Frank Oz: Disney doesn't get The Muppets

The Hollywood Reporter

The legendary puppeteer says Disney's heart is in the right place in trying to revive the franchise, which included a failed ABC sitcom in the 2015-16 season. "As much as Disney loves The Muppets and wants the best for The Muppets — and they truly believe they can do it — they don't get it," says Oz. "They don't get the true rebellion and true affection underneath those characters."
