    Frank Welker as Kermit

    Speaking exclusively in modern terms, the three greatest male vocal artists of the day are Frank Welker (whose resume needs no mention in this forum), Jim Cummings (The Tazmanian Devil, Tigger, Bonkers D. Bobcat) and Maurice LeMarche (The Brain, Egon Spengler, Squit Pigeon). The three greatest...

    Frank Welker as Kermit

    All I can offer here is a semi-educated guess. Since Disney pretty much fired off its entire hand-drawn animation staff last year in order to shift the company towards total computer generated animation, it probably proved to be a serious setback for production of "The Search for Mickey Mouse."...

    Frank Welker as Kermit

    Disney's making an animated film (whether it's direct to video or theatrical I'm not sure) revolved around a plot to kidnap Mickey Mouse, and Basil of Baker Street (from The Great Mouse Detective) is put on the case to find him. Almost every conceivable Disney character, from Donald Duck to...

    Frank Welker as Kermit

    Frank doesn't do too many commercials these days (he used to be the voice of Grimace from McDonalds and one of the Snap, Crackle & Pop elves), but it's certainly a possibility that he's the new voice of The Pillsbury Dough Boy. I checked out a couple websites and couldn't find any listing for...

    Frank Welker as Kermit

    The animated segments of Little Muppet Monsters were basically cartoon re-creations of old Muppet Show sketches, in theme, at least, if not directly borrowing plots and scripts. Pigs in Space, Muppets Labs and so on were seen in cartoon form, which was a novelty, but hardly original, and, as...

    Frank Welker as Kermit

    Jim didn't really have that active a role in the development of either show, other than his company having official producing credits, which doesn't necessarily require their active involvement in production of the show. It's more often than not essentially an honorary title, just to show...
