our studio just looks like a miniature movie studio . like the studio in
the muppets ,
the disney movie that came out recently , it has a little gate that opens and you feel like you ' re driving onto a little movie lot , but it ' s very tiny . we ' re smaller than one square block . it ' s a very creative atmosphere here . we have everything from motion capture performers walking around with the little mo - cap spots on their suits , to people who are artists , designers and puppet builders . we also still run a recording studio here . in the evening at about six or seven , those people come to work . the rock stars arrive for the night shift on our lot .
i mean real rock stars . they arrive at night and make their records in the recording studio , so we have a day life and a night life .

disney and the muppets studio have a differing interpretation of the terms of whitmire ' s departure , stating that the actor exhibited
unacceptable business conduct .
a source close to the studio told thr that whitmire ' s communication style was
overly hostile and unproductive
and his way of negotiation delayed productions . his persistent unprofessional behavior over a number of years ultimately led to the decision , the source said . as for whitmire being honored , the source told thr the puppeteer was not interested in what was proposed . no details were given .

on the comedy side , the muppets arrives as it has become increasingly challenging to launch original scripted half - hours .
steve whitmire , who had voiced kermit the frog for 27 years before being fired by disney , says he was let go because he spoke up about changes being made to the character he felt were against what creator jim henson would have wanted . the muppets studio claims it was about how whitmire conducted himself in the workplace .
certainly it worked for sony with the smurfs . it had been a couple of decades since the blue creatures had their heyday , and the studio brought them roaring back with a worldwide gross of more than $ 540 million . ( with a $ 110 million budget , the wager was far higher than disney ' s on the muppets . )
the irony is that segel wanted to make the film because he is such a passionate muppets fan . even the old guard acknowledges that segel wants to do right by the muppets , but many feel the pervasive attitude on the film was dismissive of those who originated the characters .

abc is part of the walt disney co . , which purchased the muppets franchise from the jim henson co . in 2004 and the right to use the characters in its theme parks , movies , tv shows and retail products . the abc television movie the muppets ' wizard of oz aired earlier this year .
yeah , that makes sense . while i had that studio system trial , their records showed that the
holding company
was contracted for a three year development period . now that period has passed and the original language is no longer applicable , and besides they ' re more actively finding ways to use the muppets and producing new stuff . - -
the muppets may stage their own reality talent show . we just hope statler and waldorf come down from the balcony to be judges .
the exhibit ends with a peek at projects henson had in mind before his sudden fatal illness in 1990 at the age of 53 . there isn’t too much devoted to the lives the muppets have had since that time , and certainly nothing alluding to the current row between the henson organization and the puppeteer steve whitmire . but the muppets section does include test footage shot before 1979’s the muppet movie , the first time kermit the frog and miss piggy were ever filmed outside of a studio . these experiments helped henson and crew figure out how to capture the famous sequence of kermit riding a bicycle .
it’s too early to say whether a project will develop out of the recent muppets event . but according to attendees , the brief tryout seemed to go well , and a stage version of the muppets seems a no - brainer given the high profile of the widely beloved disney property .
one is the expense , this show is expensive as i’m turning the soundstage into a theater . also , it’s a hardworking lot around the clock as we’ve got the henson recording studio here , which is the biggest rock and roll recording studio in america , so the lot does work and hum along 24 / 7 . it is disruptive , to a degree , to open up the lot for a public audience to come in so because of that it only really makes sense to do it for one of our own shows .
in “drive - on , ” pepe the king prawn is left in charge of the muppets’ office and takes on the responsibility of “mentoring” walter on the business of hollywood . still considered the “new guy” with the muppets , walter is given low - level jobs working alongside his fellow muppets at their office in the famed walt disney studios in burbank . he quickly learns there is a lot more to making movies than he thought .
after finding the studio , they go on a tour — alan arkin plays the cranky guide — and find the place “run - down and for the most part abandoned , ” mr . lieberman said . ( sound familiar ? ) but kermit & company decide to fix all that by reuniting the gang , blues brothers - style , for an old - fashioned variety show fund - raiser that saves the studio from a villain named tex richman , played by chris cooper , who thinks he can smell oil under the famous muppet theater .

the first issue was that they felt i had been ' disrespectful ' in being outspoken on character issues with the small group of top creative people during the abc series ,
said whitmire , who had been working with the muppets since 1978 .
i have been outspoken about what ' s best for the muppets since the muppets came to disney [ 2004 ] , but the fact is i have respect for everyone who was involved in the creation of that series for their own particular contributions . at the same time , i also have insight into their limitations with respect to how well they know the muppets .

( sesame workshop owns “sesame street” and related characters . )
the muppets have been working in hollywood for almost 40 years , but rather than considering retirement , they are well into the second act of their careers .
according to a muppets veteran , toward the end of his life , muppets creator jim henson was finding it a challenge to keep his creatures in the public eye . he was operating independently in an era of media concentration , which helps explain his decision to sell to disney .

this is a case of disney wanting to get into the jason segel business ,
as opposed to reviving the franchise . this insider adds ,
my biggest hope is that it comes across as a muppets film and not a jason segel film that the muppets happen to be in .
at the time of his firing , whitmire was under the impression that not only did he have a long future with the muppets but also his role was about to expand .
“the first issue was that they felt i had been ‘disrespectful’ in being outspoken on character issues with the small group of top creative people during the abc series , ” he told the publication . “i have been outspoken about what’s best for the muppets since the muppets came to disney [ 2004 ] , but the fact is i have respect for everyone who was involved in the creation of that series for their own particular contributions . at the same time , i also have insight into their limitations with respect to how well they know the muppets . ”
“the role of kermit the frog is an iconic one that is beloved by fans and we take our responsibility to protect the integrity of that character very seriously , ” a spokesperson for the muppets studio said in a statement to ew . “we raised concerns about steve’s repeated unacceptable business conduct over a period of many years and he consistently failed to address the feedback . the decision to part ways was a difficult one which was made in consultation with the henson family and has their full support . ”
watch the all new movie
muppets most wanted
, in theaters march 21 , and rock out on the drums to unleash animal ' s wild side .
: on a white background , we see several muppets that appear to be
bursting
out of the background , with kermit in front . the words :
the muppets won’t be following the variety - show - style format of the original muppet show ( 1976 - 1981 ) and muppets tonight ( 1996 - 1998 ) . instead , the new show will be shot in documentary style and will explore the muppets’ personal lives and relationships , both at home and at work , as well as achievements , disappointments , romances , and breakups ( kermit and miss piggy publicly announced their breakup in a publicity stunt for the show this summer ) .
the tension involved in reviving the faded muppets franchise is one that should have familiar echoes at disney . after the death of walt disney in 1966 , executives at the company became so engrossed in wondering
what would walt do ?
that disney became almost paralyzed . in the case of the muppets , the tendency to enshrine the creator might be magnified by the fact that the bearded henson died so young and unexpectedly at 53 .
and no nipple references ! ! ! ! ! ! i still won ' t let my kids watch the muppets

the role of kermit the frog is an iconic one that is beloved by fans and we take our responsibility to protect the integrity of that character very seriously ,
a spokesperson for the muppets studio told thr in a statement .
we raised concerns about steve ' s repeated unacceptable business conduct over a period of many years and he consistently failed to address the feedback . the decision to part ways was a difficult one which was made in consultation with the henson family and has their full support .
jerry bruckheimer films : jerry bruckheimer the fourth pirates of the caribbean film triumphed , but the run - up to it - - confessions of a shopaholic , g - force , prince of persia : the sands of time and apprentice - - failed to reach blockbuster status , forcing the mega - producer into an atypical public wrestling match with the studio to get the lone ranger greenlighted .
mr . eisner has waited a long time for this moment . as an executive at abc in his 20s in the late 1960s , he recalls , he was eager to put the muppets on the network . but like many suitors , abc wanted the muppets to be a broader children ' s property . mr . henson was determined not to change the tone of the muppets , and he went into business instead with the british tv mogul lew grade .
the muppet show ' ' was syndicated around the world and launched kermit as an international star .
this marks the second time prady has attempted to revive the muppets . the writer - producer shot some test footage before cbs ' the big bang theory that disney ultimately passed on . for his part , prady earned an emmy nomination in 1991 for writing tribute the muppets celebrate jim henson in 1990 and has contributed writing to disney ' s muppet - themed attractions . should abc order muppets to series , prady would juggle both that project and cbs ' the big bang theory , which he exec produces .
some people forget that the muppets “were never designed as children ' s entertainment , ” says todd lieberman , left , a producer , with david hoberman .
while on a grand world tour , the muppets find themselves wrapped into an european jewel - heist caper headed by a kermit the frog look - alike and his dastardly sidekick .
apatow productions : judd apatow apatow broke ground again by helping bridesmaids become a surprise smash this summer ( it surpassed the gross of his own knocked up for the studio in 2007 ) . and the comedy continues : wanderlust , the five - year engagement and this is forty - - which he also wrote and directed - - hit theaters in 2012 .
that being said , if disney really wants kids to know who the muppets are , just put them on television . the original show ( and even , to a much lesser extent , muppets tonight ) have a charm that kids of all ages spark to immediately . if you show it , they will come .
21 laps entertainment : shawn levy levy ' s outfit has been a hit machine for the studio ( minus the rocker ) since night at the museum in 2006 , with more than $ 1 . 3 billion in global grosses generated so far . the ensemble sci - fi comedy neighborhood watch is filming for a summer release , and the museum franchise could always be extended .
before the walt disney company bought the muppets , there had been a number of references in muppet / henson projects to disney and its productions and characters . in recent years , such references to disney in muppet productions have occurred as cross - promotion . the muppets have also been referenced and have made appearances in disney projects as well .
it might be that some of the original muppets crew are overly possessive . but so great are the concerns of some muppets performers who were involved in making the film that sources say a couple of key players - - including the performer behind ( or beneath ) kermit the frog - - considered removing their names from the credits . but they didn ' t , and a muppets veteran says the gesture would have been costly to the performers and fruitless .
it doesn ' t send any message ,
he says .
[ disney ] wouldn ' t care .
we ' re trying to get the old gang back together again !
says a voice that unmistakably belongs to kermit the frog , in one of the many muppets trailers the disney marketing machine has lobbed onto the web in recent weeks .
with “ muppets most wanted ” out in theaters next march , disney has started to promote the characters through a new online series of shorts called “muppisodes . ”
even though disney began pursuing ownership of the muppets in 1989 , it wasn ' t until february 17 , 2004 that disney ' s dream became a reality .
lightstorm entertainment : james cameron avatar contributed $ 2 . 78 billion in gross revenue to fox ' s coffers in 2009 and 2010 ; it was the first picture the company had delivered to the studio since solaris in 2002 . and while lightstorm has other projects in the works , including a big - budget remake of fantastic voyage , the forthcoming avatar sequels are what really matter .
overbrook entertainment : will smith overbrook , a sony pillar since 2001 , has brought the studio four giant hits , including the 2008 superhero flick hancock and 2010 ' s the karate kid remake with smith ' s son jaden starring . its current contract runs through 2013 , with a remake of annie , an adaptation of the hasbro game risk and a hancock sequel in the works .
given that generational influence , it is all the more puzzling that the muppets became a diminishing presence even as newly invented creatures who seemed to share their spirit — like shrek , from dreamworks animation — took center stage . at a time when prebranded characters are hollywood’s treasured assets , how were the muppets allowed to slip into such a state ?
the show , intended for kids age 2 to 7 , is a series of conversations between the muppets and young kids about topics like “apologies , ” “favorite foods” and “manners . ”
the heart of disney ' s strategy is to take the muppets back to their roots in the tv show , in which kermit sang classics such as
it ' s not easy being green , ' ' and fended off miss piggy ' s advances . when mr . henson created the muppets in the 1950s , he pitched them for adults , albeit with a child friendly tone .
henson’s deal with disney includes a 15 - year contract for his creative services and a production deal with the studio . “my company has signed a production deal with them , ” henson says . “so i’m still working , i still have my own company , but our output is exclusive to disney . ”
in an outpouring of good will , some of hollywood’s brightest young stars have lined up behind reviving the muppets with a film that is , appropriately , about reviving the muppets . over the last several months , ricky gervais , emily blunt , zach galifianakis , jack black and two dozen or so peers have flocked to rented stages on the universal studios lot for roles .
kermit was originally voiced by jim until his death in 1990 , when whitmire — who has been working in some capacity with the muppets since 1978 — took over .
but know this : breier is already fiercely protective of the muppets . having helped to shift control of these characters from disney consumer products over to the studio side of the mouse factory , she ' s now determined to use miss piggy & pals in the way that jim henson originally intended them to be used . not as nostalgic figures who can then be used to sell
pizza hut
products to baby boomers . but - - rather - - as characters who , first & foremost , are meant to entertain .
