It is going to take me a while
prevnextI am really looking forward to the new Muppets stuff on Disney+. It is the reason I'm going to subscribe. That being said it is going to take me a while to get used to the new Kermit voice. The fact that I've been around for three Kermit voices makes me feel old.

Perspective
prevnextNothing will ever match Jim Henson’s portrayal of Kermit the Frog, but that’s because it was the original.
A character is not just a voice.
As long as the portrayal still feels like the Kermit the Frog we all love that’s what’s important.

An observation worth addressing
prevI'm only disappointed Kermit said "Hi everyone." I needed to hear "Kermit the Frog here."
