Muppets Mini-Land / Muppets Courtyard Additions & Refurbishments

[FoozieBear]

Would be nice for a Muppet-Related M&G...I'm Sure they still have these versions somewhere from that odd Volunteer based parade that they could be used for...

Two problems with that: These puppets are built 3x larger than the chfaracters actually are so that they look normal size viewing them far away.

The second is that they would either need ti employ Matt Vogel and Eric Jacobson full time to do this (which we know is not possible) or record audio ahead of time. But I think those will be odd if its a meet and greet and their responses are just generic.

Really hope they do another show like 'Great Moments' in Grand Ave though.

I can't agree enough! Sadly I'm a geek and I've done extensive research on the many voice actors that have done the voices since the loss of Frank oz and of course henson himself. It would be far too time consuming to try.to find a second voice actor just for the parks and or employ the actual guy full time.

The rumor is that they would be new characters. This means finding the right voice is not an issue.

You might want to notify Frank Oz that he's no longer with us.

He came back as a force ghost..

Are they still planning their own streaming service since the Fox deal gives them the majority of Hulu?

According to the last earnings call, yes. Hulu and the new service will serve separate purposes.

Hopefully they'll do it right this time.

Theyre hardly reporting anything. The news originated from The Hollywood Reporter, far more reliable.

From what I've read from others here, that is pretty much their m.o. Thank you for pointing to a more reliable source.

As someone else said, hopefully they do it right this time. I'm disappointed the last ABC reboot failed. The audience was there (at least to sample it in the first episode, it dropped of course otherwise), so it shows there's still an interest.

A streaming series is a good move. If done right of course.

I'm currently side-eyeing that new thing they created for Muppet Babies that sticks out like a sore thumb and seems to be the heavy focus of the new show. But then again I'm hardly the demo Babies is going after ... lol

The Muppets are doing another full-length live show!

I'm sorry, but that still just doesn't sound like Kermit the Frog.

Was literally going to say the same thing.

With the exception of just a few words, I would have sworn that Jim Hanson was doing the talking. Much better then the last voices used.

 

[Kman101]

I'm mixed (go figure, lol) on the new voice. I agree with Goofy in what he said but it also sounds a little off at times.

For me it was not in the voice tone, that to me was right on. It was the occasional pronunciation of some of the words. Quite fixable I would think.

This. You said it better than I did. The tone was right on.
