      Dave actually has a great little story about that. The first time he ever got fitted for a suit and tuxedo, the guy who made and fitted the suit was absolutely baffled by his build, and had to come in for extra fittings because he was quite literally, lopsided.
      His right arm (the one that holds up the puppet) is super powerful and over developed, and his right shoulder is actually like an inch or so taller than his left.

      Performers train their successors, and they're largely picked for how well they can retain the soul and mannerisms of the character. Of course the voices aren't going to be 100% identical to the original performers, but that comes second to overall skill at character acting and puppeteering; Frank Oz has mentioned this from time to time

    I'm looking forward to this, but I don't think it will be a big success sadly!
    Even watching this interview I found myself wanting to see the inclusion of Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie, etc...
    The band just isn't quite enough to pull the entire weight of the franchise to the average viewer unfortunately...

    • @fishdude2954
      @fishdude2954 Рік тому

      Disagreed. Kermit/Fozzie/Piggy/Gonzo get plenty of airtime and they're always the ones who are brought onboard whenever Muppet presence is needed somewhere (talk shows, interviews, surprise appearances, hosts, promotions, etc). They were at this same convention promoting the restored re-release of A Muppet Christmas Carol too.
      If the wider-but-still-well-known cast (like the band) is always left out/pushed into the background, then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy where they never get any recognition because they were never given any in the past. They have to start somewhere, and they're pretty popular already (especially Animal, who would be enough to get casual people interested). Not to mention that The Muppet Show always had sketches with random nameless monsters doing spontaneous stuff, so it's not even as though they're going for fully obscure characters like that.
      This could be a good step away from Disney forcing their Disney-fying on the Muppets brand where they just reduce a franchise to like 3-4 characters and one song - they seem to forget that this is a musical franchise and has more songs than Rainbow Connection for instance. I'm sure there will be cameos but the Mayhem are a motley crew, they should do fine as long as the performers aren't micromanaged to death.

      This franchise is called THE MUPPETS, not ELECTRIC MAYHEM BAND unfortunately.
      The band are a huge part of the past successes of The Muppets cuz they ARE Muppets themselves!
      Take them away from their counterparts and it just won't meld like it always has.
      The personas that each classic character exhudes works so well because they depend on working with each other to create a blend.
      I still don't know why Disney insists on doing new things for The Muppets...
      It has not spelled much success for them.
      Why can't they just do a new Muppet Show and copy the way the original show was in it's beginnings--
