It seems like the crew of Muppet Babies reboot and Disney are in court right now. And happen to be in trouble with Jeffrey Scott,  Who developed the concept for television, and was the series' sole writer for the first three seasons of the original Muppet Babies series. According to Hollywood reporter it says "the pattern of the nanny’s socks change every episode. That variation spawned a copyright infringement lawsuit against Disney from Jeffrey Scott, a screenwriter of the original series, that was dismissed due to unusual circumstances surrounding his personal bankruptcy." "After some legal maneuvering by Scott in bankruptcy court to revive his case, a federal judge on Monday rebuffed Disney’s bid to dismiss the lawsuit. U.S. District Judge Stanley Blumenfeld found that Disney may have copied elements of the show from the original Muppet Babies production bible that Scott created in the 1980s." "Scott in 2020 sued Disney, but the case didn’t get far. It turned out that Scott’s bankruptcy estate owned the production bible central to his claims. Without ownership of the asset, he had no standing to sue." Help with this petition.
