Walt Disney Company - Classic Muppets???

The closest in a long time that they've been to being the Classic Muppets was in the VMX movie, in my opinion. I guess because none of the characters were performing as voice-dubbings.

Well, to be fair, a lot of that would have to do with what the script and storyline give a character, wouldn't it? Not to mention the director. I wouldn't put that 100% on the performer. Just my opinion.

I agree with you about that. It's also in the writing and direction. I think that A Muppet Christmas Carol might have been the last we saw of the sympathetic/vulnerable Miss Piggy that I mentioned.

Are you kidding? Ten years later we see Piggy at her MOST vulnerable in the alternate reality sequence in IAVMMCM!

(actually, her child - Tiny Tim - dying was more vulnerable. I need more coffee)

Piggy and a box of chocolates is pure vulnerability--wait, ANYBODY with a box of chocolates is pure vulnerability!!

Personally, I think that it'll only work if you kinda balance the 2 out. Not have Piggy too tough because you lose the "believeability" of the character(even though she's a pig, you still kinda think that she's a villan instead of a good guy) and if you have her too vulnerable, then you lose what made her so great, so a balance like what some of the old school muppets had. Kind of a sweet spot for Kermit, and everybody else she spits on. But that's just me.

TMS Seasons 3 - 5 and TMM Piggy personality...that's who she is.

Agreed, pluse her role in MCC (even though she was "acting")

Well, Jerry Nelson dubbed the voices for his characters, and Kevin Clash dubbed Sam the Eagles voice.
