The reason that Diz bought the Muppets is they want to leech off of another company since as of late, they haven't been successful with many projects (but Teacher's Pet was a really satisfying Cinematic experiance for me) especially since Pixar dumped them.
On the plus side, I could see Muppet attractions at parks, giving me a reason to go. On the negative side... I feel I shouldn't discuss it, or even think about it! By them purchasing, they purchased the Muppet Show characters (I.e. Kermit, Piggy, Animal, Dr. Teeth, Pepe, etc) and Bear in the Big Blue house. Sesame Street characters (Cookie Monster, Big Bird, Oscar, etc.) are property of Sesame Workshop (formerly known as Children's television workshop) JHC (Jim Henson Company) still retains the rights to Fraggles and other things, plus they are the employment agency of the Muppeteers. There were talks way before this of a Diz/ JHC partnership in which they'd just release henson products, but they just seemed to want to milk money out of the characters,.
