Video: The Muppets Present Great Moments in American History

Who ever was doing the puppetry had to have been trained cause it looks pretty good

I would assume the puppeteers are traditional Disney Park puppeteers. I know a couple of them, Art Vega and Alex Villa worked on the recent Muppet movies.

Are there only the two shows? I thought they'd have different ones for each time in the day, but whatever.

They're pretty good. The puppeteering is way better than I expected it to be. The schtick with Miss Piggy is a little tired, but I guess they could only do so much with the characters they had. And I learned a new pun I hadn't heard before ("Cough stirrup").

I'm glad these are in the park now; this is exactly the type of thing they should've been doing.

The Getting Felt Up podcast YT channel has a video where you can see Sam at every point he does something in the Declaration of Independence show:

That was awesome! I'm so jealous at WDW right now. Because I'm a Disneyland guy. Nonetheless, that was hilarious and cute. I hope this leads the Muppets getting a new tv show. Okay, maybe not, but sometimes you'll never know what happens.

Steve Swanson and JD Hansel have interesting stuff to say about this attraction. Listen from 23:48 to 31:40 and to hear Jarrod Fairclough's thoughts, listen from 57:42 to 59:24: http://muppethub.com/the-muppet-newsflash-podcast-3/

Negative or positive?

Negative or positive?

JD doesn't like the look of the puppets, but other than that, it's positive.

I'd try to listen, but I can barely tolerate JD Hansel.

I'd try to listen, but I can barely tolerate JD Hansel.

I understand that he sorta overthinks things, like thinking Pixar tugs on audiences' heartstrings too much, but I think he generally makes good points and has good insight.

Yeah. He and Steve Swanson tend to do that and they also make too many stupid and annoying jokes.
