As I understand it Ricky Boyd WILL be the new voice of Robin. I have heard through the grapevine that his Robin is amazing and you really can't tell the diference. I have also heard he does a really good Gobo Fraggle too.

Ricky Boyd did Scooter in MWoO, and I REALLY hope to see him on board to perform Scooter and Janice in the future!!

In the Oz movie, Bill Barretta plays Lew Zealand, Steve Whitmire plays Statler, John Kennedy plays Floyd and Alice Dinnean plays Camilla.
Didn't John Kennedy play Dr. Teeth at one point in time? I wanna say it was in MFS, it was one word, "Shalom", when the EM was playing a bar mitzvah, I believe.

If Kennedy is getting Floyd, who's getting Dr. Teeth?

I didn't see WoO- which previously silent Muppets were in that and who performed them?

Bill Barretta has been playing Dr. Teeth (as well as Rowlf) recently.

Well, that makes sense, since Rowlf and Dr. Teeth have always sounded similar.

By the way, has Robin been seen in anything since Jerry's retirement? I think I read on Toughpigs that he appeared on "Good Morning America," but I'm not sure.

By the way, I don't think Rickey Boyd ever performed Janice. Tyler Bunch performed her is MWOO. Rickey's Scooter is really good though. It's a big improvement over Brian Henson's Scooter.

Then, in that case: Give Scooter to Rickey and Janice to Tyler. They are awesome!!

I'm probably not the first to mention this, but I think Eric's Fozzie has improved a lot between Its, a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie and Muppets Wizard Oz
