From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Matthew J Vogel II (born October 6, 1970) has been a Muppet performer for the Jim Henson Company since the 1990s. On Sesame Street, Vogel served as the assistant puppeteer for Ernie, performing either one or both hands while Steve Whitmire performed the head and vocal. Eventually, Vogel's ability to mimic the sound and performance of Caroll Spinney's Big Bird was put to use. As of 2006, Vogel's primary performances as Big Bird are the "Journey to Ernie" segments. He's also taken over Jerry Nelson's characters, by the recommendation of Nelson himself. Vogel is, as of 2008, the voice of Floyd Pepper, Lew Zealand, Crazy Harry, Robin the Frog, & Camilla the Chicken. He has also taken over the puppetry of Jerry's most famous character, Count von Count, but Jerry is still providing the voice. Vogel performed the muppets that were used in Kenneth the Page's view of the world in the 30 Rock episode, "Apollo, Apollo."

From Walt Disney Studios comes a brand new magical adventure! In a "Roger Rabbit"-esque alternate universe, the Walt Disney Company's CEO - none other than Mickey Mouse - finds himself in a big pickle. Thanks to some huge executive flubs on Mickey's part, the company is losing more money than it's earning, so he and his friends put their heads together and formulate the perfect way to make back money. They concoct a scheme to rope Scrooge McDuck into sponsoring the worst possible movie they could make - a reboot of the highly polarizing "Song of the South". However, production goes completely awry, thanks to costars who keep trying to kill each other, an overly glittery wardrobe, and Daisy Duck as a casting agent, and it seems like the movie will be over before it starts!
