why Carroll Spinney no longer performs the Big Bird muppets

[yakkofan725]

Is that an instrumental "Once Upon A Dream" as BG music at the beginning?

[Dekobee]

Mr. Johnson and Grover in tutus :)

[athull08]

Is it true that Carroll Spinney no longer performs the Big Bird puppet, but dubs the voice on afterwards?

[MarshalGrover]

No, that only happens in times when Big Bird is in front of a green screen or with Oscar. Carroll still does him most of the time (but, there are times when Matt Vogel does him)

[athull08]

Right, I just read somewhere that he was reducing how often he performs big bird as he gets older, because playing full body characters is physically demanding.

Little busted when the Dinger walks away. You can see the end of the Dinger pupper, where the dent is. & didn't the pig's puppeteer from Blue's Room? I think Polka Dots, Blue's toy puppy.

[DanaAbel30]

I've always had a thing for Tchaikovsky.

[schemer1991]

that song is once apon a dream ballet song from sesame street

[kungfujiapple]

From 2007.

[Garrettk41]

I'm not certain, but it sounds to me like Mr. Johnosn is performed here by Martin P. Robinson rather than Jerry Nelson.

[Garrettk41]

Oscar's closing song is a spoof of Irving Berlin's Alexander's Ragtime Band, originally crooned by Ethel Merman.

[MarshalGrover]

Correct! Not many people would pick up on that.

[Garrettk41]

True. I myself happen to be a fan of the classics despite my generation. You should see the movie if you haven't already. It's quite entertaining.

[GinnyNeutron]

Grover and Mr Johnson!!! YAAAYYY!!!

[funnymannumber2]

Why Me?! LOL

[antsamthompson9]

That is Peter Linz doing the pig at the end. I know that because he sounds like Skye from The Puzzle Place.

[Garrettk41]

Are you sure? Sounds more like Kevin Clash to me.

[antsamthompson9]

I am sure. I know my Muppetear voices.

[antsamthompson9]

The best way to tell if it's Peter is when he says, "You might have seen her in Swine Lake."

[Garrettk41]

Well, the truth is, Linz was such on occasional performer, I'm totally clueless on how to know him when I hear him.

[antsamthompson9]

Oh, I see. I guess you never watched Puzzle Place.

[Garrettk41]

I was too old for it when it premiered.

[antsamthompson9]

Oh, I gotcha.
