I thought Brian Henson was now the performer of Janice like he was back in the christmas movie. I hate it when performers don't stick with a character and let it pass around to other performers. (That kind of sounded dirty!)
Yeah, I thought it was weird that brian henson only had one character, Sal, in the movie. I think he might have originally planned on dubbing Scooter and janices lines, but probably thought it wasn't neccessary after hearing that Rickey Boyd could do a better scooter, and with janices lines being cut, he probably didn't bother to record lines.
i wonder how active Brian Henson will be in future Muppet productions now that the muppets are owned by Disney? I guess he will probably work on some productions for at least as long as the current deal with The Jim Henson Company lasts, but after the contract expire and Disney decides to start having other companies make the Muppets, i wonder if brian henson will still be involved as a performer?
After all, it seems like Brian Henson didn't really perform that much before the Disney deal. He had many characters on Muppets Tonight, but Sal is the only one who is constantly used. I don't think Nigel The Director or Seymour The Elephant have been used at all since Muppets Tonight ended (which is a shame, since I like them better than sal), and Dr. Phil Van Neuter has hardly been in any new productions since Muppets From Space. It seems like brian henson currently only performs in big productions and not small productions like the pizza hut commercials. I wonder if he will continue to perform The newsman if The newsman gets used again.
I hope that more of brian hensons characters get used again soon. I am sure that sal will appear in the upcoming christmas special and maybe the 50th anniversary roast, and i am unsure of the reality series, but I hope that Seymour, Nigel, Dr. Phil Van Neuter and The Newsman get used more.
