Muppet Wizard of Oz

Ok, this is really fun. And much closer to the book than the MGM movie. Although it's not really that close...

Gonzo is pretty cool as the Tin Thing, and I like Fozzie's Lion... he's a natural. Ashanti is great as Dorothy. And Toto was... a surprise. I'm still laughing. And there are bits of The Wiz in this one, too. All original music.

Halfway through, I'm really enjoying this.

Update: Well, it was fun and lighthearted, had some good muppet moments and some good Oz moments... the design of the Emerald City was particularly nice. I also liked that they somehow fit the penguins into the whole thing. Some interesting special effects at times... goofy as well. The flying monkeys were great, and fit the basic outline of what happened in the book. I suppose rats can substitute for field mice in a pinch. All four witches of Oz showed up, and the Good Witch of the North actually was named correctly! Yup. It was fun. Exactly what I expected from the muppets.

And Toto... heh. Toto...
