Muppets "Off to See the Wizard"

[muppetsstoogesfan1]

scooter makes a great scarecrow

[theobscurelily]

This was so amazing!!!!! I squealed when I saw Skooter... ah, muppets, good memories

[Angie2343]

Awesomesauce!

[disneyanimationfan41]

Lol I love Janice :p

[ihopper22]

why is the dog white? toto is a cute littlr blsck dog. oh well.

[unicornfoal]

@ihopper22 That's because Toto is being played by Foofoo, Piggy's little white poodle, who was an existing character. You may notice Foofoo is both a puppet and a real live dog in alternating shots. :D

[AdamYJ]

The Muppets have done Wizard of Oz a few times, actually. The first one I remember is from Muppet Babies. Piggy was Dorothy. Kermit was the Scarecrow. Gonzo was the Tin Woodman. Fozzie was the Cowardly Lion. And I think Animal might have been the witch. Certain roles just seem to fit. Like Fozzie, who's a bundle of nerves himself, as the Cowardly Lion.

[Artistmaker123]

0:22 ME!

[SxyChicDisney]

and gonzo is STILL the tin man

[TimeWaster001]

@SxyChicDisney Yup and Fozzie is STILL the Cowardly Lion! XD LOL

[sahomai]

Why does she always say for sure and rory?

[ryhoyarbie]

@sahomai

Janice's catch phrases are "fer sure" and "rully". She's been saying that forever because she's supposed to be a valley girl.

[cliffoneyted]

i had a feeling that gonzo was the tin man and fozzie as the lion,scooter really looks like the scarecrow i like it

[TheZB17]

@cliffoneyted this is close to the movie exept miss piggy was the witches and kermit was the scarecrow

[TherealRNO]

@TheZB17: Yeah. It's like The Muppets were referencing Wicked with that one.

[MistyJr95]

Yay! I was looking for this. Janice would've made a much better Dorothy than Piggy (I really hate Miss Piggy). Thanks!

[Dustehue928]

why cant i find any movies of Janice when she had a female voice actor? and LOL! "Tonight the part of Dorothy is played by ME!" "Im ready.." "Aawwhh..bummer" LOL!!!^^

[CheshireCatForever]

LOL "I love Oz, I may move there." I'm actually watching Wizard of Oz right now. :-) And I would love to see Janice as Dorothy. ;D

[tuamigamoni]

I love this video! television is not the same without the muppets show :(

[RabbitDance]

They were all so cute! Scooter as the scarecrow! (Aw adorable) Gonzo as a tin man! ( ha ha ha perfect, right? ...and that dancing) Then you think it can't get any better and out comes Fozzie Bear swinging his tail (OMG Epic cuteness ).

And of course Piggy is always beautiful. I love her singing :@ )

[ElectricShark]

Yes, they were all very cute.

Piggy looks like a big stuffed doll. :)

Although I'm so partial to Janice!

She's just so adorable in the intro!

[RabbitDance]

like rly fur-shure

[ElectricShark]

I can definetly picture Janice as Dorothy!

Miss Piggy is more suited to the wicked witch of the west. LOL!

[AaronArthurBaker]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!

[SenseOrSensibility]

If only the 2005 version of "The Muppets Wizard of Oz" had been this good.

[HazyChase20]

Agreed.

[ChrisC11291980]

@SenseOrSensibility Well, unlike that version, Mr. Henson was alive to oversee this one. Since the Wizard of Oz was one of his favorite movies, I suspect if he were alive during the 2005 version, it would have been different.

[wickedfeylady]

One of my faves too, Janice! They'd love her in Oz, I'm sure. She could be friends with Scraps.

[TimeWaster001]

Too true! XD LOL Janice would fit right in!

[historicbloke]

ha!ha! what fun

[muppetspuppets]

thanks for this. I'd love to see the full thing "The Muppets Go to the Movies"

[Anorbac]

I love the poodle! you can't see the difference between the muppet and the real dog

[TimeWaster001]

Yeah, that's crazy! It took me a few times watching it before I figured out which one was the real dog and which was the puppet! Why did they use a real dog in that scene anyway?

[TimeWaster001]

Is "The Muppets Go to the Movies" available on VHS at all???

[DELIVEREE]

According the Muppet Wiki, it has been released on video in the UK by Palace, but it has yet to be released in the US. Disney could release it... (sings) if they only had the rights ;)

[Psyceapple]

They did, it's on a muppet sinalong.

[mtigers1981]

Rule #1: Always tell anyone involved with your production what with you plan to do with it AHEAD OF TIME. That way, nobody will get shocked with some of the creative or dramatic choices you've made.

Cause to be honest, Piggy would've gotten to have sung all of "Over the Rainbow" if Rowlf hadn't interrupted to express his surprise.

[TimeWaster001]

Ah come on, it's funny! XD That's the only reason they had Rowlf in the song at all!

[JoelandtheBots]

If only they hadn't waited so long to do their Oz movie, we would have seen Scooter pwn as the Scarecrow, no offense Kermit.

[TheBritishGothic]

Yeah...I think Scooter would have made a great Scarecrow. But then, what part would Kermit play?

[JoelandtheBots]

He'd be the wizard :)

[TheBritishGothic]

Yep. That'd fit him pretty well ^^

[TheBritishGothic]

I'm not ready!

No problem! Tonight the Part of Dorothy is played by ME!

I'm ready!

Oh Bummer. XD

[ElectricShark]

Janice is so cute in the beginning!

[TheStoryWriter]

The sad part is, this montage was actually better than the 2005 "Muppets Wizard of Oz." I was actually disappointed in that.

But THIS is genius!

[DELIVEREE]

Even worse is the "Muppets Wizard of Oz" DVD didn't include that video.

[TimeWaster001]

Yeah! I was so ticked off this wasn't included! It would've made a great bonus feature!

[Musiclover19]

Well those songs are owned by Waner Bros/ Time Waner and the Muppets are now owned by Disney and the Muppets Wizard of Oz was a Disney production. So it's not hard to see why this wasn't included as a bonus feature, in Disney's mind it probably wasn't worth the trouble and I can see where their coming from.

[Musiclover19]

And needless to say, this special "The Muppets Go to the Movies" was done before Disney bought the Muppets.

[WickedFan4000]

miss piggy is great as dorothy! and she was fabulous as all the witches in the Muppets wizard of oz! God, I love all of the Muppets!

[Treemeadow]

omg! Janice is now totally my fave fer sure XD She lovs OZ too

[thebritish5]

the puppets who play lion and tinman are the same who play them in the real muppets wizard of oz

[emilyrules96]

i think scooter is cute as scarecrow.

[SamLocke]

alot better than the official Muppets Wizard of Oz

[daiu1ro]

this video should be more popular, it's one of the best

[teenangel93]

aw. Janice would've make a great Dorothy :O)

[Treemeadow]

fer sure!

[Kryptoburn257]

Rowlf: Hey Miss Piggy, everything is in black and white!

Miss Piggy: It's supposed to be like this. The colors will come in a minute.

Rowlf: Oh... Don't adjust your sets everyone!
