Does Disney own the Muppets ? In February 2004 , The Walt Disney Company purchased and the " Bear in the Big Blue House " characters from The Jim Henson Company . The purchase did not include the " Sesame Street " characters , which are separately owned by Sesame Workshop , nor did it include " Fraggle Rock " and other franchises , which The Jim Henson Company retained . Beginning in 1989 , Jim Henson had been in negotiations with Disney for a sale of the company so that he could focus on creative projects without the hassles of running a company . This deal fell through after his death in May 1990 . During the ' 90s , Disney distributed the films " The Muppet Christmas Carol " and " Muppet Treasure Island " . During this period , Disney ' s video line , Buena Vista Home Entertainment , released some Muppet projects , and many Henson productions were broadcast on Disney Channel . In his book " Where Did I Go Right ? " , Bernie Brillstein ( Jim Henson ' s manager ) speaks of a time in the early 1980s , when the Disney company was in management trouble , that he and Jim were considering buying The Walt Disney Company . " The Muppets ' Wizard of Oz " has a brief reference to Disney buying the Muppets . At one point , Toto ( Pepe ) is on his cell phone with Michael Eisner and tells him , " If you think we ' re going for that deal , you ' re out of your Mickey mind , okay . "
