The Disney statement that accompanied this picture said,
"Mickey was heartbroken when Walt passed away, he knows first hand about losing a loved one but back then he had no one to turn to... He didn't want Kermit to face it alone."
It Sucks we also just lost his son this month too. I loved and still love the muppets. They were a big part of my childhood , and Rowlf was a major factor in me taking piano lessons as a kid. To this day I still miss the classic muppets show and I still play piano.
You see, life is a valuable thing. I may be just a guest, and I know we have a bad reputation, but I honestly don't care. This picture symbolizes just how lucky we are to have our own lives and loved ones around. Thanks.

Party?
Madhouse?
Well, if you've been lurking the whole time, you know what you are getting into, so welcome.
But on a more epic note I believe the true 'first ever' cross over was Batman and Scoobydoo
