:wink: Scooter. We all know who he is. Now whos better
at replacing :smile:cry: ) Richard? Everyone mentions Brian Henson
taking the wheel but what about Adam Hunt? Brian might
be better but I like the sound of a Hunt performing. Post
your opinions.

I have to say that Adam's Scooter is pretty darn good. A little high, but good. On the other hand, i think Brian deserves the character more. he doesn't eally have a "main" character that worked well. Sal is good, but not a main character. Dr. Phil is way too annoying for me. Scooter is good for Brian because he can do a darn good Scooter and is already a preestablished character giving him a definate place as a main character.

Niether really do a perfect Scooter, though when I first heard Brian do Scooter in the movie I felt as if Richard were alive and performing him. It's the same way I felt when I heard Steve do Statler.

Adam's voice was a close approximation, but he's not a puppeteer and hence isn't in the running.

Matt Vogel also did Scooter and Janice for a Playstation game a few years ago, but he wasn't able to audition for the Christmas movie. (He was shooting Sesame while the movie taped in Vancouver.)

Hmmm. This topic has been mentioned before. Personally, I think they both did a good job. Scooter has the type of voice that you can't really imitate. You just have to go with whatever comes naturally. Since, Adam's Scooter only had one line, it was hard to tell how he sounded. I thought Brian's was really good though. He should stick with the character. Now, if only he could get Janice's voice right.

Secret,

That is a shame about Matt not being able to attend, He did a really good job with Muppet Race Mania.

I think he could be Janice full time, His Scooter was good to.

But when I heard Brians Scooter I was just stunned, It was just like Richard was performing. I say Brian stays on as Scooter, Which is very possible now, Isnt it ?

I also agree that Steve should stay on as Statler.

I havn't heard Matt or Brian do Scooter yet so I can't comment on it.
Can any one help with an audio clip. Just like in the discussion on Statler ?

I'd like to get my hands on that game. I haven't heard Matt as Scooter or Janice yet. Or is that just for Playstation? That's a system I don't have.

I guess it's a playstation only game. I haven't seen it for anything else.

I'd like to hear Matt's Janice, but even if his Scooter is perfect Brian should keep the character because he did an amzing job in the movie. I have PS2 so I should probably buy Muppet race Mania to hear the difference.
