An NPR interview with Kevin Clash and Elmo.
Kevin interviews are always very lovely and insightful, and this one is no different. They talk very heavily about the movie Being Elmo, which you should all go and see while its still in theaters! Elmo’s in the interview for bits and pieces, but it’s mainly Kevin-centric.

catmansmuckers asked: Since you are going to be sensitive to the "ableists" out there, do know that the Muppet Performers do not accept the phrase "Muppeteer". They are known as "Performers", or "Muppet Performers". If you're going to be sensitive and all:)
So. I just realized that the tagline for this tumblr (“we do what everyone wants to do: act crazy”) was very ableist*. I should have been aware of this before hand. I apologize deeply.

A Muppet fan lives out a dream.
nevertoooldtolovemuppets:
Hey Muppet fans, I just thought I’d share this with you all.
For those of you who’ve been a fan of the Muppets for a while now, I’m sure you know of the existence of The Muppet Mindset, which is a great blog over at blogspot run by an even greater guy named Ryan. I don’t know Ryan personally, but we’re both on the MC Forums and I’m pretty sure we’ve interacted on there...

thewalruswasdave asked: The Jim Henson Company has been doing shows recently using digital puppets that are all rendered in CGI. I don't think Jim would want advancements in puppetry to stop after his death. He was always about pushing the limitations of the art. So, yeah. Take that people who hate blue screen.

I didn’t exactly get these questions but I figured I should answer them to get this information out there.
Where do you get most of your images?
Muppet Wiki! The Muppet Wiki is literally a goldmine of muppet information. They have a page on everything. That’s why I linked it at the top.
Who is your favorite muppet performer?
Let me just list my top five:
1) Richard Hunt
2) Jim...
I’ve noticed that quite a few people actually reblogged my latest photo with Walter and saying how terrible it is that The Muppets used CGI. I don’t want to be that correcting ass but well. Let me just quote Muppet Wiki:
“Jim Henson and the Muppets often merged elements of traditional puppet techniques and modified them for use in television and film. One example of this is the...
