    To me, what makes Muppet Christmas Carol work is how it balanced out the tone of the original Dickens story with the Muppets' humor. It had a lot of funny scenes, but it also knew when to be serious, like when the Cratchits mourn Tiny Tim. Plus, there's Sir Michael Caine, who is already a fantastic actor, but really stood out in the movie. The way he took the role of Scrooge seriously and interacted with the Muppets as if they were fellow human actors on stage.

      This Robin is awful. The original Robin could talk very well, but he was just a little shy, like a preteen would be. Kermit would sometimes need to coax him to speak or sing due to his shyness. It's like the new actor misinterpreted his shyness for being a scared stuttering toddler. I don't know how. It makes me cringe.

      @@TimothySaxby ​ to which (funnily enough) most people would actually disagree with. Steve was never an exact duplicate voicewise of Jim Henson, but he was close enough and worked with Jim enough to the point that he really knew how to channel through his character and make it seem like…well, Jim's Kermit. And there were actually points where Steve did in actual fact sound exactly like Jim Henson’s Kermit, to the point where even I would have trouble differentiating the two voices (Steve and Jim). While this wasn’t consistently the case and I could mostly easily tell apart the two, Matt Vogel on the other hand I’ve NEVER not ONCE made that mistake with and to me, always just sounded like…well, Matt’s Kermit. Lol. He has long ways to go but we’re rooting for him, as much as we’d like Steve to return.

    Kermit and Robin really do sound off to my ears, though different actors and all that. But I'm just trying to think of how people can sound different the older they get. I know Muppets are timeless but even they would have ageing issues.
    That's just what I am telling myself to make it easier to watch this.

    The "Marley and Marley" sounds like he picked it up from their song. Looked like even Gonzo questioning that hearing on that pronunciation too. One of those Marley's sounded like "Morley".
    Statler and Waldorf played "Jacob and Robert Marley" to be technical.

      Ironic because I'm sure this was what audience's thought when the movie came out 30 years ago when Steve took over. The only performer in this panel that played their respective character in the movie was Dave Goelz. Kermit, Robin, and Piggy were all performed by different puppeteers. Matt is definitely improving in the roll, but it's still an adjustment to be sure.
