There’s a reason fans can’t find Muppet Babies available on streaming, despite the presence of many other classic Muppets shows on Disney+.Airing for eight seasons between 1984 and 1991, Muppet Babies was one of the most popular cartoon shows of its era with younger viewers. With nostalgia in mind, many fans who may recall watching the show at the time might be looking to revisit Muppet Babies on streaming, similar to how seemingly every other popular series from the time can now be found somewhere between Netflix, Hulu, Max, and all of the other platforms. And yet, Muppet Babies cannot be found anywhere, and the reason why was explained by Jim Henson cartoonist at a Los Angeles Comic-Con appearance, per Deadline.“Besides using the stuff that was in the public domain, like the silent stuff that we used in the dream sequences… Remember, the editing on that was incredibly wonderful. We used a lot of film clips from a lot of different things, including Raiders [of the Lost Ark], Star Wars, and all of that,” Gilchrist said. “Jim [Henson] was very good with George Lucas. George came in and worked on Labyrinth with Jim and that was not their first collaboration. Their first collaboration was… they were across the street from each other. Jim was filming The Muppets and George was doing Star Wars across the street. Yoda didn’t work, so Jim, Frank and Kathy Mullen fixed Yoda. Then, Steven Spielberg was also a very dear friend of Jim’s, and Jim fixed E.T. because E.T. didn’t work.”
