Let's take a look a Disney owned franchise we haven't discussed yet, with The Muppets. The Movie: The Muppets is the first movie featuring the title characters since Disney acquired the franchise in 2004. The characters of the Muppets were first created by Jim Henson in the 1950s, and they appeared on various TV shows including Sesame Street starting in 1969 and The Muppet Show from 1976 to 1981. They also made their first movie appearance in The Muppet Movie in 1979. The movie The Muppets in 2011 was the first Muppet film since 1999. The movie was strongly pushed by Jason Segel, who starred in and co-wrote the script for the movie. The Muppets was met with critical acclaim. It was considered a modest box-office success despite being the highest grossing of any Muppet movie. The Muppets stars Jason Segel as Gary, who along with his brother Walter, a muppet, grew up in Smalltown as fans of the Muppets. Gary is taking a trip to Los Angeles with his girlfriend Mary
