Loved Animal's origin story near the end.

They do a very good job. I am grateful for them. That being said, some of the puppets look quite odd and I'm not sure why the Jim Henson Company doesn't just make them. If anyone knows why I'd greatly appreciate learning. But it's clear Puppet Heap has its own distinct style that slighty...

Nice!

Rowlf, Kermit, Gonzo, Fozzie, Floyd, and Uncle Deadly are my favorites.

I'm happy to say, I'm starting to warm up to Matt's Kermit. I wonder, is that a new Kermit puppet, or is Matt's hand shape just different? The head looks larger. Also, I've noticed something about Matt's portrayal of Kermit. He seems a bit more... sarcastic? Do you know what I mean? And his...

Good. I'm glad so many news outlets are saying this. While I disagree, I'd prefer it over a huge backlash.

Thanks!

Yeah, Matt's Kermit is more nasal than Jim. I thought it sounded a bit like a deeper Artie Esposito.

I'm sorry, but this is going to take a while to get used to...

Steve released a new blog post https://stevewhitmire-muppetpundit.com/2017/07/22/the-last-few-days-part-1/ “It’s really difficult to be blamed for the degradation of the Muppets lead character on the one hand, while having been terminated for how I was outspoken against poor creative...

You definitely should, it's fantastic and gives a great insight on Henson's life and what went on behind the scenes.

I don't think he's a jerk. I think he's well-intentioned, but he comes off as disrespectful when trying to get his point across.

New interview with Brian http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/amp/news/jim-hensons-son-explains-why-kermit-actor-was-replaced-character-could-use-change-1022041 I have to say, I'm starting to side with Brian. While I can see what Steve's intentions were, it seems he was holding The Muppets back...

I think Steve meant well, but he came off as disrespectful and unprofessional in voicing his opinions. His bosses probably expected him to do as they say (as TheOrangeBird said) but the interview gives me the impression that Steve wasn't used to a different business environment and he was doing...

Steve didn't leave because he thought it was his duty to make sure The Muppets are going in the right direction, as he stated in his blog post. "For me the Muppets are not just a job, or a career, or even a passion. They are a calling, an urgent, undeniable, impossible to resist way of life...

I'm not sure if the Hollywood Reporter article (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/disney-says-fired-kermit-frog-actor-unacceptable-business-conduct-1021701) was linked yet, but this excerpt stood out to me; "Whitmire, who was asked to take over Kermit by Henson's family after the creator's...

Exactly. While I understand that she was posting it privately on Facebook, I don't see why her comments had to be so mean-spirited. And Steve doesn't write the scripts. Why is Cheryl blaming him?
