The Muppets Studio, LLC (TMS), formerly Muppets Holding Company, LLC, is a wholly owned entertainment subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company, formed in 2004 through the acquisition of The Muppets and Bear in the Big Blue House assets from The Jim Henson Company.

Background

In the late-1980s, Jim Henson had been in talks with Disney CEO Michael Eisner to sell Disney the Muppets. In August 1989, the two announced a deal for Disney to buy Henson Associates. The deal fell through several months after Jim Henson's death in 1990.

Despite the colaspe of the merger deal by 1992, Disney and Henson Productions had struck a number of deals:

exclusive domestic rights to Henson theme park attractions in the Western US until May 1994 plus 2 year unexclusively
2 Henson attractions at Disney World
Buena Vista licensed world wide distribution rights to Henson's 300 hours of programming & a financing deal for up to 3 home video projects
some cable TV distribution rights for Disney Channel until 1997
International distribution rights for existing TV programming in free broadcast, cable or pay-per-view markets
"Muppet Christmas Carol" Distribution
"Dinosaurs" co-production.

The Henson family subsequently sold the entirety of the Jim Henson Company to German conglomerate EM.TV in 2000. In 2003, the Henson family repurchased The Jim Henson Company from EM.TV.

History

Muppets Holding Company

Eisner, still interested in the Muppet properties, re-opened negotiations with the Hensons and announced the purchase of The Muppets and Bear in the Big Blue House assets from The Jim Henson Company for $75 million on February 17, 2004. The acquired Muppet assets were then placed into The Muppets Holding Company with Chris Curtin as general manager within Disney Consumer Products. A new muppets.com website was launched in November 2004 and the Muppets made an appearance on the 2004 Christmas episode of "Saturday Night Live." The first Muppet production under complete Disney control, The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, went into production immediately and aired on ABC in May 2005. While Bear first appeared under Disney's control in the reality show, "Breakfast With Bear" in 2005.

A Fifth birthday tour for Kermit, "Kermit's World Tour" was planned with the leadership changes made just days before the tour began. The tour made its initial three stops before being canceled: Kermit, Texas, Johnson Space Center tour and cake with the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall, NYC.

Following Eisner's exit from the Disney company, new CEO Robert Iger removed the head of the Muppets Holding Company and several senior staff members hand-picked by Eisner. Since that time, the Company has been attempting to define the role of The Muppets within the Disney corporate structure. ABC in October 2005 order for “America’s Next Muppet,” a script and five script outlines. ABC was reluctant to green light America's Next Muppet in early 2006, but never got out of the planning stage. Muppet Holding's new general manager instead licensed the Muppets out to TF1, a French television network, to produce Muppet TV in September ]2006.

Muppets Studio

In 2006, the Muppets Holding Company was transferred from the Disney Consumer Products unit to The Walt Disney Studios with movie executives passing on oversite, TMS was placed in the special events group. In April 2007, the Muppets Holding Company changed its name to The Muppets Studio under new leadership by SEG head Lylle Breier.

In 2008, TMS licensed the Muppets for a F. A. O. Schwarz Muppet-theme boutique where customers can make their own Muppet.
