Legacy Characters and the Actors Who Play Them

This is a weird thread, and it may not go that far, but I figured, why not.

Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Kermit the Frog, James Bond, and even our very own TMNT could be called legacy characters. Characters who have been around for years and have passed through many hands. So what are your thoughts on the characters? Who was the best person to play your favorite "Legacy Character?"

To be honest I started this thread because of one in particular: Kermit the Frog. Despite the fact he's been Kermit's voice most of my life, I just don't like Steve Whitmire's Kermit...and I think it's only straying farther away from Jim Henson's. I'm not really sure why I feel so strongly about this, but that's just how I feel. any other Muppet fans feel this way?
