Except Disney owns the Muppets, not the Hensons lol.
true! from Wikipedia:
In 2004, almost one year after ownership of the Henson company was returned to the family?s hands, the Jim Henson Company sold the rights to The Muppets and Bear in the Big Blue House characters to The Walt Disney Company,[9][10] who control the Muppets through the wholly owned subsidiary The Muppets Studio, LLC. The Walt Disney Company now owns all Muppet-related trademarks, including the word ?Muppet?. In the teaser for "Stuffed and Unstrung", the characters of Bobby Vegan and Samson Knight made it clear that they weren't Muppets.
While the company no longer owns any of The Muppets characters, the scenes featuring the fictional "Muppet Studios" in The Muppets were filmed at Jim Henson Studios. As of 2011[update], Jim Henson's children Brian, Lisa, Cheryl, John and Heather run the company: Brian and Lisa serve as co-chairs and co-CEOs. Charlie Chaplin built the Charlie Chaplin Studios ? later the Jim Henson Company Studios in 2000 ? at La Brea Avenue in Hollywood in late 1917 and sold them in 1953. The site once housed A&M Records.
The Jim Henson Company is a strong supporter of LGBT equality and in July 2012, the Jim Henson Company cut ties with Chick-fil-a following an interview with company president Dan Cathy and recent revelations about the extent to which the company supports anti-gay organizations.[11] The Jim Henson Company gave their final residual check to GLAAD, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. Their press statement read:
?The Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and inclusiveness for over fifty years and we have notified Chick-Fil-A that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors. Lisa Henson, our CEO is personally a strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we received from Chick-Fil-A to GLAAD.?[11]
