      Jim Henson was definitely a genius, his Muppets were loved by both Kids and adults which is something you don't see too much of anymore, but I find it 😥 that the Muppets aren't the way they used to be because a black and tan rat took a dump on them 😥😪.

      @@spongeycraftstudios4371 I know right, I remember watching some of the newer Muppet movies and it wasn't the Muppets. there was this feeling of Garvin, sadness, and depression that the Muppets gave out. it's. like they were trying to fix the Muppets, but the Muppets were never broken to begin with, in other words if it's not broken don't fix it. they should have retired the Muppets after Jim Henson passing.
