I have mixed feelings. I saw Steve Whitmire at his first convention after he got fired. I could see the life go back into his eyes when he saw my Sprocket puppet and when he talked about Jim. But otherwise he looked like his soul had left his body. I let him put on my Sprocket puppet and I...

That's awesome!!!!

Over 3 million on something that was already on streaming and was under advertised is very good.

YAY!!!!!!!

I think we all would have preferred that to what happened. Frankly, he was overworked and some restrictions wouldn't have been a terrible idea, although I think he would have probably negotiated something better in the end. Disney was the one who wanted to hire him so badly. Few could...

It took me YEARS to get used to Steve Whitmire, mostly because the writing was sometimes a little off. Eventually I got used to him, probably around the Muppet Tonight era. I couldn’t even watch the newer movies until then without feeling heartbroken. I came to appreciate the movies, even if...

Matt Vogel really improved his Kermit performance. He nailed it! I even went straight to watching Jim Henson afterwards without issue. I think it helped that the writing was better so he sounded less awkward. I liked that the song choices made sense for the characters. Rizzo's song was very...

Dave Goelz, Karen Prell, Frank Oz, well, any of the muppeteers, lol Thankfully I hugged Caroll Spinney before he passed away. I've also hugged Steve Whitmire.

He's secretly a Cigar Box Frackle... Or a whatever... Or a weirdo... Or an alien. I'm not entirely sure he can be put neatly in a box. I personally just call him a weirdo, because I am a weirdo. This is why I post replies on threads that died two and a half years ago.

I think it's always tough getting used to a new puppeteer. When Jim Henson died it took me ages to get used to Steve Whitmire playing Kermit. It was jarring at first. The issue is that we've spent decades with Jim Henson and Steve Whitmire voicing Kermit. Steve Whitmire also had been...

Hello everyone! I'm a lifelong muppet fan. My favorite teether was Big Bird. I cried the day after my first birthday because my dad turned off Gonzo so he could record me. I love puppets and have made a full sized Sprocket puppet which was signed by Steve Whitmire because it wasn't a bootleg...
