Jerry Nelson Recasts

[Fozzie Bear]

Someone from within the ranks of the puppeteers already hired. And, seriously, I don't know if it would be Henson or Disney conducting the auditions at this point since it's regarding Muppets.

Well what about the guy who took over for Mr. sunfupugyugus in SS befor Marty R. roberson.

 

[D'Snowth]

I haven't seen the Halloween DVD yet, but Danny Horn has and says that Jerry's credited for Mumford, but only did the voice.

I thought that's what Jerry's been doing these days, someone preforming the puppet, while he dubs the voices. I think sometimes Caroll Spinney does that, because sometimes I notice it's Matt Vogel's Big Bird you hear and see on screen, then suddenly, it's switched to Caroll's voice.

Do you mean guys like Dave Goelz, Steve Whitmire, and Bill Barretta? They can't be just auditioning them, they have to be also looking at other puppeteers. Also, it must be Henson doing the auditions because they would be the only ones who would know what to look for in a replacement.

Henson might be looking at some of the back up muppetterrs that do alot of the back muppets in scens they might have some reall talented people that just have not had the right opprutuity to show what kind of skills they really have. If Henson is in dire need of puppeters they would more then likey trun to Puppeters of America for Auditons.

Yeah, I agree that they must be looking at their backup puppeteers to replace the characters. I bet they are also looking at Sesame Street and Bear in the Big Blue House guys.

 

[Stryder Wolfe]

very interesting news. I'll be sad to see jerry retire fully, but it's nice that they are at least thinnking about continuing his characters now, instead of ten + years after the fact...

 

[Xerus]

It's kind of like how classic Disney characters like Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and Minnie, now have a new generation of voice actors doing them since all the original voice actors who did them have passed away. It makes us wonder who'll be performing these Muppets a thousands years in the future.

Wocka...whatever

I don't know if they would with Sesame Street characters or Bear in the Big Blue House puppeteers. That seems a little far out there for this movie.

Some Klingon or something...
