Will Walter ever appear with the Muppets again?

[Pig'sSaysAdios]

I read in an interview that Camila, Bean Bunny & Robin will be on there (plus a few others;I forgot who though.)

Ooh,Bean Bunny???!! Could you post the link to the interview pretty please.

That would awesome if it's true about Bean Bunny!! I don't think I've seen him since VMX in 2002. Or he may have also made a brief or background appearance in MWoZ? I can't remember, I haven't seen that film in years.

I think Bean showed up as a silent extra in MWoZ . . . which is pretty much what he was relegated to since MCC or so: as Steve put it, "always the victim."

 

[FletchySRF3088]

That's kind of surprising to me that they did that to Bean Bunny so soon after MCC, since according to Brian Henson on the MCC commentary a lot of people said Bean was their favourite character after seeing the film.

 

[D'Snowth]

I thought them turning Bean into the victim was something of a jab at saccharine, cutesy characters.

 

[FletchySRF3088]

Oh, I didn't mean the victim part. I meant I was surprised they relegated him to silent extra soon after MCC.

 

[Pig'sSaysAdios]

They say they started using Bean less because Steve Whitmire started developing other characters,taking over Kermit and expanding Rizzo. But to me this explaination seems a bit odd because now Steve plays even more characters then he did in the 90s. He's taken over the Newsman,Link Hogthrob and Statler.

Funnily enough, Bean still shows up in merchandise every now and then. Guess they just struggled finding a place for him other than as the 'victim.'

I think they can find a nice balance between the cute innocent one and the victim,kind of like his role on MCC.

Well I think the Bean puppet is in Center of Puppetry Arts.
