And th...Uh, the Muppets aren't going anywhere.<br /><br />And that article linked to above seems a little hysterical. Whoever is quoted as saying "they don't have franchises, they don't have plans" is an idiot. Ross just got there. If there are no plans or franchises then you would need to blame Cook for that. And I'm not surprised at all that Oren got fired. I think alot of the the studio's recent disappointments came from failed marketing, and marketing is where Oren came from.<br /><br />The one thing that makes me nervous is the strategy of farming out production to all of these partners -- DreamWorks, Zemeckis, Marvel, Bruckheimer. They want to start focusing on Disney branded entertainment, but Disney isn't actually producing any of the films. Seems a little odd to me. And whether you like the films or not, "Wild Hogs" and "The Proposal" demonstrate that WDS can still produce big hits.Doopeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810664293028014984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-23786765938611609652010-01-13T11:11:47.452-08:002010-01-13T11:11:47.452-08:00I hope the next move is for Disney to get rid of t...I hope the next move is for Disney to get rid of the Muppets. Let some other schmuck studio overpay for them. Yeah, they got a lot of attention for Bohemian Rhapsody, but their Christmas special - despite the puppets appearing on TV hyping it - flopped TWICE (it was rebroadcast). Only a tiny niche audience digs anything they do, and it's not a large enough audience to bring forth a profit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-60693803382806617642010-01-13T09:24:29.578-08:002010-01-13T09:24:29.578-08:00Read this, not too encouraging...
