Talk:Muppets Holding Company LLC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] subsidary name

What's the source for the name change from Muppets Holding Company to Muppets Studio? MHC has been using the Studio name as a moniker since they started launching new products when the Muppets were acquired by Disney. However, all the latest merchandise still credits Muppets Holding Company, as does Muppets.com —scarecroe 16:41, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

The Muppets Studio, LLC is the actual name of the business referred to by The Walt Disney Company. You will not find any mention of the Muppets Holding Company LLC in any updated Disney literature. --Speedway 14:54, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Where would one find such Diseny literature? Basically, we need a source. —scarecroe 16:26, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Muppets Holding Company was changed to The Muppets Studio in 2006. The change in name was due to a management change at the subsidiary and it's movement from the consumer products division to the Disney studios division. The Muppets are no longer part of Disney Consumer Products (as seen on DCP's webpage). The first "The Muppet Studio" copyrighted release was "The Muppets: A Green and Red Christmas" album from Walt Disney Records in Fall 2006. Ps1082 14:01, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

"Muppet Studio," and derivations therein, has been used on some products as an advertising gag. All current merchandise is still being stamped with Muppets Holding Company LLC. There's currently no evidence that the subsidary has received a legal name change on the books. —scarecroe 00:23, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
