Glad it's not my computer. So wonder who did his voice.....Oh I don't care as long as it's working.

Animal, Piggy, and Fozzie are performed by Eric Jacobson on the site and from now on. Animal isn't going to sound exactly the same just as Piggy and Fozzie aren't (though the Fozzie on the site sounds exactly like Frank Oz's Fozzie).

Hmm...Kinda disappointing :cry: . But hey change is good right?? I'll get used to it. The only ones that I thought sounded funny were Gonzo and Animal. Piggy and Fozzie I thought were pretty close to the orginal.

Not sure. I just thought he sounded a little different. Then again Gonzo's voice has developed over the years. (i.e. he doesn't sound the same in TMM as he does today, etc. )

This change has been in place for some time now. Frank OZ wasn't a part of AVMMC.

Yes, Dave still does Gonzo. He's very active with the muppets. The Gonzo voice has changed a lot over time though. If you listen to any character's voice it changes over time when done by the same performer. Even Kermit changed when Jim Henson was alive and performing him.
