Yesterday, the trailer dropped for Muppets Now. It will premiere on Disney+. Everyone was quick to notice the sound of Kermit the Frog’s voice. It was not the sound you know and love.

Muppets creator Jim Henson was the original voice actor of Kermit, but was replaced by Steve Whitmire after Jim’s death in 1990. Then Steve retired in 2017 and was replaced by voice Matt Vogel as the voice Matt was performing at live shows at big arenas, so no one really paid attention. Once the trailer dropped people were quick to point out the change in voice.

People took to social media and wrote, what did they do to Kermit’s voice #NotMyKermit. Who is this new Kermit voice? Umm Kermit’s voice, what happened?

The new unscripted #MuppetsNow, an original series, is streaming July 31 only on #DisneyPlus.
