five or six at the time. And I remember like Jim Henson died. This was a big deal. I was only five or six at the time.

And I remember, like, Jim Henson died.

You know, it was like a really big deal.

And it was like that and Kirk Cobain were the two big deaths of the 90s that, like,

got wall-to-wall coverage and people had, like, thoughts about it.

And that, you know, brings us to the Muppet Christmas Carol, which was the first Muppet film that was

produced subsequent to Hinson's death. It was also the first one that was produced in cooperation

with Disney. It was also the first one, of course, where Steve Wittmeyer performed as permit, taking over from Jim Hinson,

and he would be a very iconic permit from that point until 2016, I believe, when he stopped.

The Muppet Christmas Carol was a moderate box office success, but as you mentioned before Danny,

like it was up against an incredible roster of films.

And just as a quick aside, I want to read you a list to some of those films just so that you can get really, really depressed about

the date of Denimaux in 2025.

Random December in 1992.

Yeah, this is what it was up against in December of 1992.
