Wh wasn't Kevin in A Muppets Chirstmas Carol? Why doesn't he have a lot of charaters but new comer Bill does?

Kevin was in VMC Misan. (Oh and welcome to MC btw :big_grin: ) Kevin did Sam Eagle in this movie. But it is a mystery as to why his other characters such as Clifford didn't appear.

Um, Were talking about AMCC. Kevin Clash did the voice but not the puppet for Sam the Eagles Voice in AVMMCM. Frank Oz Preformed him on AMCC. Kevin had quite a few characters on The Jim Henson Hour. I can't say this for sure or this is the case, but Characters last and go based on how well they are known or accepted by the public, although sometimes there are other reasons, Strain on voice, don't provide enuff Ideas, underdeveloped, but who knows.

Kevin is also a producer inside Sesame Street and other Muppet concerns. I bet he is reeeaaaaaally busy.
