From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Eric Jacobson (b. July 25, 1970) is a puppeteer and Muppet performer, who has been the primary replacement puppeteer for Frank Oz's characters since 2001. Jacobson initially started playing Bert in 1997, but officially joined the cast as Bert and additional Muppets in 2000. His role expanded in 2002 to include new Grover segments, particularly Global Grover. In 2001 he and David Rudman played Cookie Monster until 2002 when Sesame Workshop chose David as Cookie so there would be more interaction between Bert/Grover and Cookie Monster. His second role came in 2001 with The Book of Pooh, where he worked on Piglet and Kanga. That year, he also began playing Miss Piggy, debuting at the "Muppetfest" convention. Subsequently, in It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie (2002), he performed the roles of Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and Animal. In The Muppets' Wizard of Oz (2005) he performed all of these characters, as well as Sam the Eagle. Jacobson currently is a puppeteer for many Muppet productions, for Sesame Street, and Play with Me Sesame (2002 on). Jacobson appeared as the Little Bad Wolf in the pilot episode of Jack's Big Music Show.

At an age where cartoons are being remade into stupid CGI action blockbusters filled with explosions, offensive stereotypes, sex jokes and lazy fart jokes or bad generic "PG" kids films thanks to a horrible multi-billionaire director known as The Boomer (Parody of Michael Bay) Toontown's legendary cartoon characters settle aside their differences and team up to rescue their poor cartoon friends from The Boomer's empire of bad Hollywood production and stop bad cartoon remakes altogether! To describe this is more like a cartoon version of Justice League with Michael Bay explosions, it's hand-drawn animated characters (and some CG like Shrek) going up against bad Hollywood representations of their former selves in the Live-Action world. It's a satire of most dark gritty superhero films only this one is more family friendly and colorful.
