The Muppets - A Green and Red Christmas (2006)

Description by a reviewer:

I wanted to add my two cents in here because I feel that this CD is fantastic and is being judged rather unfairly. I found the new songs innovative and entertaining, some just down right hilarious. I also believe that the song "Red and Green Christmas" is adorable and fits in perfect with the classic repertoire of Muppet music. In regards to the voices, I think people are being rather harsh. Of course Dr. Teeth and Rowlf are going to sound the same. Even when performed by Jim Henson it was difficult to distinguish the two without visuals. Kermit is played by Steve Whitmire who has been playingmore… Kermit since Henson's death and has done a fantastic job. I didn't hear people complaining after Muppet Treasure Island or A Muppet Christmas Carol. Also, many people are commenting on how glad they were that piggy has remained true to the original. I would like to point out that Frank Oz's name is not on the CD and was performed by Eric Jacobson, not Mr. Oz himself proving that second gen performers aren't as bad as most people make them out to be. It would be ridiculous to criticize this funny, heartwarming, and entertaining CD simply because they don't have the same voices from 25 years ago. I believe the humor and music is truer to the original Muppet show than most Muppet undertakings within the last 10 years, and I applaud both Disney and the Muppets on a job well done.
