I was handwaving a lot of the similarities as coincidences deriving from a similar concept. But the space toy thinking they're the real thing... yeah there was definitely some inspiration being taken there, haha. Interesting video, and a nice spotlight on one of Henson's more obscure works!
This was later made into a television series, which would basically be its own thing. Some characters were removed, some characters were replaced, some characters were redesigned, events from the special were ignored, and only Dave Golez and Jerry Nelson got to reprise their roles.
You have a lot of knowledge about this. I think a lot of movies are inspired by other shows. Or sometimes you come up with an idea and some body had the same one before you.
It's so weird how people like you equate pointing out similarities with previous media or believing one to be derivative of another with complaining about it or asserting that it's a lesser version of same. No, I didn't think you hated Toy Story. Why would I think that? You had nothing negative to say about it. How were you complaining about it? You laid out some reasons why people think it was ripped off from something else. That has nothing to do with the quality of either piece nor your opinion on same. Why do people hear "thing X sucks" when you really said "thing X is not an original idea?" That's not the same thing and not what the speaker means. Let's try to take people's words at face value in cases like this. Ascribing extra secret meanings is very fraught. You're most likely assuming things that aren't really there and people don't usually react well to that so it's just best not to do it without a good reason

Steve Whitmire later Did Kermit in Muppets Now which is on Disney+
The fact that people keep saying that toy story ripped off the brave little toaster But he does way more similarities with the Christmas toy

Family guy ripped off Simpsons
Simpsons ripped off Flintstones
Flintstones ripped off Honeymooners...
It's all a repeating process
The answer is yes
