Abby in Wonderland poofs onto DVD September 30

[JEANYLASER]

I can't wait to see it on dvd!

I'm not watching unless Big Bird's in it. I hope he makes a cameo or something. It's hard to believe Mr. Spinney can perform Oscar for this, and not Big Bird.

Oh well. Maybe he'll narrate like you guys said.

 

[Drtooth]

I'd say that Big Bird wouldn't really fit into this special... but then again, neither did most of the choices. Oscar makes sense, but the others wwere creative casting. Not, of course, that it's a bad thing.

 

[The Count]

Yeah... If Oscar's gonna be part of the royal family, then why not have him as the King or Grouch King of Hearts and Grundgetta as the Queen? And who knows, maybe Big B could be the Griffin or a friendly version of the Jabberwock. Then again, it was the weirdest sketch they ever did... Even when you know what it's about you still don't know what it's about.
Cue the Jabberwock Sketch!

 

[Super Scooter]

"'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

*burble burble. burble burble*

One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

*galumph galumph galumph galumph*

"And has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe."

: "I tell you, that's the weirdest thing we've ever done on this show!"

Anyhoo, Big Bird as the Jabberwock would be kind of funny! Though, the Griffin sounds more like it. I don't know, though. I really don't think the Griffin would be featured in the movie.

*crosses fingers and hopes BB's in the special*
