I didn't think they had the distribution rights to that show.

As someone who waited and waited and waited for Seasons 4 & 5 on DVD, I am happy with this announcement.

They totally own it.

Seasons 4 & 5 never came out because of licensing issues over the songs performed.

Apparently, a multi-billion dollar entertainment company found a way to straighten that out (though, there *might* be some songs cut... <shrug>).

If they have to go for a New Orleans re-theme for Splash Mountain, they could do worse than a Muppets meet Linda Ronstadt version!

Plugging this old show into holes in the Disney+ schedule is certainly much cheaper than trying to revive the puppets yet AGAIN via new content. Especially since most of the new content has sucked.

Hope this just spurs Disney on to add all the classic Mickey/ Donald cartoons that made up the treasures collection

I had the sets on DVD and the picture quality was amazing. I'm excited to see how good they look on Disney+.
