Will Muppet Babies ever be released to DVD?

[Oliver]

Now that the Henson family has regained all of it's shares in the company, are there plans to release an extended catalogue from their classic series?

Also, has there been any word on a Muppet Babies compilation dvd release of a couple episodes? What do the Henson's plan on doing with this cartoon series, is it just going to sit amongst the archives of unreleased material or will they ever revive this show through digital medium and preserve some episodes on dvd?

[jediX]

Probably not for a long time, if at all. You never know, though. They released a few cassettes of Muppet Babies in 1993 along with Fraggle Rock tapes - long after both series' ended.

[Amazing Mumford]

My opinion is that Muppet Babies would be one of the LEAST likely Henson projects to appear on DVD.

For one, there haven't been many animated series released on DVD from other companies with the exception of more action-oriented shows like Transformers or adult-oriented shows like The Simpsons.

Also, Muppet Babies doesn't seem to have the same cult following as Fraggle Rock or TMS. These cult followings are really necessary for strong sales of a DVD set. Think about it: most parents aren't going to casually pick up a $30+ DVD set for their kids at Walmart--especially for a show that hasn't been shown on TV in years. So, you need the avid fans and collectors (who are sure to buy it) to ensure a profitable release.

I think the best hope to see Muppet Babies again would be on cable channels like Cartoon Network or Toon Disney. It was definitely one of my favorite cartoons and I would love to see it rebroadcast somewhere.

[dwayne1115]

i e mailed the JHC and they sadly said that that and some ther things i asked about would not be on DVD anytime soon. but i think that fragal rock will most defanetly be on DVD but not to sure. it would be neat they could even but one of the cartoons as part of the specal featers. i just wonder if they will ever but the box set of sesame street like the frist season i would love that, i mean they would but Saved by the Bell in a box set but not sesame street somthing is bad wrong there.
I love to see al the old clips and main storys that i didnt get to see from when the show started to 1983 i didnt get to see any of them . so any way it will be neat to see what happens. :p :( :grouchy:

Think about it: most parents aren't going to casually pick up a $30+ DVD set for their kids at Walmart--especially for a show that hasn't been shown on TV in years

I would disagree about the 'cult following' bit. I used to run a Muppet Babies website (it's still technically up, but I've been too busy with school to update it for years). I would get tonnes of e-mails asking me if I knew where to get MuB stuff (and it's surprising - besides videos the most requested item was Muppet Baby wallpaper). I also got tonnes of emails from people saying how much they loved the show and how much they wished it was back on TV.

I think a lot of parents would be willing to buy a DVD set of the Muppet Babies/ Why? Because they know it's quality stuff, having grown up with it themselves. They know they can put it on and feel confident that they're child is watching something fun yet safe, educational, and inspiring.

[Oliver]

I agree, it was a terrific imaginative show and I don't see why the Henson company wouldn't release a compilation disc of even just a few episodes. Why not make it commercially viable when they own licensing rights and will only profit from it, it doesn't make much sense to leave it neglected?

[Kamit]

I think the Muppet Babies would go over quite well today - if it was marketed properly. I think part of the problem (not just with the Muppet Babies but with all sorts of Muppet stuff) is that when the stuff does come out it really comes out under the radar. You either find the stuff by accident (usually stuffed way in the back somewhere) or you have to seriously search it out (which most casual Muppet fans don't).

A lot of the Muppet Baby stuff was designed to appeal to a wide audience. I had a fellow (who used to write for the Muppet Babies) e-mail me once and say Jim Henson was adament that the show had to appeal to people outside as well as inside the US and that they should avoid following 'pop trends' so that the show would be relevant for years to come.

And it is. My Muppet Baby tapes are my secret babysitting weapon. I've showed them to all sorts of kids, who had never seen them before, on different occasions, and within three minutes these kids were all glued to the screen (of course I'm right there with them - cause I want to watch too! :) ) They were left asking for more.

[jediX]

I'd love to see them as DVD's but I'm not counting on it, at least not for a while. That show always was funny to me and I still think it is, I don't see why people don't like it. MB and FR (animated) were essential parts of my childhood and I don't want to lose them.

[dwayne1115]

look its really not going to happen any time soon. In athour Thred we are talking about a muppet Babies Movie and i just dont even think that will work.

Here is why and i said this over there if you did not grow up with the muppet babies or are a die hard fan you dont know about them. it would caues to many qustions you take a survey of younger kid who the DVD would be geared toward
Now dont get mad at that it is just the Hard truth but if you took a sruvey of yonger kids today they whould say they have no ideah who they are.
What needs to happen befor they are on DVD is they need to be back on Tv ethier re runs or make some New ones or maybe even do teen muppets Where they are Teen agers going thourgh high school and the problems at high school. Now that would work. Maybe any way that just the sad truth about the muppet babies they really in the mind of kids today dont even exitsts. :eek:


sorry if i dissapoined anyone or if i sound like i dont love the MB i do but they are not on TV or anything so they really dont exitst.

[Baby Rowlf]

I personally think a Muppet Babies DVD would be hip! (Sorry Fozzie! ;) ) With the 80s revival going on and things like Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake being released onto DVD, I think the Muppet Babies would be a great idea! Thing is though, they need to release the early episodes since those were the best ones..:)

[jediX]

Yea...I never much cared as much for the episodes with Bean and those others.

[Baby Rowlf]

Yea...I never much cared as much for the episodes with Bean and those others.

Me neither. After Henson died, the quality of that show went way downhill.

[janicegroupie]

With the 80s revival going on and things like Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake being released onto DVD, I think the Muppet Babies would be a great idea! I'd have to agree with that. I know with Care Bears my little brother and sister had no idea who they were until all the stuff was advertised and rereleased so the same thing could happen with Muppet Babies if they advertised it to kids they would know who they were. Plus there's all the people who grew up with it and love it who would buy it.

[dwayne1115]

it wont work you alll it just wont work and the smart people at henson know this.

[Baby Rowlf]

I'd have to agree with that. I know with Care Bears my little brother and sister had no idea who they were until all the stuff was advertised and rereleased so the same thing could happen with Muppet Babies if they advertised it to kids they would know who they were. Plus there's all the people who grew up with it and love it who would buy it.

That reminds me of two things: Didn't Odyssey want to make new Muppet Babies shows? And in regards to the Muppet Babies software that came out, did they get the old voice actors to do the voices?

Baby Rowlf

[Beauregard]

There has been a lot of MB talk on MC recently, maybe JHC will take a hint. Anyway, I think people would buy these. Many because of the word MUPPET in the title.

[jediX]

Anyway, I think people would buy these. Many because of the word MUPPET in the title.

I'd buy pretty much anything Henson puts out... I get very completist when it comes to stuff I collect.

[Chilly Down]

Henson has already announced plans to roll out a bunch of Babies merchandise within the next year, in honor of the show's 20th anniversary. If those sales do well, I expect we might be seeing Muppet Babies on DVD before too long.

[Beauregard]

Goo Babies!

Sorry.

Go Babies!

[baby sinclair]

i agree but what will make a big impression on jhc is when the fraggles come to dvd this january that all you guys buy them ;) and if fraggle rock sales then definatley we will see more henson shows on dvd so in other words get as many people as you can and reccomend fraggle rock to them so more of our favorite shows get released. :D :)

[Aaron]

Muppet Babies episodes will be on DVD the
first one will be out in 2004.

[Beauregard]

Where did you here this, and do you have a link?

Goo Babies...oh, I've already done that joke...

[Aaron]

[Chilly Down]

Hmm. This RPGibbs guy claims the show will be available, but he's not an official news source. And what's this weird stuff about the shows being "recolored"? I'll wait for a DVD news source to report it before I believe this one.

Dude, that reminds me. I saw Muppet Babies pillows and plushies and stuff at claire's! does anyone know if they've made a Baby Rowlf pillow yet? I've just seen Baby Gonzo and Baby Piggy so far..

[Mayhem Roadie]

I just got back from a local Target (Hayward CA) and they had Muppet Baby Plush!!!! They were about 10" tall, and sitting in an open faced box. They had Kermit, Piggy, and Fozzie, available right then and there, but Fozzie was the only one who's outfit was true to the show. The back of the box advertised Animal, Rowlf, and Gonzo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I want a Rowlf so bad!!!!). These retailed for $14.99 each, and there was also a shelf tag for Muppet Babies Beanies, but none were present.

OH YEAH! Each plush came with a DVD that has 1 Episode of Muppet Babies, each disk appeared to corrospond with the character.

[jediX]

Yea, I saw those yesterday, too... picked up a Gonzo.

Quite shocked about the dvd... never thought I'd see them.

[Phillip Chapman]

What manufacturer name is on the plush/DVD combos?

[jediX]

Same as the beans, Toy Play.

Need a scan/pic of anything?

[Phillip Chapman]

I'll let you know if we need anything else. Thanks.

[Warrick]

Could you post a scan/photo of the Larger plush and DVD please?


Thanks

[jediX]

I'll scan the dvd label, dvd packet, and take a few shots of the packaging--minus the toy. I'll upload em to my site and post a link here when I get them up.

[Buttercup]

My little brother is a HUGE Muppet Babies fan, and Fraggle Rock for that matter. We found two old MB tapes for him and three Fraggle tapes (Goodwill gets them in occasionally) and he plays with my old MB toys all the time. It's a good thing that my Palisades Scooter is so sturdy because Scooter and Skeeter are his favorites. (he has also been known to tote around Rowlf and the Swedish Chef, he knows the Swedish Chef song :D )

[King Prawn]

I really hope this DVD rumour is true.

The good thing about MB is that Idoubt we'll get seasons sets at first... if at all so if we get any they'll probably be put together in some sort of catogory, The muppet's did many fairy tales, Peter Pan, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty... so we could have for example Muppet Babie's Fairty Tales or Muppet Traveling and there are a handfull of episodes that could fall in one catogory. Why i've said all this I have no idea.

[McFraggle]

I think with the Disney acquisition, eventually they will release episodes on DVD. If not complete seasons then a few episodes per DVD. They will probably do this after they re-introduce the franchise. As someone else said, 80s properties are making a big comeback and Muppet Babies certainly fits that bill.

[Ryan]

Is Muppet Babies under their control? I think that's HIT's property now, but I don't remember.

[jediX]

I'd assume it is, seeing as they bought everything with 'Muppet' on it as well as the characters. I'm not sure how crossover stuff like MFC was handled, though.

[McFraggle]

Yes, Disney got Muppet Babies in addition to the other properties.

[Ryan]

Oh, well, yeah, it's very likely then.

[Zajiue]

Hi everyone, first post for me.

I've been waiting in vain for a long time for Muppet Babies to come out on tape or DVD. Having already bought up everything possible on ebay and contacting piraters to no avail, now I'm just waiting. :( I'll be completely honest in that I've never enjoyed anything to do with the Muppets besides Muppet Babies. It's my favorite cartoon of all time (I'm 24 now) and a big favorite with my little cousins who are 3 & up, they'd rather watch the same Muppet babies tapes that I own over and over rather than stuff like Yu-gi-Oh or Teen Titans. Is there anything we could do to speed up this process of asking for Muppet babies to be released on DVD? If I was more computer savvy, I'd start up an online petition. Is there anyone on this forum with the resources to do this? Please contact me.

- Tiffany

[bobhopesite]

Look at target they have them with a stuffed animal.

[Zajiue]

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the advice but I already own all those episodes. I was one of the first to jump out there and purchase those stuffed animals for $15.99 a piece to get one episode on DVD. Who doesn't want the entire series on DVD? Btw, what Disney needs to do is take a look on ebay. Series like Ducktales are selling for over 150 dollars for 100 episodes on DVD. I'm sure the quality is atrocious as well. There's a resurgence in interest of older cartoons. There is one person on ebay that is selling the 11 episodes of Muppet babies that is available for purchase on VHS on a DVD for about 10 dollars a pop. I'm sure the entire series would sell for a lot more but no one seems to have the entire series.

[McFraggle]

All I can tell you is to be patient. I think the most likely thing is that Muppet Babies will probably show up on Disney Channel or Toon Disney sometime shortly. That is just speculation on my part. While you won't have them on DVD, you could tape them off TV. I don't know if a market is there to release season sets like with more adult cartoons like "The Simpsons" and "South Park."

[Zajiue]

I will be patient because I have to be patient but I do have to mention that it is completely untrue that there is no market out there for season sets of the Muppet Babies. Cartoons, especially children's cartoons from the 80s are extremely popular on www.amazon.com and are selling like hotcakes nowadays. I'm not really a fan of DVD as much as VHS but I do have to appreciate the amazing sets that are offered on DVD now. Jem is on DVD right now as well as GI Joe and the Transformers and Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors. Many of these 80s cartoon dvd sets are linked from one to another so that buyers on amazon.com know what is available and familiar names will trigger memories and curiousity for days of old will make them click on the links, I certainly did. :) 26 episodes of Jem are on sale for $59.95 and it is ranked in the Top 800 items for sale on the site and has over 100 customer reviews.

If Muppet Babies is eventually shown on the Disney Channel or something of the sort, I will definitely watch it and definitely tape it off the t.v., but if it is shown and gets to be as popular as it was back in the day ('cause there's very little programming that is nonviolent on t.v. nowadays) I believe that it will be released on DVD then. I really hope so anyway.

[beaker]

I'll be completely honest in that I've never enjoyed anything to do with the Muppets besides Muppet Babies.

um....ok. :( :( :(

at any rate, ya do make a point about some sort of 80's cartoon revival for dvd colelctors...I mean they have GEM colelctor dvd sets. Gem. yeah, its the apocalypse. Btw, which company put out the muppet baby plush/dvd sets? That is so lame they only have one episode per item. hopefully someone can rip all of em plus other good quality archive stuff to one dvd?

[jediX]

Btw, which company put out the muppet baby plush/dvd sets? Toy Play.

[GonzoLeaper]

JEM is my name!

Just so you all know, the cartoon's spelt Jem. And it does have a pretty catchy theme song. It's not too bad of a cartoon. As to the topic, give it time and I wouldn't be suprised to see a full Muppet Babies VHS and DVD release soon. Rhino has released a lot of cool 1980s cartoons on home video. If enough people express interest in the Muppet Babies, they might release that set too! (assuming they have the rights and all) :mad: :o :sympathy:

[Gonzo]

BTW, I was in my closest Target the other day, and the Muppet Babies w/DVD had been cut in price from 14.99 to 9.99...in case anyone was looking at getting one of them anyway. The smaller Beanies had a price cut as well--I think they were 2.99 instead of 5.99.

:sympathy:

[Gonzo]

JEM is my name!

Truly outrageous.

my target has them fo 12.99/ea well i bought them they are really no better then the ones Micky D's had in 1986 the dvd's are just Eps' on dvd no xtra's

Maybe they asked Disney.

[maxdrive]

if they asked dysney they wouldnt sell them on the internet they would produce them to sell in stores besides they would have to play dysney money for the rights to make the dvds like a contract i dotn think they did that

[Kimp the Shrimp]

Muppet babies is Ranked 264th Currently out of over 1000's of TV Shows on Dvd @ TVSHOWSONDVD.COM

[McFraggle]

Maybe they asked Disney.

Yes, I'm sure. :smirk: Then Disney would politely send them a cease and desist letter. :)

[beforemyway]

Perhaps if there was a place online that publiclly proved that people WANT muppet Babies.. and enough of them want it to make it worth the while of producers.. they would bring them out again. All we need is a way to prove it's wanted by a very large following..

[McFraggle]

I'm sure if stuff starts selling, we'll see something. :D

[Zajiue]

No demand for Muppet Babies on DVD? Take a look at this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...ssPageName=WDVW

It's up to $103.50 for 50 episodes and there's still 1 day and 4 hours left. I think there is a demand. This isn't the first listing you know.

Besides, it might be the people who favor the Muppet Show over Muppet Babies who say things like that. I for one, never did take a liking to the Muppet Show. Sad but true.

- Zajiue

[maxdrive]

yeah i thinkt here is a demand for dvds i bet the people that bought the muppet babie doll for there child maybe bought it jsut for the dvd.

[McFraggle]

If there is a market for some of the stuff I see on DVD, then I'm sure there is a market for the "Muppet Babies."

[Beauregard]

I know I would buy season sets of Muppet Babies, and I won't even fork out for Star Trek eason sets, so there must be some kind of demard, right? From at least one of us...

[McFraggle]

I'm with you Beau, so that makes two of us. :D

[MustangRockstar]

I'm with you Beau, so that makes two of us. :D

As mentioned in the other thread i think the problem is the format. Shows like Garfield, Ninja Turtles and others can get away with narrower profit margins because everything is produced in house. The muppet babies has so many clips from so many films that you'd end up paying a lot more for the set and frankly i just can't see it making money that way.

[McFraggle]

I agree that it would take some time to get all the licenses.

[Beauregard]

Oh, yeah, didn't think of that. Boy what a lot of licencing they'd have to do for one episode of Muppet Babies ;)

[bobhopesite]

Sweet!

[dwayne1115]

yea but that has already been paied for by henson at an earlyer time so i would asum that it would be a final sale. just guseing.

Some of the footage was older so it may be public domain.

yea but that has already been paied for by henson at an earlyer time so i would asum that it would be a final sale. just guseing.

your right ti be like wathcing one of the cosby eppisodes with muppets in it

[McFraggle]

I've haven't seen that in a while.

[maxdrive]

i saw both not to long ago the one where ray charles sings its not easy being green and the dream sequence that has muppets the bigest being gonzo and wardof they then has bill cosby play as statler with him it was funny to see if they still show them they must beable to show the stuf fin muppet babies most the stuff is henson related any way

[Zack the Dog]

For one, there haven't been many animated series released on DVD from other companies with the exception of more action-oriented shows like Transformers or adult-oriented shows like The Simpsons.

Although this quote is "Octobery 2003" old!...LOL, that is very un true now, shows such as Garfield and Friends, Pee Wee's Playhouse, The Raccoons, Ren and Stimpy, and older classic cartoons such as Looney Tunes, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Wacky Racers, Fintstones, Scooby Doo, the Jetsons, Top Cat and so on. More cartoons are bound to come, not all will be full sets or seasons like recent Fat Albert. But more and more cartoon/kids shows are coming to DVD.


I don't know what Disney's plans are as they own the rights now but I hope they eventulay do, they really should start putting DVD's of there own shows out now, like DuckTales, TaleSpin, Gummi Bears. Maybe it's because they still play them on Toon Disney...er well, not Gummi Bears anymore for some reason....but they don't play the classic's as much now with the newer cartoons about kids, kid super heros, alien's, talking dogs, and teenage witches all going to school.......But back to dvd's, it's not just Simpsons, Family Guy and Kind of the Hill. I'll bet will get much more in the years to come, with the talk about the new CGI Chipmunks movie....yuck! but it could bring the shows classic and the newer 80's one to dvd. it worked for Garfield, Rocky and Bullwinkle, and even Fat Albert!

I could seem the Smurfs, RugRats, Peanuts and many other cartoon toons to come to dvd with in the comming years! it's so cool! Plus we all know Fraggle Rock and the Muppet show seasons ARE coming!

As for the rights to the many clips of films in Muppet Babies, wouldn't you think they would already be paid for? look at all the songs in The Muppet show and eps of that were put on DVD, i don't think they had to pay out each right to the song on the muppet show, they would be chopped up more the MFC if that was the case!!! :) I don't know for sure but i would think it would already be paid for, seeing as shows were released on video before.

[MustangRockstar]

yea but that has already been paied for by henson at an earlyer time so i would asum that it would be a final sale. just guseing.

I wish it were that easy but many of the rights were sold for the TV show, not the home video {or in this case DVD} sales of the show.

Gotta remember 20 years ago, the idea of releasing a TV show to home audiences seemed impossible. For one the VHS format just wasnt big enough {Space wise} and they didn't think there was a market for such product.

You're seeing a lot of shows face rights issues right now as a result. That is what has held shows like Moonlighting and {until recently} Miami Vice up.

Heck even Married with Children had to change their theme song to proceed with more season sets.

Having said that you guys might want to know the Smurfs is out on DVD but the catch is that it was designed for the Quebec market and is thus in French. However anything is possible.

Furthermore He-Man is coming to DVD and it looks like 2005 will be another big year for tv animation.

BTW I didn't know Racoons was released when did/will this happen? I've never heard it mentioned before now.

[Zack the Dog]

BTW I didn't know Raccoons was released when did/will this happen? I've never heard it mentioned before now.

Yup! Not season sets, just boxes of three dvd's with three eps on each disk, plus some very cool extra features on the disk and even for use on your compture! and Len Carlson the voice of Bert Raccoon even does new voice over intros on the dvds!

the first set of 9 came out around fall of 2003, and the second set came out over this past summer in july, but I just heard about the second set a few days ago and just bought it on line so i will be getting that one soon!

These are mainly sold in Canada, but MediaPlay hosts them on there website but last i check they are on back order. I know for a fact that they were never in Media Play stores in my area, i check way too often! lol! Sill Amazon and Ebay have them, plus some other websites. They do seem very
"low run" though and unfortunutly the eps are not being released in order but it's just great to have The Raccoons on dvd! So there is a total of 18 eps on dvd now. I actually own the whole set taped off tv that a very nice person gave to me, plus all four specials.

i heard a rumor, i don't know for sure, but that Jessica Simpson might be signing or has her own version of "Run with Us" which is the ending theme song to the Raccoons....I don't know how i feel about that, but i just hope it brings more Raccoon stuff! I also heard about a CD of Raccoons music might be released too, but i don't know for sure. I have a CD with most of the songs from the cartoon which i love! Great music was a big part of that show just like how it is with Fraggle Rock!! Muppets are my number one, but The Raccoons are my number 2! If you love the Raccoons like I do, check out this website! it's awesome! There more links and info about the dvd's plus other lloads of stuff about the show! Pink ardvarrk bent on world domination? Yeah! they got that!

I don't know what Disney's plans are as they own the rights now but I hope they eventulay do, they really should start putting DVD's of there own shows out now, like DuckTales, TaleSpin, Gummi Bears. Maybe it's because they still play them on Toon Disney...er well, not Gummi Bears anymore for some reason....

I agree. :)

[erniebert1234ss]

what are disney's plans, now that they want to make Kermie as big as Mickey and Pooh?

BJ

[Beauregard]

*shiver*

If they can make him as big as Pooh (Don't take that the wrong way folks ;) ), I'll be happy, BUT if they lose the integrity of the character the way they did with Pooh...

...it would be, shall we say, :attitude: a disaster.

Actually, Disney DID release Gargoyls to DVD. I felt that was pretty random, though. I mean, I'd expect at least Ducktales to be release by now (or in a year... it'll be the 20th anniversary).

Muppet Babies may/may not come to DVD depending on if Dis finds it marketable. And if they do, they better not use the edited syndication prints like they did with the 90's video releases.

I mean, if Henson still had the Muppets, there'd be a bigger possibility. With Disney.... you just NEEEEVER know what's gonna happen!

[Zack the Dog]

Gargoyls to DVD? Pah! Don't care for Gargoyls! Sorry for those who do, i just didn't like the show that much, but i did watch it, i'm not saying it was a bad show, but to me it's nothing compaired to DuckTales, Gargoyls don't seem Disney to me but more WB in my opintion. Wait where they with WB first? why do i have they feeling that they were? i can't remember where the show first aird? Fox? or WB?

[Drtooth]

Gargoyles was made by Disney, and aired in syndication with the Disney Afternoon. From what I heard, the fans were badgering Disney to release it on DVD. How their clucking was louder than Ducktales fans, I'll never know. But if they can release such an obscure show, they certainly could release a show with a popular Disney Character as the star. Scrooge McDuck, Chip and Dale, and Baloo at the least.

[McFraggle]

I agree. :)

More cartoons are bound to come, not all will be full sets or seasons like recent Fat Albert. But more and more cartoon/kids shows are coming to DVD.

The reason Ren & Stimpy was reissued, was because Nickelodeon felt the show was too adult to be on their station. So they canned John Kricfaulsi, the creator, and made milder (and by most people's accounts, lamer) versions of Ren & Stimpy shows.

So the DVD set out for Ren & Stimpy now is the uncut shows, that were censored over time by Nickelodeon.

The same story with Invader Zim, by the way. Nick thought the show was too adult for a kids' audience. Frankly, you would think Jhonen Vasquez would've market the show to like Adult Swim. Alot of the humor on Invader Zim is based on horror films.

Also, who here loves GIR?
