Disney launches new Muppets Web site

LOS ANGELES - The frog is back.

Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo and their pals are starring in their own Web site - the first in a series of new creative efforts launched by the Walt Disney Co. since buying the Muppets in April.

The site, which debuted Wednesday, features games, biographies of the Muppet characters, screensavers and news about current projects, including the new film "The Muppets Wonderful Wizard of Oz," slated to air on ABC in May.

The sale to Disney, announced last February, also includes a four-year consulting arrangement with the Jim Henson Co. to provide strategic advice on the use of the characters and a three-year production deal to develop movies, television shows and other projects using the characters.
