I thought Steve Whitmire did a great job as Kermit (both speaking and singing) - sometimes these types of complaints are so far out of left field I don't know what to think..."doing a disservice to Jim Henson"? SERIOUSLY???

At about 11:15 p.m. Atlantic time, my wife (also a Muppet fan) reminded me that we have "quiet hours" at our apartment and that we should hold my enthusiasm if "Man or Muppet" won...and that still didn't keep me from letting out a big "YES!!!" when Will Ferrell read Bret McKenzie's name!!! I'm...

I haven't seen the Kermit-and-Piggy red carpet bits but I really enjoyed Kermit and Darren Criss doing "Rainbow Connection" together (very cool that they kept it simple and just used one guitar). They played off each other really well before and after the song, too. By the way...Seriously...Did...

I like all of those, and several others (and the fact that even people who barely know the Muppets or The Muppet Show still recognize "those two old guys in the box"), but I think these are my two favourites: From midway through The Muppet Movie: :boo: Well, what do you think? :sleep: I've seen...

Lew also has two of my favourite Muppet movie lines: (1) In the climax of GMC, when the gang is atop the Mallory Gallery and Kermit says "We've got to find a way to lower ourselves down" (or some such thing), Lew whispers, "Right! Here's the paper towels!" (2) In The Muppets, responding to...

Great examples. I'll add that I still remember my heart racing with Scooter's line in The Muppets: "Jack Black, Jack Black, fifteen seconds to curtain, Mr. Black..." I don't think I have to explain why this made me (and still makes me) so happy.

The various numbers being flung around are confusing me a little bit, but even if The Muppets comes close to GMC domestically, that's great news, especially with the encouraging numbers from overseas and the great start in the UK (thanks to all of you who have been updating us in this regard)...

I'm ABSOLUTELY THRILLED that Kermit and Piggy will be presenting!!! Despite the ridiculous decision to drop the Best Song performances, there's no way a broadcast honouring the past year in film could not have included the Muppets in some fashion, after the world (and the entertainment industry...

One of the reasons I joined this forum was because I finally have my own copy of The Green Album and I wanted to share how much I loved this collection of Muppet covers. A few tracks took a couple of listens to grow on me, and some may never grow on me (I’m looking at you, Amy Lee - “Halfway...

Okay, friends, try this one on for size. It's one thing to say that a character like any of the Muppets has a classic catch-phrase, and it's quite another to say that some things that come out of their mouths just make you feel good all over for no particular reason other than "it just does."...

I must be the only person alive who preferred Shrek 3 & 4 to Shrek 2. I still maintain that none of them should have been made, but at least Shrek The Third mined a lot of LOL-bits out of the entire cast and Shrek Forever After was a decent conclusion to the series (with a surprisingly funny...

I was disappointed at the second-week drop-off but a part of me is thrilled that The Muppets did so well at a point where it seemed like NOBODY was going to the movies. I think Disney did the right thing in debuting it on American Thanksgiving and then toughing it out during the pre-Christmas...

That's funny...I was thinking about "Blame Canada" too. I didn't even like the South Park movie but I thought that Oscar performance was a piece of genius. That's an excellent example for our current discussion. I don't think the academy realizes that it's blowing a glorious chance to create...

Even though Season 4 contains many of my favourite Muppet Show episodes and moments (Muppet Awards with Phyllis George; murder mystery with Liza Minelli; Gonzo's departure-and-return with Lola Folana; Dudley Moore's music machine; and great guest-star turns from John Denver, Kenny Rogers, Anne...

If there's any hope, it comes from this portion of the original article on the Deadline Web site (the source for the Billboard.com story): Though this decision sounds firm because of the telecast’s pressure-cooker time constraints, some of those affected hope all-powerful Academy Awards...

I apologize for an exaggeration on my original post - Dr. D Studios, which produced Happy Feet Two for Warner Brothers, appears to be in business but two different sources (Reuters and The Vancouver Sun) are reporting that 600 of the studio's 700 employees got pink slips in November, before...

AC/DC's "Back In Black," believe it or not. (Mercifully, they left out the vocals.)

The Muppets held on pretty well in my part of Canada - it was still playing urban centres in the Atlantic Provinces by the third week of January before disappearing completely. By then it had been in theatres for two months, which is a pretty good run for any movies these days. (I remember being...

I think I could live with this logo, especially if it's just to promote the movie. That being said, I was absolutely delighted when the movie began and we saw the title done in the classic Muppet Show logo style. But that makes me wonder: If Disney was happy to go old-school with the actual...

Going on the premise that everyone's entitled to their opinion, I don't think they were approaching the movie the right way. First of all, it's not specifically designed for pre-schoolers (although they can find a lot in it to enjoy), and secondly, the underlying premise of the film is the...
