Disney will revive The Muppet Show
Last summer, the management of the Disney studio announced their desire to launch their own online service, whose subscribers will be able to access not only time-tested hits of large and small screens, but also completely new films and series. Several Star Wars projects and a multi-part show based on the Mighty Ducklings trilogy have already gone into work, and now The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Walt Disney's company is preparing to make a present for fans of another famous franchise.The television department of the Hollywood studio has begun work on the reboot of the legendary "The Muppet Show". In the mid-70s of the last century, Jim Henson's humorous program could not find shelter on American TV and went to win the hearts of British audiences. The weekly show was a hit on English ATV and won four Emmy Awards, including one for Best Entertainment Show. In 2004, Disney acquired the rights to the Muppets. Since then, the Hollywood film company has already managed to shoot two full-length films about the famous toy characters. In 2011, the movie The Muppets was released, which received rave reviews in the press and earned more than $ 165 million with a production budget of $ 45 million. It seemed that the Walt Disney empire would be able to build a successful film series, but in 2014, Muppets 2 was quite unexpected could not get to the level of self-sufficiency.  The attempt to return Kermit, Miss Piggy and Cookie Monster to television screens was also not very successful. In 2015, ABC premiered The Muppets, a parody of modern sitcoms in the mocumentari genre. The show did not impress strict TV critics and ordinary viewers, with the result that ABC management decided to close it after the first season.  Disney's management hopes to do some serious bug work and make the new Muppet Show one of the biggest hits for its streaming service. The Topic of Article: Disney will revive The Muppet Show. |
