Jim Henson Idea Man
Remember the life. Honor the legacy. Inspire your soul. The new Jim Henson documentary "Idea Man" is now streaming exclusively on Disney+.
Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
Now, the only question left-- which puppeteers (and voice actors for the Muppet Babies) would we have for these characters? Though I can definitely assume who'd do most of them...
Here's my list:
Steve Whitmire:
Kermit the Frog
Statler
Beaker
Rizzo the Rat
Ernie
Bean Bunny
Lips
Link...
(NOTE: I don't know if this belongs in the "Fan Fiction and Fan Art" or the "Muppet Babies" thread category.)
We've all had discussions about who could do an adult Skeeter as a puppet, and many of us (like me) want to have Karen Prell do that (considering that her signature Muppet of Red...
(NOTE: I have no idea if this thread belongs under "Fan Fic and Fan Art" or "Muppet Appearances" or elsewhere.)
Lately, we've had Oscar the Grouch as a regular on 1 vs. 100, sitting through (I think) five shows this season. But imagine if the contestant had to face a mob of 100 of the greatest...
I could see Bill Faggerbakke (of "Coach" and "SpongeBob" fame) doing a few Muppet Baby versions of Jim Henson's really deep-voiced characters (like the Swedish Chef and Link Hogthrob) on TV, too. ;-)
Speaking of Rob as Boober...
You know I did mention that I would like to hear Rob as a baby version of the Fraggle, too. (I could even hear Rob using his Pinky voice for a baby Mopatop, too.)
You know, there's another voice actor I thought of who could easily imitate Jerry Nelson for his cartoon Muppets-- Tom Kenny. I could easily hear him doing baby versions of Gobo Fraggle, Crazy Harry, Snuffy [he was performed by Jerry Nelson in the '70s, before Marty Robinson came along], The...
Here's how I would do it (similar to the Mister Rogers parody):
(we see Stewie trying to kill Lois once again, and as usual, to no avail)
STEWIE: Oh, blast! This is even more difficult than when I tried to murder the Muppet Babies!
(cut to a shot of Baby Rowlf playing piano and singing...
They were two cats who tormented Oscar the Grouch. And no, I believe Kevin Clash performed the other cat.
Speaking of which, I'm surprised no one mentioned Kevin Clash and Fran Brill being paired up:
Elmo & Zoe
Elmo & Prairie Dawn
Eliot Shag & Colleen Barker/Terri Springer
I don't know if we've talked about this before, but imagine if there were Muppet Baby versions of international Muppets! The question I have is, who would voice them?
For example, I'd have thought Rob Paulsen might be a good choice to use his Pinky voice for a baby version of Mopatop. ;-)...
This time it features Baby Gonzo, Baby Animal, and Baby Piggy, and it's a 1980s-style KFC ad:
(cut to shot of Colonel Sanders' KFC logo, then we see Gonzo and Piggy playing in the nursery, "chasing" after Gonzo's stuffed chick, Camilla, in one of their imaginations)
GONZO: (laughs) That was...
Them, or June Foray in her Rocket J. Squirrel/Sherman voice would've been better. (Glad I own the comic books!)
Also, I just read that Melissa Duck actually appeared in two Looney Tunes shorts long before she was on Baby Looney Tunes:

Imagine if, after the Marvel Productions and Jim Henson Productions logos appeared on the cartoon Fraggle Rock, we're treated to this ending (with a surprise!):
(fade in to a shot of Gobo reading his postcards in front of the Doozer constructions)
CARTOON GOBO: Boy, these cards Uncle Matt...
A bit off-topic here, but I read somewhere that Greg Berg did the voice of Fungus in the video game version of the movie!
(I'll have to assume the Fungus in the video game had a voice like that of Fozzie's Muppet Babies counterpart.)
Oh, yeah! I could always see a "Veterenarian's Hospital" sketch done where Nurse Piggy is fired, and Nurse Skeeter takes her place... and she tells some REALLY odd jokes, maybe even odder than Dr. Bob's. Of course, Nurse Piggy tries to get her job back, but eventually, she gets it back, and she...
