    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    I am sure Brian realizes now it would have been easier to recast Kermit 20 years ago. The internet already existed but no where near the level it is now. Where it is part of our every day lives. 15 to 20 years ago this would likely would have been reported in industry press. Debated in message...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    That story does not fit with Disney's approach to the voice of Mickey Mouse at all. Wayne Allwine voiced Mickey Mouse in everything from 1977 to his death in 2009. I have wanted to post earlier but had a hard time resetting my password.

    Jim Henson with Kermit and Rowlf on Arsenio Hall (1990)

    Its crazy but whenever I see footage of Jim in the frame performing one his characters, its like they are voicing him!!! Not the opposite which is the reality. Because I associate the voices with the actual characters and his performances are so great. Its real MAGIC!

    This might be our first chance to hear what he thought of new movie in its final form.

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    Its OK, Muppetlover123. Its my fault. I should have been clear it was a just a joke. I could have added a wink or something. I was just making fun of how many rumors about new movies are online that are not true. I did not even mean a script, I meant a finished movie! Either is impossible. Nick...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    Sorry, that was just a joke. Based on some people's concerns the movie might be rushed. If I can be serious, very serious - I been thinking about something a lot lately. As I mentioned on another thread here, I was in a very serious accident last year. While I am fully recovered now I could...

    Your Thoughts: Jim Henson's Musical World at Carnegie Hall

    While obviously they been planning a Fraggle Rock movie for years. It easy to imagine that the overall resurgence of the Muppets would benefit the Henson Company's own projects. Like "Stuffed and Unstrung" on Celebrity Apprentice. Or this tribute at Carnegie Hall. (I wish I could have been...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I am posting a lot today.... In terms of the pace and time needed to write and development of the script. That matters. But it's clear that with the Muppets a lot of that is fine tuned with the actual performers on set. The Muppeteers have a huge influence on what happens. I am guessing they...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I am curious too. I would not be checking here multiple times a day if I was not. I bet we will know more by summer or fall at the latest. It depends on when Stoller and Bobin have interviews for other projects. Thats when stuff comes out. Or Disney makes an official announcement of when...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I have a sarcastic sense of humor! Honestly think we all have to think back to the first few weeks the last movie was out. A lot of us were concerned about the box office numbers. Convinced that another movie would be many years away if it happened at all. Or we would just get more tv movies...

    I heard a rumor that its going to be uploaded for free online tomorrow. I am shocked and worried!

    Well maybe they are already here and you don't realize it.... Kermiggy will be said in the opening scene.

    But that assumes all fans want the same things. Its not true.

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    That is true and there is obviously a symbolic reason for that. Whether by design or not. In the real world the Muppets have had no central leader since Jim's passing. It was said at the time that Kermit would slowly reintroduced as played by Steve. Which seemed to affect the types of projects...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    Its made my day that so many of you have liked my ideas! Another idea, I am not sure if it would suit this one but maybe a later one - Time Travel. Mostly because I love time travel and I think the possibilities would be endless. Due to a mishap with a new invention by Dr Bunsen Honeydew the...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I would agree with no villain as well. The Muppets are not Superheroes... And before anyone suggests that idea... NO WAY! Not every story needs a "good guy" vs "bad guy". Conflict and challenges exist in other ways. Kermit and Piggy's relationship is probably the most famous aspect of the...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I am going to be a wise ***... It should start with Walter reading internet info about the new movie. He would worry about every little thing he sees. In fact maybe he should interrupt the plot and appear on screen anytime he does not like something to explain mistakes. ;) Serious...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I would not but too much thought or concern into a summer 2013 release. Film release dates are adjusted all the time. For stuff in production and completely finished films. In this case the script is still being written. This time frame is just wishful thinking on Disney part right now. That...

    The Kermit Collar Point Counting Club

    I have never seen the Crystal Gale episode, at least not that I remember I might of as a kid. Thanks for the info. Another reason the rest of the show needs to come to DVD! Yeah, wearing other outfits was also proof to me. Along with never seeing a collar on Muppet Babies.
