Ashanti, Tarantino Off to See Muppets in 'Oz'

[beaker]

Charles Grodin would be neat. Q.T. sounds fun as well. Ashanti as Dorothy, oh well.

Well I mentioned Charles Grodin, as in the 80's he used to pop up as an interesting advasary for the Muppets.

This is interesting news--it gives the first real sense of the direction they're going with this project. It's different than I expected, but I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with it!

WOW!!! very GREAT news! i just posted the news on my Disney Message Board

I wish they got someone better than Ashanti...I'm not happy with the choice at all.

Well, with VMC they didn't get any real 'hip' cameos...so at least they are making an effort by getting visceral indie film stalwart Tarantino on board.

Well, it had Snoop Dogg but too many mindless parental groups wrote nasty letters to take his bit off.... remember that debacle?

The rest of the Cameos were pretty much NBC commericals (Glad they didn't have anyone from Will and Grace... ugh). I did like Mathew Lillard though...

Could be worse. Do the Words "Hillary" and "Duff " mean anything to you. I'm really thankful they didn't use her (or the Olsen Twins! )! Queen Latifa should be interresting too. She worked with the Muppets years ago, when she wasn't an actress, back on SS, so we have someone who has worked with them before.

Ashanti Luvr 4 Life

WOCKA2416 isn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer. (Sorry!) I don't know about the rest of you, but Ashanti has changed my life.

"See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurting while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you"

Have you ever heard anything more profound than that? She'll make a better Dorothy than Judy Garland.

 

[WOCKA2416]

Well, I wouldn't want Hillary Duff either, but at least she has a big fan base. I just want the Muppets to have a big audience. But Ashanti still doesn't do much for me...I wish they got a good actress and worry about the singing later.

Well, maybe it will feature the return of some classic characters:

You don't have to list every single character. We all know who's been missing, and the full list (with photos) can be found at www.kermitage.com It is a great website and fun to read all the bio's!

It sounds like you like Ashanti a little too much.

Ashanti = Da Bomb

It sounds like you like Ashanti a little too much.

I disagree wocka...you can never EVER like Ashanti too much. She changed the way I listen to music!! She's going to be the best Dorothy EVER. Nuff said.
