Funny thing is every time I post this Figment Screen test footage..IMO the voice of him here is Late Muppeteer Jerry Nelson as I hear Fozzie's Mom, Robin and Fraggle Rock's Gobo when he's doing this..It's Not Billy Barty, Corey Burton or Dave Goelz....

Sounds closer to Kevin Clash to me. Like a cheerier version of Polly Lobster

Hopefully they take that into consideration...like it was done for Carol Spinney and Jerry Nelson towards the end of their lives (again, I pray for many more years for Dave Golez...and that he's getting to properly train his inevitable successor)
I've said it before and I'll say it again, when Goelz eventually does leave, I just hope Bill Barretta gets Waldorf. He's already doing most of Jim's other gravelly voices, such as Dr. Teeth and Rowlf, and having him and Linz would really get Statler and Waldorf sounding closer to Jim and Richard than ever.

So, is this movie gonna have the Muppets in it themselves? Because I have this mental image of either Emma Stone in a Miss Piggy costume or a hyper-realistic CGI pig in a dress a la the live action remakes, with Emma Stone's voice.

Might be going to Florida to visit my sister after the holidays and am thinking about working in a day at DHS in to do Rock N before it closes (Never got to ride it last trip) . Right now the plan is around Jan 15th for her birthday, what're the odds Rnrc is still open then? If it's down for the overhaul I may do an AK day for Dinosaur

My working theory seems to be after Marathon Weekend (Jan 7-11) I think based on this year where Marathon Weekend was Jan 8-12 and TriceraTop Spin closed on Jan 13

It’s anyone’s guess right now but I feel like it’s getting pretty late in 2025 for a January closure. Of course they can close it tomorrow if they want with no notice, but the recent “norm” has been at least 2-3 months out.

Bit unrelated but felt it was at least worth bringing up. Something about a second muppets attraction unlrelated to rnrc was posted on the boardwalk times quarterly thing. How true or false it is I dunno, but here you go I guess https://boardwalktimes.net/before-d...s-lilo-stitch-2-the-hunt-for-ben-5bc0fb46b4b1

It's gonna reflect on the Humans rather than The Muppets like they seem to be doing lately..
