“They don’t want me because I won’t follow orders and I won’t do the kind of Muppets they believe in,” he continued. Just how does Oz describe the new version of the Muppets?After years of wrangling, Disney bought Henson’s beloved characters in 2004.

The center of that universe, Henson, died in 1990 of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome as he was negotiating a deal with then-Disney CEO“The Disney deal is probably what killed Jim,” he claimed to the Guardian. “It made him sick.”. “Eisner was trying to get Sesame Street, too, which Jim wouldn’t allow. But Jim was not a dealer, he was an artist, and it was destroying him, it really was,” says Oz.
Disney never got the Sesame Street characters but, Oz laments, he’s not able to work with them, either.
