DVD Request to Brian Ward: Muppets, Muppets, & MORE Muppets!
Dear Brian,

  I have a proposal for SHOUT! Factory: to make a deal with The Muppets Studio, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company, for SHOUT! to have the rights to all Muppets & Jim Henson titles on DVD.

  As part of SHOUT!'s Muppets & Jim Henson acquisition, which shall commence next Fall, after Lions Gate's distribution rights to Jim Henson Company products (sans Muppets) on DVD expire, SHOUT! will have FULL ownership of The Muppets Studio, LLC & The Jim Henson Company.

  The acquisition shall commence next Fall with a DVD compilation titled "The Jim Henson Collection," showcasing 1 episode each of EVERY series produced/created by Jim Henson, past and present, and The Jim Henson Company.

  I hope this is taken to consideration, and thanks for reading.

  Sincerely,
  Danny Hooley

I wouldn't mind a rerelease of Muppets Magic From the Ed Sullivan (with a non-vomit inducing cover). Disney seems to have warmed up to licensing their Muppets Studio characters to other home video companies.

ILDC, I believe all the Muppets licenses are owned by Disney, though I could be wrong.

Even the non-cameo crossover-based stuff?

Apparently because music rights are different there:
