Recasting Tezuka Characters

[Tetsuwan Penguin]

I've already done two fan fiction stories where I cast Tezuka characters (mostly from Astro Boy) in roles of characters from the Star Wars movies.
I'm working on the 'return of the Jedi' right now.

Anyway, today my wife and I went to see the play "The Wizard of Oz" and I couldn't help thinking which Tezuka characters I would put where in this story. I don't know if I'll try writing a Fan Fiction on this, since the result would be obvious, but here is the casting:

Uran as Dorothy Gale
Boon as Uncle Henry
Sapphire as Auntie Em
Madame Hell as Miss Gulch / the Wicked Witch of the West
Cobalt as the Scare Crow
Astro as the Tin Woodsman
Kimba as the Cowardly Lion
Epsilon (2003 version) as Glinda, the good witch of the north
Osmau Tezuka as Professer Marvel / The Wizard
The Micro Bears as the Wicked Witch's flying henchmen
Shunsuke Ban as the Doorman to the Emerald City
Jump as Toto


What do you think of this?

It sounds pretty interesting. I can totally see Astro as the Tin Woodsman and Jump as Toto.

Shunsaku Ban as the doorman holy crap (I almost swore) XD

I need to show this to my friend; she loves the Wizard of Oz- and knows more about it than I do...

[Earthshine]

This is perfect! I love the Wizard of Oz (and the original books). This just makes me start to wonder who would play some of the original characters that never even made it to the movie adaptation.

Shunsaku Ban as the doorman is just too perfect for words.

Shunsaku Ban as the doorman


One word: GENIUS.

[Windswept Cloak]

Cobalt as the Scare Crow

I can picture that pretty well XD

It's been a long while since I've last watched the wizard of oz. Who's the doorman? (Please don't hurt me.)

[Earthshine]

The doorman is the door keeper to the Emerald City gates, he was played by Frank Morgan and he also played the traveling psychic and the official summons to the wizard.

Bit part. That's the guy who opened the door at the gates of the Emerald City. He won't let the four of them in at first to see the wizard, until the wicked witch flies overhead demanding they surrender Dorothy. When the Tinman explains that Dorothy is with them, the doorman says "well, that's a horse of a different color!"

[tailz]

Ok, I can totally see why you chose Shunsaku Ban to play the role of the doorman. They look exactly alike!
