For all the peeps with Wizard of Oz Icons!!! — Page 6

oh wow luvliza89 is that the Marvel Comics Adaptation of "Oz" I see peeking out the right hand corner of the pic? I'd know that edition anywhere, big comix fan that I am. it's funny that soundtrack you have in the middle has dorothy drawn in a pink dress(!) my niece is obsessed with Oz she's 4 and watches it every day. she laughs at the witch! LOL.

I've gotta be the road.
Know any good brick layers?

Li'l Fishy I didn't say you were pansy as a child.

Marquise, it is indeed the Marvel Comics Adaptation of "Oz". I wanted it for SO long and was ecstatic when I got it. I have the Marvel "Land of Oz" as well. To bad they never continued their line of comics, I would have loved them.

Sorry to burst in on this...I would have a Wizard of Oz icon, but I've got this weird thing against using icons in general. The Wizard of Oz is my all-time favorite movie, so I had to check out this thread.

luvliza, your collection looks awesome. Have you seen the ruby slippers at the Smithsonian? I'm not really a collector-type of person, but seeing those was like my childhood dream coming true. I know more random facts about this movie than anything else, so that was a awesome.

That being said, Jwei- Toto was actually played by a female dog named Terry, who later changed her name to Toto (I guess it looked better on the marquee).

Miss Piggy's "bio" from the Muppets' Oz website had me rolling on the floor laughing my @ss off!:

To show the world her incredible range and to qualify for as many acting awards and wardrobe changes as possible, the legendary Miss Piggy appears as all four witches in The Muppets' Wizard of Oz. It is an astonishing accomplishment (as she is quick to remind you…repeatedly), but exactly the sort of unparalleled screen-hogging performance one expects from one of the most glamorous stars the silver screen has ever known.

From modest beginnings (which she is quick to gloss over) Miss Piggy first broke in show business by winning the Miss Bogen County beauty contest, a victory which also marked her first meeting with frog of her life, Kermit. The rest, as they say, is history (and lot of juicy gossip, too).

In 1976, Miss Piggy started out in the chorus of The Muppet Show. Thanks to her charisma and a correspondence course in karate, Piggy made her presence know and soon became the lead chanteuse and femme fatale on the show. Quickly, her career expanded to include television specials, home videos, records and books. Her "how to" volume of advice on absolutely everything, Miss Piggy's Guide to Life, became a national bestseller, and her fabulous face has been featured on the cover of countless magazines too numerous to mention (oh, all right, we'll name a few: Time, TV Guide and People).

Along with her dear sweet Kermie, Miss Piggy has appeared in all six Muppet feature films including The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, The Muppets Take Manhattan, The Muppet Christmas Carol, Muppet Treasure Island and Muppets From Space, as well as on innumerable television shows and wherever expensive shoes and chocolates are sold.

Lol!
I just discovered that Pepe the prawn it's spanish...

-----------
As Toto in The Muppets' Wizard of Oz Pepe becomes the first prawn to play a dog in the history of motion pictures. (Sure, it's a small niche, but it's his.)
This hot and spicy king prawn was born off the coast of Spain, where a fisherman discovered him during an early morning casting call.

Maybe he was discovered in the same casting with antonio banderas.
