Hmmm, I may have been away for a while , but I dont understand all the concern with Pepe as Toto. As an actor who has been in the show in 3 seperate productions, I can tell you that Toto is not a large role...most of the time he is shoved in a basket and replaced by a stuffed animal! Yes, I am am sure he will have some wisecracks...but it wouldnt be a muppet parody without messing with the plot a bit! :rolleyes: woof ok!
Any word on who will be playing the Wizard? I assume it may be Honeydew and beaker...but waldorf and statler would be great!

I would love to see Steve Martin do this if it's a human actor, but that's just my wishful thinking.

Pep as Toto sounds cool... but I hate the BS that all these non-muppet people post on Ain't it crap.com...

I'd like to hear real news... not some dimbulb's opinions..

"the Muppets Rocked, but then I turned 5" Yeah... well mister, go back to watching you're mind numbing MTV reality shows, and shut the frog up! :boo:

Oz? Aussie?

Maybe when they go to Oz, they could have everyone speaking in Australian accents or something....

ok, to all who know me, Im the biggest Wizard Of Oz fan, but it doubbles cuz Im a HUGE Muppet fan, so this is goig to be great! See at my wedding I want 2 things, a Kermit and Miss Piggy wedding cake topper, and my ruby slippers :smile: it would make me so happy... :cry:
anyway, I personlay like the movie ALOT better than the book (wizard of oz that is) It just had a better story to me, but I know the muppets cant really ues that cuz of the copy rights on the MGM wizard of oz version, so it will be more out of the book, wich is fine, I just cant wait to see it! :excited: :excited:

I wonder what the chances are of Ozzy Ozbourne doing a cameo in this one? I'd think somewhere from extremely likely to almost definite. He doesn't like puppets though - maybe they can CGI him in !

Well they could also do a few rips on OZ the HBO prison series. Can you just imagine Rowlf the dog pulling a shiv on Fozzie?

Come to think of it, I'd rather see Ozzy Ozborne make an appearance. :smile:
