I have a question to pose - How would fans feel about live Muppet performances at the Disney parks (only) with different performers? For some reason, that's where I think things might be headed.

Artie's a good guy and likely a good puppeteer too, but fans here don't owe him an apology for being fans -especially since nobody knew it was him. We still haven't received confirmation, but if it's true I'm happy he got to live his dream. No amount of criticism can take that achievement from...

I agree with a lot of what MWoO just said. I don't think Kermit's stand-in wrangler has been vilified, but the performance has been critiqued. That's what fan forums are for. The performance was stiff and Kermit's expressions and head-shape didn't suit the character. Maybe it was nerves...

The Kermit was definitely a substitute. We don't know why, but the "sessions" that are being discussed here are from several years ago when Disney was thinking about using performers for appearances like cruises and other such fill-in duties. They did this, of course, and fan reaction wasn't...

All the Muppet performers have always been freelancers and that has never changed. The Muppets are Steve's "line of work" as much as they were for Jerry Nelson and as much as they still are for Dave Goelz. He's been around since the first Muppet film and since the Muppet Show. He isn't only...

I don't see how Disney would treat the Muppets any differently than their other stock characters. They go to great lengths to secure their voice artists and iconic live action characters. Their work is only replaced as a last resort, but they do have the insurance of possible replacements...

Frogster's posts are the kind of counter-productive ones that need moderation - not the rest of them that were shut down yesterday. The personal attacks and repetition of the same information he has said here countless times don't bring anything to the discussion. He's had this same rant (not...

Thanks for bringing back the thread. Thread closures used to be a final option. It's just happening too frequently these days for what appear to be ambiguous reasons.

Now that (Frogster's post) was the sort of harsh comment that hurls accusations rather than commentary. I'm 35 years old and have enjoyed the Muppet Show characters all my life. I consider myself an old school fan of the Muppets (even though the "old school" term refers to Sesame more than the...

...and the post disappears due to the disparaging comment pertaining to soap boxes because a member from 6 years ago now manages the national soap box manufacturing corporation. ;)

From 8 am on I saw nothing that violated policy yet, but maybe that was edited out before I read it. I usually support the reasons, but it has become excessive. Was Kermit's sub ever confirmed as a forum member? If so, did those writing lack-luster reviews know? When a member...

Maybe that was one of the many edits done this morning? Still, I keep finding locked and deleted threads. It's getting strange. For the record, I supported the Kermit performer's attempt. I think everyone is just shocked that the frog has an understudy.

Really? Maybe I missed something but this seems to be an overreaction. What's next? Is the burn the wig thread going to vanish due to attacking the Pig's stylist? The locked portions of this site have become increasingly excessive. :batty:

Wow, now I'm kind of upset. What was with the knee-jerk overreaction thread closure about last night's Muppet appearance? I didn't think the posts were all that heated, just honest. Must every thread get locked when the discussion becomes interesting? :batty: The main page and cards sections...

It was a noble effort. That couldn't have been Steve. The voice and the head-shape greatly differ from his Kermit. The Frog was okay, but not in the top form we're used to. The Pig was good too. Her singing has improved some here. I also think there must have been some stage constraints that...

Nice blurb in the new latest Muppet comic. Pan can't come soon enough. So, are you guys at Boom going to absorb into Marvel? What's going on? Guess we'll know more after D23. :)

Hmm. I get that sometimes too. It doesn't have to do with the Flash element. Either MC is going through some updates or something's overloading the server. (I'm still convinced a server monster came and ate all of MC's ecards) :insatiable:

This is always Piggy to me. And here's a little too much old glamor, but I like the sequins. This MC page has some ideas. But we keep coming back to a more purply variation of this.

Disney is looking to snag some evergreen properties worthy of the iconic stature of Mickey Mouse, Kermit the Frog and the Lion King. They have been focused far too long on creating compartmentalized tween properties with popular but limited shelf life. There's been little balance. I don't think...

Strange This is a long time coming. Disney signed Stan Lee to an exclusive deal to create new super hero projects under the Disney brand, but it appears the motive was to orchestrate bringing the Marvel catalog into the fold. What this means? Well, I have to be honest here. Sony is...
