I can't imagine it would be the same without Jim Henson (and with Disney at the helm.) the original series had a cheerful go for broke quality that came of being "on the fringe" and probably low budget from the looks of it.
But the muppets haven't been the same for me since Henson died anyway.
The original movie is still one of my favorite things actually - it's not too polished, there's a dusty '70's feeling, and I watched it a couple of years ago for the first time in decades and it made me cry all over again. Probably for different reasons than it made me cry when I was 11 or 12.
The other movies - meh. Totally lost the feel of the original.
