Zap2it: Would you please give us your perspective on what this "Wizard of Oz" is about?
Miss Piggy: It's about a beautiful witch and the scarecrow she has the hots for. Of course, moi plays the witch and Kermie plays the scarecrow, and needless to say, we set the screen on fire, Oh, there's some other people in the movie, but I didn't pay a lot of attention to them.

Zap2it: You are so dazzling as the four witches; why not go whole hog, so to speak, and play Dorothy as well?

Miss Piggy: It is true that moi is magnifique playing all four witches, a feat which makes me eligible and a virtual lock to win four -- count 'em, four -- Emmys. As for playing Dorothy, moi considered this, but I felt it was important to give a struggling youngster like Ashanti a shot at the big time. And besides, it was too much work.

I'd like to see her tie for the Emmys, with herself!

I love Frank Oz!
Miss Piggy: Moi is very selective about the movies I make, not only to ensure the quality my fans expect, but because development is so much more fun than making the movies: You have lunch and dinner with stars and directors and the studio pays. But yes, I am planning to star in a new Broadway production of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Ham?"

LOL!
Thanks for the link Craig. I love the muppets. This film looks fun. My favorite will always be the Frog Prince with Sweetums. Updated On: 5/20/05 at 05:09 PM

Actually, Frank hasn't done most of the tv/film voices for the muppets since 2000 when Eric Jacobson took over the roles originated by Frank.

Watching now.
My favorite is TOTO the PRAWN.
I will never look at SHRIMP the same way again.
LOL!

I love Toto too.

But WHAT IS UP WITH ASHANTI'S WIG?! It's driving me nuts!

A PET PRAWN.
Who would ever think of that.
FUNNY STUFF.

Ashanti tried on the shoes and said "they make me feel confident and sexy!" Picture Judy Garland saying this.

I liked the Divine Swine's Paula Abdul hair in the opening scene - very clever!

This is the worst piece of sh*t I've ever seen.

my kids are into it CM2, so maybe it works at their level?

Well, I'm glad somebody's into it. Just a bit of noise, really. And I like the Jimmy Stewart!

That's kind of funny because Glinda has teh hots for Fiyero, and like, scarecrow, you know? Wow, I can't articulate anything today. Articulate, is that a word?

Pepe the King Prawn stole the show...

Pepe did.
He went from Toto to Pepe.
