For those of you who don't know, let me catch you up to speed:
>Steve Whitmire, the man who took on the role of Kermit The Frog after Jim Henson's death in 1990, was apparently fired by the Walt Disney Company (the owners of The Muppets franchise for about 12-13 years) in October of 2016.
>This explains why over the past six months none of Whitmire's characters (like Kermit, Rizzo, and The Newsman) have appeared in any Muppet videos or television appearances.
>A few days after his first statement, Whitmire posted another statement on his blog vaguely implying that the Walt Disney Company wanted to get away from Jim Henson's vision for the characters, and he was fired for trying to stop Disney from going forward with any of their projects.
Now that brings us to today:
>Cheryl Henson, the President of the Jim Henson Foundation and a member of the Board of Directors for The Jim Henson Company, released pic related on Facebook today, stating that Steve's Kermit is disgraceful to her father's legacy and it was her brother Brian (who's probably more involved with the company than her) who said that Steve should be the new Kermit (although Whitmire said in an interview several years ago that ALL the Henson children agreed that he should take over).
>>
>>93946133
>(although Whitmire said in an interview several years ago that ALL the Henson children agreed that he should take over)
Correction: it was Brian, Jane Henson (Jim's wife), and Frank Oz who agreed that Steve should be the new Kermit.

Statement from Muppets Studio (courtesy ToughPigs.com):
>"The role of Kermit the Frog is an iconic one that is beloved by fans and we take our responsibility to protect the integrity of that character very seriously. We raised concerns about Steve’s repeated unacceptable business conduct over a period of many years and he consistently failed to address the feedback. The decision to part ways was a difficult one which was made in consultation with the Henson family and has their full support."
Why would Disney/Muppets Studio go to the Henson family? The Hensons have been pretty hands off for years...

He kept drunkenly fucking Miss Piggy and he was really good at finding the puppet while drunk after they kept hiding it from him.

>>93946478
He disagreed with the writing on the ABC show as not being in character with characters he has been working with and performing since they were created. Clearly Disney knew better and the show was canceled after a single season.

>>93946391
He didn't really write any plans for how the Muppets should continue without him, the only thing he left were scripts and ideas for future projects.
>>93946454
I'm pretty sure they only consulted Cheryl because they knew Brian Henson is the only one (or maybe even John Henson before he died) who's honest-to-god trying to keep his father's legacy alive and trying so hard to bring many of Jim's projects to life in one form or another.

Honestly, this just comes down to his word against theirs, and I don't want to jump to conclusions without the full story.

But I'm inclined to side with the only person in this story who has an actual, demonstrable creative tie to the show, and not the company known for hiring yes-men creators and the lady who's done nothing her entire life but make money off of her father's creation.

Cheryl Henson instills about as much faith in me that she has the best interest of the Muppets at heart as Courtney Love does of Kurt Cobain.

>>93946349
So they can go "see, the actual Hensons are on our side!" and try and nip this controversy in the bud.

I forgot the specifics but apparently one state banned Sesame Street for a while on racial grounds since the cast of children was "highly integrated."

Mississippi.

>In May 1970, a state commission in Mississippi voted to exclude to host the show on its state educational TV network owing to concerns over the show's inclusive racial message. A member of the commission told the New York Times, that "Mississippi was not yet ready" for the show's integrated cast.
>>
>>93947988
Mostly this

>Whitmire, who was asked to take over Kermit by Henson's family after the creator's untimely death in 1990, said that an instance of a note was over a script for the new ABC series, canceled last year, in which Kermit lied to his nephew, Robin, about his breakup with Miss Piggy.

>"I don't think Kermit would lie to him," Whitmire explained. "I think that is Robin came to Kermit he would say 'things happen, people go their separate ways, but that doesn't mean we don't care about you.' Kermit is too compassionate to lie to him to spare his feelings."

>He continued, "We have been doing these characters for a long, long time and we know them better than anybody. I thought I was aiding to keep it on track and I think a big reason why the show was canceled (after one season last fall) was because that didn't happen. I am not saying my notes would have saved it, but I think had they listened more to all of the performers, it would have made a really big difference.'"

Having blacks on tv is not the same thing as preaching normalcy of homosexual and transsexual lifestyles. It's a form of conditioning that says "Hey. Being gay and cutting your dick off is cool. Join us!"

>>
>>93947675
>So they can go "see, the actual Hensons are on our side!" and try and nip this controversy in the bud.
The issue I take with that is whether or not the other Hensons are willing to agree with Cheryl or go against her. I'm certain Brian would at least have something to say about this situation. given >>93946199's post.
>>
>>93948658
Or maybe it's just saying "don't be a dick to gay people or trannies just because they're gay or trannies".

>>93948882
Lending credence to the homo lifestyle is fine in itself. There's nothing wrong with gay people. Pretending that gays are common and normal is inaccurate and is part of liberal conditioning. It's using pop culture to paint a false picture of society.

It becomes even worse when the media starts pushing the narrative of trans normalcy and the heroism of transsexuals. Transexuality isn't normal and it isn't healthy. But pop culture is creating the idea that it's fashionable to be inclusive of this shit.

Things have taken a turn for the worse, Brian actually joined in the shitflinging and has thrown Steve under the bus as well. How big a cheque did Disney give them, holy shit.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/17/arts/television/kermit-the-frog-disney-firing.html

>“He played brinkmanship very aggressively in contract negotiations,” said Lisa Henson, president of the Jim Henson Company, and Jim Henson’s daughter, in a telephone interview.

>Ms. Henson said Mr. Whitmire was adamantly opposed to having an understudy for his role, which presented problems when it came to what she called “B-level performances, such as a ribbon-cutting.” She said he was unwilling to appear on some of these occasions but also refused to develop an understudy and that he “blackballed young performers” by refusing to appear on the show with them.

>Brian Henson, the company’s chairman and Jim Henson’s son, said that while Mr. Whitmire’s Kermit was “sometimes excellent, and always pretty good,” things changed when he was off set.

>“He’d send emails and letters attacking everyone, attacking the writing and attacking the director,” he said. .”

>In a reflection of Disney’s determination to undercut Mr. Whitmire, executives there also arranged an interview for a Times reporter with a producer on a Muppets-related project who expressed the same criticisms as the Henson family. The producer declined to speak for attribution, however.

For Mr. Whitmire, who didn’t respond to the criticisms leveled by the Hensons or Disney, this is the end of a professional journey that has occupied his entire adult life. His bond with the Muppets began when, at age 10, he wrote a letter to Mr. Henson asking questions about puppetry around the same time “Sesame Street” had its premiere.

To be a devil's advocate for a moment.

These kinds of internal spats would naturally go unadvertised. To most people it would look very sudden. This kind of 'sudden firing' happens a lot. No one advertises the internal politics of their business.

This is why anyone who has a job and doesn't want to get fucked should keep a personal record of everything that happens. Even minor spats. In the end, it looks like he said she said to outsiders.

She may be her father's successor, but she's shitting on Jim's legacy for throwing this poor bastard under the bus.

Or perhaps everyone was tired of him shitting on Jim's legacy and his bus toss was long over due.

Goddamn.
>>
>>93951817
Let's see: she had a few cameos in Sesame Street when she was a kid, she sold the Muppets to Disney...and that's about it.
>>
>>93946133
Someone with a normiebook account should tell her to fuck off, hopefully she'll read it, the worthless cunt.
>>
>>93952015
Imagine the salt from her if she does.

She'd soon turn her attention to the fans and then it all goes nuclear.
>>
>>93952015
I'm sure there are people already doing that.
>>
>>93951312
Down vote everything on the Muppets YouTube channel and sign the petition so at least Steve gets to see that he was loved as Kermit.

If you're referring to the Flintstones doing Winston ads, those aired in prime time (just like the show) when kids were in bed.

And that cunty quote in that same video from Lisa Henson was outright appalling, how is "He had it a long time coming." going to help your case besides make you look uncaring and ice cold? I'm deeply disappointed in all three remaining Henson kids, especially Brian.

>>93950138
I was going to suggest that Steve was just very well hidden and the pattern on the door is just the wood grain, but they appear to have poorly Photoshopped Steve's feet out of the picture as well.

No, you have it backwards: The song was edited out of the theatrical release, but every subsequent release has had the song reinserted.

Was Whitmore's Kermit really noticeably different from Henson's?
I'm a casual viewer, and Kermit seemed pretty consistent from the old stuff to post-Henson stuff
>>
>>93958845
Kermit gave up on all his friends to sit alone in a mansion and sulk when he is supposed to be the glue that keeps them together in troubling times.

Does PBS still own Sesame Street? Since Kermit is under muppets, Is Kermit still allow to appear in Sesame street like back then or did Disney's buyout, prevent that?
>>
>>93961538
No, HBO does. HBO airs the episodes first and they're aired on PBS later.
>>
>>93961620
Ah. thanks. And is Kermit still appears on Sesame street or is that gone now too since Disney bought the Muppets?
>>
>>93946133
>blaming the VA for the writers
>>
>>93961705
Kermit stopped being on Sesame Street long ago, before the Disney deal. To answer your question, yes Disney owns Kermit and The Muppets.
>>
>>93961538
>Is Kermit still allow to appear in Sesame street like back then or did Disney's buyout, prevent that?
Once in a blue moon, Disney allows Kermit to show up (either for a Sesame anniversary or if the Muppets are doing a movie or something) and the Sesame people can use old Kermit footage in new episodes whenever they want and don't have to go through Disney.
>>
>>93946133

I wonder what Disney gave her.

It's not like she has expressed this before.
>>
Cheryl Henson doesn't even have a wikipedia article until all her siblings. Does she avoid being in public usually?

God, it's like I can feel Jim's anger from the other side. I hope he haunts some asses
