Piggy and Fozzie are voiced and performed by other people (Fozzie no-where near as well).
That really disappoints me. I thought it was Frank Oz in those Miss Piggy commercials. Also from what I understand, he only spoke for her in Muppets From Space. (one of my favorite films) He didn't perform her though.
Nope. Oz only did the voice for Piggy (and not even Fozzie in that film). Now it's a new guy who does Piggy and Fozzie's performing and voices.
Frank is now a big Hollywood director! He has no time for talking pigs!

Stewie is a fantastic character, though my personal favourite is Peter. He's just so ridiculously stupid. Stewie is definitely Seth's best performance though cause it's so far removed from his normal voice.
Yeah. Usually all of Seth's voices sound alike. I mean, you can always tell when it's him. But Peter sounds nothing like the others.
And have you ever listened to the commentaries on the DVD sets for Family Guy? Hilarious! I love when he does Stewie's voice and says things he couldn't get away with saying on the show.
No I haven't . Unfortunately the first release of the dvds in the UK didn't contain any extras. They re-released them again with commentaries I think but I didn't want to have to buy them again. Season 4 is out over here on Monday which I'm looking forward to as I've only seen the first episode.
I have never really thought of who all of my favorite vocal talents were, other than actors and actresses that I would love to have do voice work for some of my own original animated characters someday! Because of that, the voices you see below were for the most part picked out because I thought that they would also work great for my own creations. Otherwise, I am very sorry to say, I really don't keep the best track of who voices what in every animated feature film. Here is a list of some of the voices that I like. The cartoons mentioned in bold are the vocal perfomances that caused me to become hooked on the actor/ actress, and cartoons listed in plain text are just some other cartoons that the actors have provided voice work for to giv you some additional reference.
Mark Hamil ("The Joker" in Batman: The Animated Series, "Captain Stickybeard" in Codename: Kids Next Door, "Larry 3000" in Time Squad, and many others)
Michael J. Fox ("Milo Thatch" in Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Stuart Little)
Casey Kasem ("Shaggy" in Scooby Doo, Where Are You!, "Alexander" in Josie and the Pussycats)
Tara Strong ("Lena" in Scooby Doo on Zombie Island, "Bubbles" from The Powerpuff Girls, "Raven" from Teen Titans, and many others)
Hynden Walch ("Becky Thatcher" from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, "Starfire" from Teen Titans)
Eva Gabor ("Duchess" from The Aristocats, "Miss Bianca" from The Rescuers/The Rescuers Down Under)
Bob Newhart ("Bernard" from The Rescuers/The Rescuers Down Under)
John Candy ("Wibur" from The Rescuers Down Under)
Bill Pullman ("Corso" from Titan A.E.)
Sandy Duncan ("Vixey" from The Fox and the Hound, "Peepers" from Rock-A-Doodle)
I am sure that there are many many others out there that I like, but favorite voice actors and actresses is one tough list to compile!
There's a 68.71% chance that I'm right.

In answer to your sig: "Cute". ;)
Just in case you or anyone else was wondering, my quote isn't just me trying to be some kind of intellectually arrogant jerk-- instead my sig is a slightly altered version of a line that was originally said by the Master Control Program in the 1982 Disney film "TRON." The original line was "There's a 68.71% chance that you're right. End of line. because the Master Control Program was commenting on a suggestion made by Dillenger, but what fun would it be to tell everyone else that they're right instead of you in your sig? No fun at all I say!

How can you always have like, 50 favorites of everything? There can only be so many things listed before they're not favorites anymore. When I list favorites, I list anywhere from 5-10 things, because out of 50 of some things I like, those are my favorites.
I mean, for example, I could list every single cartoon character that I like, but my favorites would be Violet Parr, Stitch, and Timon & Pumbaa (to name a few, and only a few =P). It just keeps things simple. If you list too many things, you lose people. That's my opinion. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. It's just bugging me.

I'm sure there's more, but my brain isn't functioning properly right now. I like Frank Oz for the variety (and quirkiness) of his voices, and James Earl Jones for sheer, deep coolness.

Just to let you know... I got the reference. I don't think you got mine though!
My "cute" was in response to that - it's what Dillenger says to the MCP after that line!
Here's an interesting thought I had. Is there anyone that you think would be a talented voice actor but hasn't voiced anything yet?
My vote goes to Jim Carrey. I know he can do impressions, but he has a great voice to start with. And I just saw Fun With Dick and Jane, so I know he's still got it. =D

He didn't perform her though.
