The Muppets - Blog Posts

1 year ago

this is really hard to read, but it's true. Disney has sucked the soul out of the muppets. the performers have been trying to put it back, but every time they do they are thwarted by this stupid fucking corporation. fuck you disney

Screenshot of selected excerpts from an Interview between Frank Oz and The Guardian that reads :

Frank Oz, the legendary co-creator of the Muppet Show and Sesame Street characters, has not worked on either show since 2007, nearly 14 years ago. “I’d love to do the Muppets again but Disney doesn’t want me, and Sesame Street hasn’t asked me” The 77 year old told the Guardian. “They don’t want me because I won’t follow orders and I won’t do the kind of Muppets they believe in”.

“The soul’d not there” anymore, he admitted. “The soul is what makes things grow and be funny. But I miss them and love them.”

“There’s an inability for corporate America to understand the value of something they bought.” He explained. “They never understood, with us, it’s not just about the puppets, it’s about the performers who love each other and have worked together for many years.”

“Eisner was trying to get Sesame Street, too, which Jim wouldn’t allow,” he recalled, “but Jim was not a dealer, he was an artist, and it was destroying him, it really was. The Disney deal is probably what killed Jim. It made him sick.”

When Frank Oz spoke of Jim Henson, it was like they had convinced themselves that they were actually brothers. In The Guardian feature, he said that he has lived in New York since he was 19. “Ever since Jim asked me to come here to work with him on The Muppets.” He has often described himself as the real Fozzie Bear to Jim Henson’s Kermit the Frog. 

“People don’t understand, anyone can do a voice”, he said. “It’s not the voice — it’s the soul”

this makes me want to throw up and cry and scream and punch a wall

My wife has been showing me the older Muppet movies on Disney+ because I had never seen them before, aside from Christmas Carol and Treasure Island. Definitely seen those. Now, after having seen both The Muppet Movie (1979) and The Great Muppet Caper, I am convinced the main reason these were made was so Jim Henson could flex his practical effect skills. Like, in both movies, there are scenes with Muppets riding bicycles. Like, HOW?! In the first movie it’s just Kermit riding a bike, but in The Great Muppet Caper they have the whole cast riding bikes! How are they doing this?!? I assume with strings or something but it looks so seemless!! These movies were made in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s! IS IT MAGIC? WAS JIM HENSON A WIZARD!?! (The answer is yes, Jim Henson was absolutely a wizard.) Anyway, these movies were both very delightful. The jokes were funny and I can’t stress enough how insane the practical effects were.

Random question but Dead Boy Detectives and Muppets. Who would be the only human? Jenny or the night nurse would be funny but I also made myself laugh thinking the cat king trying to seduce Kermit the frog. Who would play who? I feel like Gonzo or Kermit fit Charles. No idea why just do. I also think Miss Piggy would be amazing as Ester.

Shout out to the discord server for having this conversation before this posted. We have Monty-Rizzo, Charles-Gonzo, Kashi-Fozzi, Edwin-Kermit, Ester-Miss Piggy, Tragic Mick-Sam the Eagle, The Cat King-Pepe the prawn, Niko-Walter or Bean Bunny, Maxine-Crazy Horse or The swedish chef, Spider Demon-Animal, Crystal-Camilla, Dandelion spirts-Statler and Walford, Postman-the news man, The night nurse-Human, Jenny-Human or the swedish chef, the dragon mascot-Rowlf, twitchy Richie-beaker.

the world needs more Muppets

Random thought but I was reading some fan fiction, as one does and there was the word Muppet in it. So know I am thinking out of all the shadow and bone characters who would be the one human. Nikolai would be a solid vibe, but Zoya, the Darkling or Mal would be way too funny.

With six of crows Kaz has to be the one human there is no other option. The only one you can argue for is Matthias but what Muppet could play Kaz. You know what I mean.

But also after you decide the only human who would be played by what Muppet? I should definitely watch more Muppets content
