Evolution Of Kermit The Frog - A Special Muppet DIStory Ep. 34
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 06. 2024
- While it hasn't been easy being green, it is easy evolving when you're a frog... trust me, they were born to evolve. And Kermit is no different. Over the past 60+ years Kermit has evolved in many ways!

My dad and I danced to Rainbow Connection for the Father-Daughter dance at my quince. My mom wanted it to at least be a cover but we DEMANDED that it was Kermit. It holds a really special spot in my heart now and I still tear up when I hear it.💚
That’s so wholesome
That toutce me!By the way i am dutch
Yeah....🤔😐😑..
Your dad's awesome because he likes kirmit and love kirmit too
So cute!!!
Kermit tap dancing to "Happy Feet" is an absolute favorite.
🎶Happy feet. I got those happy feet.
Give them a lowdown beat
And they begin dancin’.
I got those ten little tappin’ toes.
And when they hear a tune, I can’t control
My dancin’ heels to save my soles.
Weary blues can’t get into my shoes
Because my shoes refuse
To ever grow weary.
I keep cheerful on an earful
Of music sweet
‘Cause I’ve got hap, hap, happy feet!🎶
My favorite Kermit moment is always when he sings Rainbow Connection. I learned to play that song when I took guitar in college many years ago now and every time I play it, i picture myself in that swamp. The clip you showed from Muppets 3-D would be pretty close too because I adored that show at MGM Studios back in the day.

Matt Vogel should’ve been Robin.
Peter Linz should’ve been Kermit.
Does anyone else find Dan's laughter ridiculously infectious? Always end up laughing so hard i cry
The OG kermit was just a bald, footless, Fraggle 😂
👻 Froggle
And now he’s still bald

@@Bloxxers_rcl no no no

@@Paigee.8 oh yea
Watching the trailer for muppets now really made me realize how different kermits voice is with the change of the actor. Kermit just doesn't feel like kermit anymore.
@Sean Malin cool, nobody asked
The Muppets have kept the same spirit they’ve always had. You’ve just grown up.
I mean that new guy Matt is trying.
Literally all Matt is doing is the job he has to do, it’s not his fault that Steve got fired
I totally agree, I get he has a new guy voicing him but I don’t understand why they haven’t ensured his voice remained the same? It’s SUCH a key point in his character design.
Seeing Kermit swim in Octopus' Garden was always my favorite
My most favorite Kermit memory is one my family does every year. Watching The Muppets Christmas Carol on Christmas Eve.
I’m gonna start doing that now!
Loved this video, I am a Puppeteer! YES evolution of Big Bird!!!
What character are you
4:41 Let's get a bunch of likes on this so he can do Big Bird. Also, rest in peace Caroll Spinney... :'(
Yesss 💛
Ya it was so sad to me when he died. rip :(
I feel really lucky getting to say I got to meet him before he passed
@@heartkiller1666 Achievement, going to heaven for a while.
I didn’t even know he died.until my mom said he died Rest and peace Caroll Spinney
I came in thinking this was an evolution of the Kermit costume in the parks, and was pleasantly surprised by the in depth coverage of the puppet instead! Love it!
Busted out laughing around 7:28
This is so interesting. I would have never guessed there were so many alterations to the look of Kermit.
Also I watch these videos for Dan's happy personality and laugh and I was not disappointed.
I'd kill for someone to do this for all the other muppets. Rowlf? Dr. Teeth? Clifford? Scooter? I'd love an evolution for all of them, the only thing is it'd take SO MUCH TIME.
I would love to see a Rowlf one! Rowlf was Jim's first character to have a weekly presence on national television, thanks to the Jimmy Dean show, and the one he most closely identified with, arguably even more so than Kermit himself.
No episode of Disney Dan/DiStory is complete without Dan just dying of laughter
Yes
OF COURSE! That’s the best part. XD
The BEST part!! And we laugh with him!!
Agreed
Philip Kippel shut up
Last week on the first episode of season 5 of The Masked Singer, snail was unmasked to be Kermit The Frog himself!
That was amazing
@@justanerdyhobbitgirl It really was! Sad he went home. He could’ve won
I just love Dan's laugh, it's so infectious. One can't help but smile when they hear it. ^_^
I know this sounds pretty crazy, but I think Dan likes Kermit a little bit.
I think you mean a lot!
Eri chan
ERI CHAN HAS BEEN SAVE BY DEKU
JST TV um yes I am aware of that.
ERI CHANNNNNNN
The funny thing is, before Steve performed Kermit, he was one of the frog advertising executives in Muppets Take Manhattan, and his character sounded sort of like his Kermit. Then it repeated itself with Matt performing Constantine, that film's Kermit doppelganger before performing the frog himself. Weird how that worked out.
Huh! Fascinating
Incredible how I never questioned the Kermit on the fire truck 😂 I didnt ask how he was being puppeted, I was just like "Yeah he's Kermit he can do that."
From THE MUPPET MOVIE, people always talk about Kermit riding a bike as the most impressive scene, but no one ever talks about what happened before that. Kermit's swamp scene singing RAINBOW CONNECTION and Jim Henson literally performing Kermit while submerged underwater in a cramped container for 5 days for that one scene.
The Muppets have had a lot of bad luck after Jim's passing. At least they keep trying.
Daryl-Rhys Taylor You have to look at the good luck they've had too!
It's incredible that we still have them at all 30 years after Jim's death!
The longevity says a lot!!
And so many more successes than losses--
Muppet Xmas Carol is considered a holiday classic today.
Muppet Treasure Island was one of the biggest earners of 1996.
The Muppets was the best reviewed Muppet movie yet, with good box office, and even an Academy Award.
Merchandise has not stopped yet for Muppets.
Even the new Disney series Muppets Now is getting incredible reviews...critics love it!
Etc, etc.
To still be relevant in a day and age of computer effects & CGI, it says a lot about the Muppet franchise to still be alive and well.
@@michaeloberg3018 that is all true. Thanks for the positivity.
Disney's completely wasted them, except for a few projects. I've heard good things about the new Disney + show, but it just feels like they've been sitting on a shelf collecting dust collecting dust. They won't even finish releasing the Muppet Show on dvd, even though fans have been begging for years
@@CinnamonGrrlErin1 actually that is a legal copyright issue due the songs featured. It would be too expensive to get the rights to use the songs. You couldn't recoup the cost.
Daryl-Rhys Taylor I would suspect that Disney can afford to get the copyrights to get these DVDs released...but perhaps they will finally if this new series is a hit.
I'd like to think you're a big fan of Kermie
Yea I LOVE muppets and I feel like not many people like them anymore
correction:kermit
@@lolbit9859 correction: Kermie, the term of endearment Miss Piggy uses for her beloved.
Honestly, Muppet Treasure Island is probably my favorite Muppet movie. I watched it a ton. Still like it. I know people also speak highly of the Christmas Carol. But the other older films that Jim Henson was actually a part of were also fantastic.
I remember being ABSOLUTELY terrified of Kermit's Swamp Years !
I knew about it already but I just love how weird the muppet's history is like you go on from talking about sesame street, a show for toddlers, then you quickly glance over "Sex and Violence" and then you go onto the movie and honestly it's always a whiplash moment
I blame so much of my humor on the Muppets. I practically grew up with both the Muppets and Sesame Street, and both of them had long-lasting effects on me.
My all time favorite is probably the Muppet Family Christmas Special, I watch it every year at Christmas time. It's a shame it can probably never be released on DVD or Blu-ray without all the companies involved losing their minds.
I have it on DVD from 2003, a few scenes are cut out but it’s mostly intact
Really great, informative video. I gotta say, I love Muppets Take Manhattan Kermit most; the build was so clean and he even seemed to have a glow about him.
It's also worth noting that Don Sahlin perfected the "magic triangle" with the Muppet eyes. He's a guy who definitely deserves his own video really.
I just finished listening to Rainbow Connection when I got this notification
It’s fate.
@@DistoryDan, I love Kermit too and everything is my favorite about him, his designs, All of the voices of Kermit, Kermit tributes, Kermit songs, the Muppet TV shows, Muppet movies, Kermit on Sesame Street, old Jim Henson logos, Muppet direct-to-video productions, Muppet TV specials, Muppet music albums, Kermit VHS tapes and DVDs, Kermit toys, Kermit books, Muppet coloring books and stuff.
My favorite Kermit songs is Bein' Green, The Rainbow Connection and Let the Good Shine Out.
Me to
Nice
@@DistoryDan can you do the evolution of Walter who was introduced to us as the new muppet in the 2011 Disney movie the muppets i just wanna hear the story of how they came up with Walter and why they chose him to be a kermit the frog massive fan thanks i love Miss Piggy and Walter they are funny and also can you take a deep dive in what drove Miss Piggy and kermit to spilt up.
Alternative title: Guy fanboys about Jim Henson for 25 minutes 😂
Lol
Ayyye👉🏻
Shut up penny J
Don’t say that
Far fetched
I love any instance when they show Kermit in shoes. Those cowboy boots in The Muppet Movie killed me. 😂😂 For some reason, I find Muppet feet to be hysterical. Especially in shoes. I guess because we see them so rarely.
OMG. I loved the Muppet Babies toys - we had all of them because my cousin worked there and could get them for us!
I can see that Dan had so much fun filming with this episode
I think Disney should bring the Muppets characters back into the limelight with some live Disney shows with the Muppets characters like a Disney Muppets On Ice show, Disney Live! The Muppet Show, etc.!
They tried with that very short-lived Muppet show on ABC, but it had to be cancelled after a few episode because it wasn't pulling numbers. I absolutely love the Muppets, but unfortunately it seems as though the same people campaigning for more Muppets, aren't actually tuning in to watch the newer shows. It always boils down to the fans complaining that the new stuff is "not as good as/will never be as good as The Muppet Show", and then the regular non-fans who aren't invested in the characters to begin with just not being interested in watching a show with puppets in it. But then people complain that they want more Dark Crystal, another Labyrinth movie, more Muppets, more Fraggles, yet ha/ve no interest in anything related to the Muppets or Jim Henson Company, so nothing happens with any of the properties. That's why the Muppets have been slowly being fazed out from the parks. The average Disney Park guest isn't interested in watching an outdated 3D Muppet movie from 1990/1991, or street show of the Muppets retelling American history, and Disney is listening to that feedback (be it unintentional or not) and quietly removing Muppet stuff to put in more MCU, Star Wars, and Disney Princess stuff because they know *that* is going to pull in more attention than Kermit and Co.
Dan: *Collected Kermit junk*
Walter (Muppets): am i a joke to you?
To this day I’ll never not cry seeing Caroll Spinney preform as Big Bird at Jim Henson’s memorial service. You can just hear him on the verge of breaking down the whole time.
I don't know how else to say it, but you match your voice so freaking well and you are such a joy. You're like all the happiness of Disney in one and I love it.
Thank you! This warms my heart.

I look up to Jim Henson, too! He is one of my "creative heroes." 🤩
I assume he's your only "creative hero"?
@@moonprincesst.s.h.4ever115 but the way you said that
@@deniseslade5840 I said "one of..." Meaning more than one.
@@moonprincesst.s.h.4ever115 it said hero, not heroES
@@deniseslade5840 Look, I have Cerebral Palsy and I don't type words right every time.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE WHEN MISS PIGGY SAYS "kermie"
11:39 so you're telling me I accidentally figured out how to use the sewing technique used by Jim Henson?
When he brought out the giant Kermit I lost it 😂 Especially with his laugh, it always gets me 😂😂
Okay, I had always wondered how the heck the Muppets were able to ride bikes, I now know thanks to you and it's insanely fascinating! That is freak'n cool!
Dan kind of reminds me of the goofy uncle I wish I had😂
Can you please do an episode of the evolution of Big Bird? I would love to see that.
Me too. Big Bird is my favorite Sesame Street character!
Do an elmo
🎶 It’s not easy wearing a red sweater 🎵
Disney Dan, I really enjoyed the evolution of Kermit the Frog...You are a kid still at heart... Love it
Yes
this dude likes kermit more then walter
Whenever I'm having a bad day, I sing "The Rainbow Connection" and he's still my favorite to this day.
What can I say? In terms of the Muppets, Kermit has really been the frog prince of my life. He is full of humor and heart and he uses his happiness to lead the Muppets to have a rainbow connection with all of us fans. I LOVE that frog. Thanks for the video, Dan.
Ditto.
@@DistoryDan I did is awesome thank you to my channel
I love how you add so much laughter to your videos. It makes me laugh so much I've woken my daughter a few times. My favourite Kermit the Frog memory/song, etc....Well my Grandfather was absolutely over the moon about 2 cartoon characters and one of them is Kermit the Frog. Every time either myself or my Grandfather were wearing the colour green, he'd start singing "It ain't easy being green" and then he'd laugh and laugh. If my cousin or I were watching Sesame Street he'd stop whatever he was doing and get down on the floor and watch with us. I remember the year McDonalds had those Kermit the Frog plushies. My mother bought 2 of them and gave my Grandfather and I both one. After he passed his Kermit became mine. I wouldn't part with those little frogs for anything
I just randomly found this in my recommended and started watching it for no reason.( and then I subbed)
I just want to say, I found your channel tonight and I absolutely fell in love. Please stay happy and keep doing what you love!
Damn dan why must you always pull at my heartstrings. Well done again! And that series with Kevin was awesome too!
I was just thinking about Kermit the other day, then this was in my recommended section.
I love this! Between the ligit facts/dates, the huge Kermit collection, and the continuous laughs, this video became extremely entertaining. Keep it up!
You probably didn't know. And you probebly wont expect it, but the legends say dan is a bit of a Kermit fan
You're forgetting about the BEST Kermit...ARE U SUPER CEREAL'S KERMIT xD
10 seconds in: Life giving laugh
.....gonna be a good day
Disney Dan is the happiest CZcamsr I have seen to date. Long may he CZcams!
I like the muppet show Kermit because that’s when his personality really synched up with Jim’s. Just like Kermit was trying to keep the chaos contained in the muppet theater Jim Henson was going back and forth between London and New York offering encouragement and direction to all the different projects his company had grown into. Art imitates life
It's Time to Play the Music it's time to light the lights.
it's Time to watch the Muppet's on the Muppet show tonight.
and now out guest star Disney Dan yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video Dan! My favorite Kermit bit is actually from Sesame Street. “I’m Kermit the Frog and I want my Kermit the FROOOOOOOG T-SHIRT!!!!!”
I love watching your videos because you just seem so happy to talk about these things. I'm not even a huge disney fan but you're just having a good time and its contagious!
"Look how they mastered my boy"
You know seeing this, I wonder how he reacted to the more recent episodes of the masked singer.
Can I just say these lists are amazing
More Distory of the Muppets!!
All I can think of seeing this is my teacher doing his Kermit face when we do something wrong
Sometimes it feels like kirmit is a living breathing thing. Especially when they interview him
I would love to see evolution of fozzie (sorry I’m a day late, I forgot you uploaded this)
Y'know, for a guy who loves Kermit, you sure do remind me of Fozzie for some reason. I'm pretty sure he would give himself his own rimshaw.
Joking aside, if not Walt Disney, Jim Henson will forever be my idle. His imaginative flair, his insane comedy, and his imaginative wonder makes him one of the best Storytellers of all time, pun intended. The best part about these stories and characters is that they appealed to everyone, regardless of age or background. Hollywood, as well as the rest of the world, could use more folks like him. Also, if you thought the evolution of Kermit was weird, try half the cast of Sesame Street or Gonzo. Our favorite stuntman once helped an evil wizard kidnap Santa Claus! Gonzo has a troubled past is all I'm saying.
Rimshot not rimshaw. And it's idol not idle.
He went from grey demon to an iconic lime legend
Dan’s laugh makes me so happy for some reason
What a great choice!! You can really see your love for the subject. Great job.
I still have my Christmas baby Piggy from the time I was a baby! 🤩🤩🤣🤣
Bruh disney dans laugh is literally the best thing 🤣🤣
I love how you always go all in and decorate your room
I always love A Muppet Family Christmas from the late 80's, so that has got to be my favourite Kermit. Worried about Piggy, meeting new friends in the Fraggles and Doc and spending time with Robin!
Bless you for keeping me entertained during quarantine 🥺
What a grate Kermitcollection!
I love the sentimental song by the swamp. It always warms my heart
Picks up Kermit
Looks at himself
Laughs hystericaly
Dan your videos make me laugh out loud more than anything else on CZcams! Thank you for your great vids!
and by the way. favorite kermit memories: rainbow conection that first time in the muppet movie, the whole of great muppet capper, (anglophile here) kermits guilty gulp whenever he says someting hes not comfortable with, the hey look the comedians a bear sketch with him and fozzy,, just so many.
Dan is maybe the happiest man Ive seen timeline kermit's new looks, and why they look that way, and the backstory behind the character's existance.
Today I just found a true Kermit fan I am on your side to the ends of the earth
It's been awhile. It's not easy being green. Or stitching clothes.
I remember that Muppet movie where they went to Disneyland when I was a kid.
Plus building a house is not easy either.
12:40 aye that's my puppet so cool
Loved this video Dan, would love to see more Muppet content in the future 👍
This man’s laugh is so amazing, I absolutely love it. Sir could you please lend me your laugh? I promise to give it back :)
The real og kermet was committing war crimes in a 1950s coffee ad
Kermit was before Wilkins, about 3 years, in fact.
Dans laugh ... priceless
The muppets are my favorite! This is a hype up video for Muppets Now lol
Muppet Vision 3D was hands down my favorite part of Disney.
Kermit was on the masked singer season 5
My cousin was at the Muppet show live, he actually has a rare autograph from Jim Henson himself on the program and had his picture taken with him
@@AlexaPerezx my cousin has Muppet Show Live, as that’s what he went to
Edit: no, I don’t have videos. I wasn’t even born until 1995
I was excited to see the MGM show included in this! I've worked at four theater attractions in Studios and one of my coworkers who's been with Disney FORVER used to be in entertainment and was friends with Kermit during the shows run! This was also just a joy to watch because of how much fun you were having.
21:41 sleepy me: I should go to bed I can watch this in the morning
awake me: or you can watch 3 more episodes
Really enjoyed watching this! I'm not old[only a teen hehe] but I always watched the old Muppet Show on VHS tapes my parents got for me. They also aired some episodes on television too. I always wanted to be a puppeteer, or someone who would design puppets. It's so interesting seeing the evolution of a beloved puppet that many people grew up watching[like me]. I watched The Muppet show, some sesame street, and the Movies. Even the 1976[I think] movie!!
1:54 The one with that crazy beard and blue shirt looks like a minion
God bless you Dan, never change! X
My family got to be in the volunteer parade. It was fun!
Wow that is a lot of Kermit items
