Thanks for the added character info. According to PHDSwing who was here early this year and hasn't been heard from since, who worked on MWoO, Rizzo will be the Mayor of the Munchkin Rats.

I'm really surprised Rizzo had such a tiny role in this. I always thought that the rats were the funniest Muppet "whatnot animal" group, and so I believe that in the next Muppet film their role should be greatly expanded.

Rizzo had a fair sized role. He showed up 2 more times in the movie to delivery great lines. Also, Steve plays Rizzo and Kermit, so it is tough to have them together.

Yes, but in MTI he did both, who both had big roles and were seperate form each other, and it worked really well.
I love Rizzo, and I was sad his part was smaller.

Yeah, but in the WoO you can't really keep the Scarecrow out of the movie like you can Capt. Smollet. Besides, Rizzo was a munchkin they just naturally have smaller parts.

Oh, and I think Rizzo being am ain charact on MT is what kept Kermit out of the host position. I think if we are to have Kermit as a main character and host again Rizzo needs to take a back seat. He could be used mostly in comedy sketches and stuff on a new show, but I doubt we will see him and Kermit interact much without Steve doing a lot of dubbing.

Kermit was seen with Rizzo in one scene in MTI. Remember when Gonzo, Kermit and Rizzo camped out before they were attacked by the pirates?
