVision 3D

On May 19, 1991 a confidential settlement was reached between the two parties. As part of the agreement, Disney was allowed to continue their development of the 3D Muppet attraction, and they were given merchandising rights for 18 months.

Join us for some heated debates, as you root for your picks (or favorite attraction) to make it all the way and collect some great prizes from WDWNT in the process. And of course, YOU can affect the results with your vote! Here’s how it all works:

Pre-tournament registration for the 2018 March Madness Attractions Tournament starts NOW. Click here to fill out the registration form. The form must be submitted before 8:00 PM EST on Monday, March 12th.

We will in return send you an email with 4 randomly assigned Walt Disney World attractions that will be yours in the tournament. You will be assigned one attraction that is a 1-4 seed, one that is a 5-8 seed, one that is a 9-12 seed, and one that is a 13-16 seed.

We then encourage you to watch WDWNT’s live broadcasts where we will debate the winners of each match-up. All shows will be broadcast live on WDWNTunes.com. Here is the broadcast schedule:

• Friday, March 9th, 10pm EST – Bracketology (watch the recording if you missed it live)
• Monday, March 12th, 10pm EST – Round 1 (with a WIGS pre-show starting at 9:30pm, and WDWNT ParksCenter immediately after)
• Wednesday, March 14th, 10pm EST – Round 2
• Wednesday, March 21st, 10pm EST – Finale (with a WIGS pre-show starting at 9:30pm, and WDWNT ParksCenter immediately after)

The four attractions you will be assigned will accumulate points for each victory they gain in the tournament. The point distribution is as follows:

1st Round Win – 1 Point
2nd Round Win – 1 Points
“Swell Sixteen” Round Win – 2 Points
“E-Ticket Eight” Round Win – 2 Points
“Fantasmic Four” Round Win – 3 Points
Championship Round Win – 3 Points

The winner of each match is decided by the illustrious panel constructed from the finest members of the WDWNT staff (or whoever can show up that night). Each panelist counts for a single vote. The Walt Disney World attraction that receives the majority of the votes will win that round and advance to the next round.

HERE IS HOW YOU CAN INFLUENCE THE OUTCOME:

REGISTERED PLAYERS who have filled out the registration form can call in to submit a “supervote” once per broadcast. This “supervote” counts as two votes added to the panelist vote totals. The call in number is 407-774-8255. Your call MUST come in before the conclusion of the round or it will not be counted.

IF YOU ARE NOT A REGISTERED PLAYER you can still try to sway the vote. During the live broadcasts, use the live chat at WDWNTunes.com to try and sway our panelists while they are discussing the matchup.

At the end of the tournament, the top 8 players in terms of points amassed throughout the tournament will receive a prize pack from WDWNT. The top player will receive a grand prize package and be declared the WDWNT March Madness 2018 champion.

The Muppet Movie Minute 1: We See Our First Muppet

We are taken to World Wide Studios for a screening of The Muppet Movie.

The Muppet Movie Minute 2: The Explosion

Seats are torn up. Popcorn and chickens fly through the air. Things explode. Typical Muppets.

The Muppet Movie Minute 3: Take It or Leave It

We find Lew Zealand tossing fish, Sam the Eagle questions the value of this movie and Kermit addresses a rowdy crowd.

The Muppet Movie Minute 4: These Are One Way Fish

The film finally starts and we learn way too much about a guy named Sir Lew Grade.

The Muppet Movie Minute 5: The Outlaw Biker Film

We learn about the duo behind the beloved movie soundtrack, the man who gave voice to the Muppets and the guy who directed them. But we also learn about the guy who edited Dumb and Dumber and the DP on a really, really, really strange genre mash-up film.
