Hoots in FTB

[BEAR]

Found this interesting info at the Wiki website. Thought it was interesting:

"The puppet used for Hoots made an appearance, with a different performer (voiced by Kermit Love), as the owl member of the Feathered Friends in Follow That Bird, the only member skeptical of Big Bird's sadness."

I'll have to look for that when I rent it again.

All I know is, they've just brought Hoots back from oblivion recently, in the song "A Cookie Is A Sometime Food". I do NOT like his new eyes. They have a wild look that doesn't seem to fit with his character. But it still looked like the old puppet, just with the eyes replaced. But on one episode I saw a few days ago, he was in a another musical number. It was great to see him, but he has a new "body" now---complete with not only the new wild eyes but much straighter whisker-feathers. It doesn't look right---he's not the scruffy, wise-old-owl type anymore. I don't know why they'd change him in that way.

You're probably referring to his most recent appearance in this seasons premiere episode where Hoots sings a new version on "Sing a Song". Yeah, he was completely re-done. He looks younger and not so scruffy. He looks to clean, but he seems bigger to me too. Either way, I will always love Hoots.

It's kind of like when they changed Grover's a few years ago, but all Muppets go through things like this, like Zoe recently.

I doubt that Kermit Love performed him in Follow That Bird. Kermit Love wasn't credited as a performer of the "Board of Birds".

I always assumed it was Hoots's brother that was with the Feathered Friends, thus his skepticism coming from whatever Hoots had told him outright about life on the Street.

When I first saw this movie a couple years back, his voice caught me off guard. He's a great character in any form.
