Jim Henson's Muppet Babies
I know Disney owns the muppets and all, but I have a little daughter only a year old that would love this show. I was curious even if it has to be individual dvds if Shout could do this series.

I own these shows from Shout Factory: Sonic the Hedgehog the complete series, Adventures of Sonic the hedgehog season 1 and 2, Sonic Underground seasons 1 and 2, Mario Bros. 3 the complete series, captain N and the new super mario world, legend of zelda, Super Mario Bros. Super Show Seasons 1 and 2 Check out my ToonstarTV show Talisheek's Bloggie @ http://www.youtube.com/NoserProductions

RE: Jim Henson's Muppet Babies
If it's own by Disney then Shout! cannot make the dvds cause Disney has its own dvd publishing company. You would have to ask Disney and not Shout!.

Awesome show but it would be awfully expensive to get the rights  to all the movie clips they used back then  in every episode

RE: Jim Henson's Muppet Babies
Thats the thing Disney owns like 60% of the worlds Muppets

60% to disney

30% to Sesame Workshop

then 10% other (example Fraggle Rock is with HiT and Lionsgate just like the Muppet Dr. Seuss show

But Im unsure where Muppet Babies is under even if the show has Kermit and Gonzo in it doesn't mean Disney owns it.
...I think

The biggest problem would be Lucas wanting his share of the cut for all the Star Wars parts in it. This is one toon I doubt we will ever see on DVD from a legit company. FWIW I think overall this is one of the best cartoons ever produced.

RE: Jim Henson's Muppet Babies
Now I remember it was Marvel that had Muppet Babies, cause I remember seeing Spiderman and Marvel Productions appear after the shows credits. Disney holds the rights outside the US and not only that theres Claster which is a subsidiary of Hasbro, so now thats 3 different companies to deal with.

@ Omega Supreme: Not only for Star Wars but for Indiana Jones as well, since they are both Lucasart Films.

And not let us forget the $25,000 Pyramid would want a cut as well, the same goes for UCLA and Seaworld, also Universal Pictures, the New York Lotto, oh yes even CNN has a hand in this as well.

Sorry to rain on everyone's parade here, I think I just shot this idea down.
