Eisner says he’d like to buy Muppets company

Walt Disney Co. Chairman Michael Eisner has told a German weekly that he
is interested in buying The Jim Henson Co. but that the German
conglomerate that currently owns it has placed an “unrealistic” price on
the company.

Eisner told Focus magazine that he currently isn’t
in talks with the Muppet maker’s owner, EM.TV, “but you can tell them
they can give me a call.”
