    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Yeah, because performing a Muppet is more than just doing a voice, you have to act through your arm and your hand and transfer your feelings and emotions into the puppet, and then the voices comes from that.

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Yeah, Disney is launching its own brand of streaming services. Which, I mean, just because Disney has its own brand of everything (even DVDs), doesn't mean it has to have its own brand of everything.

    R.I.P. Glen Campbell

    Once again, this is someone whom I thought was already dead. Not being a fan of country music, I'm not too familiar with his repetoire, and in fact, I really only know him for voicing Chanticleer in ROCK-A-DOODLE, where although his Elvis-impersonating singing voice was actually pretty...

    I usually keep Steve in his own traveling case for whenever I need to take him somewhere, so he's okay for the most part.

    The New What Made You Frown Today Thread

    While at storage today, I discovered that my puppets are . . . not in very good condition at all. I think a combination of the extreme temperatures, and them being crammed into tubs and bins has taken a toll on them. :(
