    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    Sweetums has become al ittle scary. I think it's the voice and the fact that his part is limited now. I think bad editing is really hurting them uppets these days. Editing and directing. The ideas are there and the scripts are ok but when they get hacked by editing it creates a sub-par...

    It's not really that ofdd since the deals were all probably struck before the sale. This has been in production since before the disney buy out.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    So many people blame Disney for the remakes of stories, but the fact is they were all JHC ideas under the leadership of Brian Henson.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    It's racist in that they just see black people and make a snap judgement that it must be the balck wizard of Oz and therefore not for them. And there was nothingf "urban" about the movie. For christ sake, it took place on Kanas and Oz, not a freaking city. To say black equals urban is...

    Exactly. Obviously a sexual reference.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    A burp...you are so offended by a burp.... Well, I guess you never burp. I guess you never watched Sesame Street because Cookie Monster always burps when he eats cookies. So, it's not just "hollywood idiots" it's Frank Oz and JIM Henson who thought a burp can be funny too. Everyone...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    You are an adult who is far too sensative. First off, if you actually watched the movie you would see that Dorothy learns that where you are does not matter and she decided that being in Kansas with her family is just fine. That is why she wished to gfo home in the end. Otheriwse she would...

    If Kermit stops hosting...

    Hmm...strange. I never actually thought about it. No one would seem right. It's like people that remember Jonny Carson and were introduced to Leno after years. Just doesn't seem right, yet people who only know Leno see nothing weird with it at all.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    I notice the ones who are most racist are the ones that are compelled to say they aren't. Fact is from the start there were people saying "we already had a black Oz" and "They are trying to get the black audience". Let's just say I think the cast is "coloring" too many people's view of the...

    Listen, the Wiz is totally different than just having a black cast. To say they are the same just bexcause there is a black cast IS racist and you should be ashamed.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    Well it is the Wonderful World of Disney and he is the one who intros it. You had to expect it to be there. That's like complaining that Jim Henson came in at the start of the Jim Henson Hour. One thing this movie needed was more Oz animals. i think that wouod have pumped it up.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    Well I would assume that in the book the witch did not set it up. It was just a natural trap in Oz to keep anyone from getting to Emerald city.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    I remember seeing that return to Oz movie. I really liked it. Much darker and more serious. The muppet version has a similar feel. The witch seemed more evil and did eviler things and it really worked on a funny and also serious and scary level. " I was hoping the Wizard would take on...

    Any news on the remaining Muppet releases?

    Yeah, it's very cool. If it were any other way the lines just would not match up. And best of all the Sesame line picks up right as the Muppet line leaves.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    Were you people expecting GOLD here? It was not as bad as many of you make it out to be. It was not the worst production of all time. It was not hideous. It was a made for TV movie with a low budget that still had some cool stuff in it and some funny lines. And if one more ADULT...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    But it wouldn't fit with what they were doing. They were 4 pig sisters, not a pig, anne sue pig, a chicken, and a human like character. So no, it owuld not be better if Janice played a witch and Camilla already had a role set. Plus she can't talk, so what kind of witch would she make? And...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    Again, how would you have done the Wizard scene with a tv special budget? The poppy club was their version of the poppy fields from the book and the movie. Do you know nothing about the story? It's there to stop them from reaching the emerald city. It's like a test to make sure they...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

    First off Rizzo said WITCH slapped. It was a pun. I don't know why you thought it was ***** slapped. It was a funny joke in a PG movie. Seeing Kermit and Gonzo torn apart was a little disturbing put it is part of the story. I give them credit for actually doing it instead of wussing out...
