It’s time to play the music and light the lights! If you’ve been following along with MickeyBlog you’ll know that last month we shared the exciting news that vintage seasons of The Muppet Show are coming to Disney+ starting Friday, February 19th. This includes all of the original seasons including 4&5 which have never previously be released on home entertainment.
When it comes to Disney+ fans of The Muppets will truly be spoiled for choice! Not only can you check out Kermit, Piggy and the rest of the gang on “Muppets Now” but you can also celebrate some important milestones with Jim Henson’s crew including the 25th Anniversary of Muppet Treasure Island and the 30th Anniversary of Dinosaurs.
And for GOLD MEMBERS of Disney’s D23 fan club, you can also participate in a Muppetational celebration held the day before the new episodes make their debut!
A Muppetational Legacy with D23 will premiere on Thursday, February 18, 2021 at 7pm EST. The event will be hosted by Leigh Slaughter (Vice President, Muppets Studios) who will be joined by legendary Puppeter Bill Barretta who works with Pepe, Rowlf and Swedish Chef along with Puppeteer Dave Goelz (Gonzo, Bunsen Honeydew, Waldorf), Kevin Bishop (actor, Jim Hawkins) and Ben Henson (Director, Producer, Chairman of the Jim Henson Company.)
The event will offer a fun, wide-ranging conversation that looks back at Disney Legend Jim Henson’s incredible career as well as the long and successful collaborations between The Muppets and Disney!
