    So now what?

    I do like the idea of a muppet horror movie if done right. It's one of the styles they haven't done yet. The only problem is can it been done properly.

    So now what?

    That is unknown. I sure hope not. We need original material!

    Why is Steve Whitmire the voice of Kermit?

    Well Kermit will probably never appear on the show again ever. He barely was on when Kermit was with JHC and Sesame Street was sold to Sesame Workshop. Now that Disney owns Kermit I doubt he will ever visit the street again. I do know that he was on a couple of times after Jim Henson died...

    Why is Steve Whitmire the voice of Kermit?

    I believe that is because the Kermit on Sesame Street is much more simplified than the Kermit on TMS.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    Because sometimes people tear into a film before they even have a chance to think about what they just watched. I also feel the need to save the muppets from people, fans no less, that falsly say the Muppet are only meant for children and should be sanatized for them. It's simply wrong. I'm...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    Oh that is a very fair comparison. Balancing negative comments about a Mupet TV special is exactly the same as communism.

    Relaunching The Muppets: A New Plan

    There actually was a good deal of promotion on ABC and Disney channel. Disney ran 2 or 3 music videos from the movie as well as trailers. The muppets did commercials for 3 of ABC's top shows. They also did talk show spots, tv appearances, and all kindso f stuff to push the movie. They really...

    Leave Disney alone

    There actually is a plan for a feature film according to a wall street journal article. It said it is planned for 2007. I am not sure if that is a 2007 release date or a 2007 production date. Either way it's pretty cool. I just hope it is a mopvie where they play themselves and a movie that...

    Why is Steve Whitmire the voice of Kermit?

    You are totally right. It's all about who the characters are as well as the audience. The pron line is still a bit out there. I think that is simply because of who Steve is and you can assume his personality based on who his original characters are and how they act.

    Why is Steve Whitmire the voice of Kermit?

    Also you have to consider Steve was in a spot there. He is whenever he is on a live show. Any performer is really. Even Jim found him self in a pickle now and then when he was doing Kermit live. I can't really take a live spot and judge the muppets on it. I think MFS had a good Kermit who...

    Jerry Nelson Recasts

    I too thought it was odd for Steve to get Foo Foo while Steve is clearly a main performer. Though I think his being a main performer is the reason Foo Foo was recast. Now we can have Foo Foo back with Piggy interacting with Kermit. We can relive that hilarious "oo-dee boo boo boo" moment from...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    First, I post mostly in this thread because the movie needs defending against wrong opinions. By that I mean opinions based on false facts such as the following... She is not a "rapper-wannaber". She is an R&B singer. Like her or not, she can actually sing. She can't always act, but she...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    While it may be true that they wanted it to look cheezy, that doesn't mean it was the right way to go. I think it works for the dragon and the fire and the head, but not the woman/chicken. That was just too cheezy. I still liked it though, but that part was too cheezy.

    Who thinks Frank Oz should come back?

    While it would be nice if Frank decided to come back full time, it just won't happen. Of course everyone would rather the original performer of a role do the role. I'd rather Mel Blanc were still alive. I'd rather Jim Henson were alive. I'd rather Jerry Nelson stay with the Muppets instead...

    It's just a chicken noise. How could it?

    Why is Steve Whitmire the voice of Kermit?

    Apprently Billy West did some voice work for some story boarded cartoons that got canned. So, I don't know if he will keep the job or what. Personally. this Jeff fellow is the best I've ever heard when it comes to the Looney Tune characters. His Bugs and Daffy are great. Now, something...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    Apprently the dirctor pushed for a theatrical release which actually makes much more sense than the special. Now if this had the budget of a full fledged movie I think a lot more people would be happy.

    Why is Steve Whitmire the voice of Kermit?

    This is very interesting. I never knew why he was let go. It seems, combining both stories, that the WB fired him for fear of him really becoming the next Mel Blanc and asking for more money. It's too bad they did that. I love the idea of one person doing all the voices. It's also too bad...

    Are these Muppets or puppets still around?

    Wayne and Wanda were actually cut from the show on purpose as were George and Mildred and Anne Sue. They were all pretty much cut out before the end of the Muppet Show because they didn't work for one reason or another. I do not think the puppets have turned to dust though. George made an...

    Why is Steve Whitmire the voice of Kermit?

    No, I'm talking about Bugs Bunny. Bugs made regular appearances on Tiny Tunes and was in like the last scene of the x-mas special.
