I don't remeber much of MFS as I saw it once on HBO when I was sick, but I've heard that Adam Hunt performed Scooter in the movie. I was wondering which Scooter do you think was better, Adam's or Brian's. I've only heard Brian's and I think it's pretty good, but Adam may have that voice quality. What do you think?

Hmmm. I'd say they're about the same. Of course Brian's Scooter had a bigger part in the Christmas Movie. However, since Adam is Richard's brother his Scooter worked out. I like them both.

It's a tough call for me, too. On the one hand, Adam sounds a lot like Richard (and I mean a lot; the only noticeable difference between them was that Adam pitched Scooter's voice a little higher). On the other hand, Brian's Scooter also sounded pretty close to Richard's, plus it was good to know someone in the company was bringing him to life again.

I Thought Brian's Scooter sounded better, but we didn't really hear much of Adam's, so It is kinda hard to tell.

I think Brian's Scooter was by far the best. I enjoyed the fact that Adam Hunt provided the voice in MFS, but it really didn't sound much at all like Scooter to me. Brian's is as close as they're going to get. Had the right spirit and pitch.

Hiya!

I think it's cooooool as heck that Scooter is coming back (heck, there's one scene with Scooter, Rowlf, and Janice in the same picture..definitely a shot for the fans).

I think Scooter's voice has been higher pitched since Richard's gone. I notice when Brian does voices of prior-performed characters (ie, Muppet Newsman at MFest TMS,LIVE!) they are dead on in personality and behavior, the puppeteering is great, but the voices are just slightly higher pitched than originally.

They're great, tho.

I think it's a nice idea to keep it in the family and have Adam Hunt do Scooter. After all, if there's not much difference between Adam and Brian's perfomances of Scooter then it doesn't really matter if Adam Performs him.
