re\'s nothing quite like the sight of adults fighting over a bunch of lovable kids\' characters. It all began in August 1988 with the intended matrimony of Mickey Mouse and Miss Piggy. In a gush of common admiration [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Walt Disney Co., creator and marketer of some of the world\'s most renowned characters, announced it would buy Henson Associates, Inc. and its family of .the equally beloved Moppets like Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy. It was, said Disney leader Michael Eisner, a match \"made in family-entertainment heaven\". For inventor Jim Henson [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the $ 150 million deal would assure for the Muppets a long and profitable life.
However [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jim Henson died suddenly last year (1990), and the merger deal was never consummated. Last week (1991) licensing talks between the two companies broke up in a row of brutal name-calling. Henson Associates filed and invective-filled lawsuits that dictate Disney with infringing above the trademark and copyright namely defend its Muppet characters. It queried a federal tribunal in New York to haft a Muppet 3-D movie scheduled to start showing afterward month at Walt Disney World in Florida. Among other niceties, Henson\'s suit accused Disney of \"sheer corporate arrogance\", \"corporate greed\" and sprinting \"roughshod\" over the Muppets. For its chapter, Disney said the suit embodied an \"enormous perversion of the facts\" and painted the Henson heiresses as balky children reneging ashore their famous father\'s wishes. It was for whether Mickey Mouse had called Miss Piggy hideous one time also many.
The relationship between the two sides actually began quite smoothly nearly 25 years antecedent while Henson and Eisner, then at ABC, developed a friendship. By 1989 Disney had grown into a movie-and-theme-park powettvoxise. ensign\' & company, too, had grown, thanks to the Muppet TV shows, movies and \"Sesame Street,\" But Henson, says a company source was seeing for a \"lasting home for Miss Piggy and Kermit\". Disney discerned the Muppet characters as a invaluable set of \"evergreens\" ? properties that could be introduced to current generations of children.
The two sides signed a letter of intent to give Disney use of the Muppet characters in its theme parks, television and movies. Henson would produce TV shows and membranes for Disney. Notably precluded from the deal were Henson\'s \"Sesame Street\" characters, like Big Bird; they would remain with the Children\'s Television Workshop.
Why did Henson and Disney proceed without a compact? \"Jim didn\'t give a damn about legalities and he nearly didn\'t care about money,\" says a Henson attorney familiar with the negotiations. Disney, which says it spent $ 90 million on joint shows at Disney World, namely anticipated to argue that Henson\'s cooperation characterized an \"implied license\" allowing Disney to use Muppet characters. Last May, Henson died suddenly of pneumonia at the old of 53. His son, Brian, 27, took over as premier. Although Eisner supposedly guaranteed the household the amount wouldn?t alteration, the merger talked worked from wrong to worse.
Finally last December, the suit alleges, Disney president Frank Webs slit the attempting price at \"tens of millions of greenbacks.\" The Henson side demands that Disney purposely hauled out negotiations after Henson\'s death until his associates had completed programming for the 3-DMovie. The alleged reason: to get \"all the fruits\" of Henson\'s ingenious work without paying for it.
Talks presently collapsed and the combination was cried off. An attempt to reach a licensing accord to grant Disney to use the Muppet personas likewise broke down in recriminations.
But there is another tangle to this story. Disney and Henson are working together ? more and less amicably ? on the new TV show \"Dinosaurs\", which debuts this Friday. Both sides: ould realize millions if the show is a kick. Given that prospect, the combatants may try to perch he Muppets suit fast. After always, nice children know how to share their toys.
There\'s nought quite like the sight of adults fighting over a bunch of lovable
