Next Muppet Movie

Well, it is important to remember that you also have to stay in character while your recording. But I could see that If your only singing, though.

Okay, I did not know that. But I can tell you with one hundred persent asurency the I did not here Matt's voice one single time, But I did miss one episode and I'm not sure if Big Bird is in that one or not.

I think Steve once said (and it could even be in his MC interview, come to think of it) that he was most nervous when he had to record the songs for MCC because he wasn't acting through the puppet, which is where he gets the character from. So I'm sure it's incredibly hard to have that kind of pressure on a performer. I'll reserve my full judgement until after I see a full performance.

Did Caroll Spinney really say that he didn't want anyone taking over his characters?

Yes, Caroll did say that he didn't want anybody else playing his Characters. But he did also mention that he wanted to do Sesame Street until at least seson forty. But if he feel he can still hold that head up, he may go as lond as he physcally can do it. I wish I could find the inteview as it was posted on this site.

I imagian that it must hvae been very hard for steve to fill Jim's shoe's of all things.

That is interesting sesma street is so great i love that show and i loved it as a child .
a true classic i hope that it goes for another 30 years .

as far as teaching children and quality enternament they do not get much better than that .
THE BEST

I was 20! I went to it by myself on opening day. I think I walked to the theater cuz it was a nice day. Back then the Muppets were a guilty pleasure of mine. I was in the "They're too kidish for me." stage! Now one of the first things people know about me is my love for the Muppets.
As for the movie. I didn't dig it at first. I liked it, but it was missing something. I missed the original songs. I missed Camilla. I had NO idea who Pepe was cuz I didn't remember much about Muppets Tonight. At the time I liked it better than Treasure Island and Christmas Carol just cuz they were playing themselves. I missed that. NOW-A-DAYS I love it! I appreciate it a lot more. I think they appeal to more the "college aged" kids instead of the littler ones just for nostalgia. I've gotten the majority of my friends into the Muppets.

How could you not be into the Muppets

hey telly yes that is true i agree with you about the fact that they where trying to appel to the college age kids for mfs.
i loved it the frist time that i saw and and more and more each time that do see it .
i am so glad that you love the muppets as much as me

Yes unclematt i really agree with that also , so true on that

THE MUPPETS ROCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Muppet Baby I have a feeling that we are made for each other

True, but that was before the character's voice had solidified; they were performing in different octaves. Jacobson's Piggy voice is much closer to Oz's.

I agree on that also uncematt We are for sure made for each other

Going back to who should direct the next Muppet movie... I would think Bill would be a good choice. I liked Kirk's work on VMC and MOZ but very much of it seemed scattershot and jumbled. I'd really like to see what Bill can do behind the camera.

Also, SarahOnBway, I totally agree with you about Eric. But concerning John and Bill... they haven't had nearly as much experience with other characters as Eric has had with Frank's. I think that after a while they'll be just as good as he is with other characters.

Well, John and bill might have been doing thoes characters for a long time now. Just not in the public or in on in specials.

But I agree that they should let bill step up and direct the nexy movie.

Yes Bill sould step up that would be great let's hope that he will step up

I do have gret confidence in Bill

I'm sooo lucky have NOT gone though that stage... EVER! with Disney & Muppets and im 21... i'll be 22 on Feb 24... so a few days

i really din't go through the muppet are to kidish i just was upset they kept doing the muppets when Jim had dide i was still young then but thought they should have let them be. Now im older and see that to let the muppets die when Jim did was wrong of me.

Even though I'm sixteen, I sometimes feel like I'm getting too old, and all I have to do is watch The Muppet Movie again, and... poof. I'm a kid again.

That is so true for me to speed tracer and i am 26 i feel that way about great muppet caper .
that was my faverite muppet movie when i was a little kid .

I have never looked donw at the Muppets as childish fare. And I have never stopped watching Sesame Street at any point in my life, either, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
