I guess Carano’s post-Disney movie career with Ben Shapiro wasn’t paying the bills. With Musk having skin in the game this shitshow is gonna be so fun to watch, but the better part of me knows Disney is just gonna settle out of court for some undisclosed amount and the chuds will say they “won.”
Bert and Ernie are from Sesame Street, not The Muppets. I hope the case gets thrown out just for that.
Edit: They also don’t seem to be owned by Disney either, unless they actually originated on The Muppets.
“Notably in 2004, Disney acquired The Muppets from The Jim Henson Company, consisting of much of The Muppets film and television library. However, the acquisition did not include Sesame Street. Sesame Street ownership still currently falls under the Sesame Workshop, formerly the Children’s Television Workshop (CTW).”
