Oscar the Grouch walk-arounds

The various puppet s / costume s use d for  OSCAR THE GROUCH  created for various stage shows & public appearance s. The puppet s used for  SESAME STREET  Live &  SESAME  Place & are much heavier & larger than the real  OSCAR THE GROUCH  puppet  use d on  SESAME STREET . The  OSCAR  puppet  i s heavier & larger so the puppet won ' t look small compared to the  SESAME STREET  walk - around costumes used for various different productions. Also, being a w a l k - around character ,  OSCAR  can walk around in his   TRASH CAN  with  his  legs sticking out from the bottom. It ' s also very rare that they should have walk - around version s of  OSCAR THE GROUCH .

The full - bodied walk - around debuted in 2012. In stage show s,  OSCAR  is performed to a vocal track by CAROLL SPINNEY  ( or in the case of international appearances , the person who dubs  OSCAR  ' s voice in t h at country ).

Like all the other  SESAME STREET  walk - around characters  OSCAR  was originally designed & fabricated by the Muppet Workshop, who eventually handed these duties over t o VEE Corporation.
