Sort of Bo... But why make sense when it's more profitable to make dollars?
Lisa-ism aside...
Have to say I liked The Muppets Wizard of Oz, the 2005 TV movie. Watched it when it first aired, and I have the extended DVD release.
It presented a much more complete and I guess faithful version of the story writen by L. Frank Baum.
Would've chosen someone other than Ashanti Douglass for the role of Dorothy Gale, but at least she was better than some other Disney possibilities.
The DVD is much better than the original TV airing due to its completeness... And there's a good Muppety feeling with the auditions at the beginning and the staged show at the end.
Yes, there was a something missing, and yet they pulled the seams from behind the curtain so that it was mostly Muppety enough for my liking.
Maybe next time we can get an original story... If these producer type people read anything of the fanfictions on this forum...
As Pepe said in Summer in the Theater... "Dis is de file for all the stories dose crazy peoples called fans write hokay?"
Some day I guess, they'll come here and find it... Thanks to us lovers of the Muppets, dreamers, and us crazy fans.
