The Muppets Present... Great Moments in American History

[Teebin]

This new show reminds me of the raptor show at IOA. Small expenditure for a very fun entertaining bang. (by small, I mean less than $1 million.)

 

[LieutLaww]

it cost $38 million to produce.......

Are you serious? Geezus Disney, have you no fiscal control over anything??? You've just gobsmacked me...

Well they have to account for the cost of licensing the characters as well.

I thought Disney owns The Muppets?

Of course i'm not serious And Disney doesn't have to pay itself licensing fees

I feel like he's kidding because of how over budget Disney tends to run.

There's no way a cheap show like this cost $38M.

Yeah, but WDW doesn't. They would license the characters from The Muppets Studio (which is a different subsidiary).

Ya got me with that one!
(kind of sad that I took it seriously, huh?)

Well...

If you include R&D of the initiative that this is a part of, then that price may make more sense. Also, when this was originally produced they didn't own the muppets, so licensing fees would still be a factor.

The current show is a shell of what it was ten years ago. It's slower and it seems many effects aren't working, including Beaker's pedaling.

I thought this was in reference to the show at MK?

 

[s8film40]

I thought this was in reference to the show at MK?

Me too, in any case I'm sure both are far more expensive then we think. I've seen so many examples of different departments and companies within the Disney company charging each other exhorbatant amounts creating massive budgets for things that should be pretty straightforward and simple.

 

[Teebin]

I was talking about the new show at HoP or whatever that area is called. Liberty Square?

Not talking about the Mobile Labs, I was talking about the MK show.

That moment when you realize you don't know what thread your in... :blank: :bonk:

It's likely the $38m figure comes form the whole living character initiative.

Not talking about the Mobile Labs, but the Liberty Square show.

Sorry, totally had a brain fart. No way that show was $38m.

 

[LieutLaww]

Nah the whole $38 million was just to mess with Teebin and see what he would say when I just plucked a figure out of my head
