I love how "Aykroyd" is misspelled in the site menu and actor heading, but spelled correctly in the text directly beneath it.

I saw that wall of celebrities. That's not the cast for this movie, I think it was meant to impress investors. For the cast I'm only seeing Dan, Jim (voice) and Martin Short (voice).

I counted two for "Ackroyd" and two for Aykroyd. But when you link the page it's spelled wrong so "Ackroyd" wins 3-2. lol

How crazy is that? It's ridiculous, isn't it? That's from the "Official" site.

IDK, the video makes it sound like it might be something wholly separate. Then again, she could simply be doing the voice work for this one.

Also, I emailed them yesterday about the spelling on their site.

Hey Wisdom. I never saw your post. I think it got held up because there was a link in your first post and it had to go through the spam filter er something. Thanks for the info!

Looks like they fixed the spelling but the gate still won't open. :eek:

I have to say that my whole life I've been a fan of the books and so far the closest I've seen anything get to the books has been The Muppets Wizard of Oz and two anime films Land of Oz and Ozma of Oz. Even the movies about the books that L Frank Baum made weren't even close to his original texts. I really, really hope that everything will stay within the integrity of the books--whether the story is close or not--just to keep the characters alive and well. I also don't want to see any far-out new design of the characters: either keep John R. Neill's original concepts of the characters throughout the 40+ books of Oz, Eric Shanower's art in more recent times, or similar to the 1939 classic movie.

This is the first time I'm hearing of this. Glad I joined this site It looks like it'll be a lovely movie [and I hope it will be!] and I can't wait to see it.

I've never seen "Glee" but I've heard of it, I understand it's popular. So the voice of Dorothy will be Lea Michele.

Quote

Lea Michele, Rachel on the hit television show “Glee,” has been chosen as the new Dorothy Gale. She will be singing and doing voiceovers for the new animated movie, “Dorothy of Oz.” The movie is based on the book written by Roger Baum, the great grandson of the original writer of “The Wizard of Oz,” L. Frank Baum. The book is based on Dorothy returning to Oz to find her friends, scarecrow, tin man and the cowardly lion are nowhere to be found.

Michele is in good company with this movie because other well known actors will be lending their voices to the movie as well. These actors include Kelsey Grammer as the tin man, Dan Aykroyd as the scarecrow and Jim Belushi as the lion. Martin Short will lend his voice as the new character, the jester, who is Dorothy’s new nemesis.
