The Muppets are up for sale again, just one year after German media group EM.TV snapped up Kermit and friends from creator Jim Henson‘s heirs, Variety reports. Walt Disney Co. is considered the leading candidate to buy the Los Angeles-based Henson Co. Cash-strapped EM.TV bought Henson for $680 million, but will likely have to settle for half that amount since it sold the rights to its Sesame Street-related Muppets to producer Sesame Street Workshop in December for $180 million.
