Join Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and all the Muppets as they turn everyone's favorite classic tale into a musical madcap adventure that shines brighter than Emerald City! The fun starts when the Muppets team up with an all-star cast that includes Grammy Award winner Ashanti, Oscar(R) nominee Queen Latifah (2002, Best Supporting Actress, CHICAGO), David Alan Grier, Academy Award(R) winner Quentin Tarantino (1994, Best Original Screenplay, PULP FICTION), and Jeffrey Tambor. Ashanti sparkles as Dorothy, an aspiring singer whose dreams of fame and fortune seem worlds away from coming true in the Kansas trailer park where she lives with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. But when a tornado transports her and Toto (Pepe the King Prawn) to the magical land of Oz, Dorothy meets the Wizard, who promises to make her a superstar -- if she and her wacky new friends, the Scarecrow (Kermit), the Tin Thing (Gonzo), and the Cowardly Lion(Fozzie), can defeat Oz's #1 diabolical diva, the Wicked Witch of the West (Miss Piggy)! Featuring original music, hilarious performances, and 20 minutes of never-before-seen footage, THE MUPPETS' WIZARD OF OZ will lift your spirits and blow you away!

Love it!

This is a cute spin off! Alot of adult humor and it is funny & cute.

good re-make

i bought this after my son saw the original wizard of oz on tv. i didn't want to spend the 24$ on the real one. this was definitely a good second choice.... it was cute and a well made re-make of the movie.

Not that bad

The latest entry in the Muppets franchise is probably the Henson family's last attempt to make the Muppets "cool" and "modern". Numerous parts of this movie seem contrived solely to make it appeal to the MTV generation. This includes the casting of Ashanti and Queen Latifah as the principal human roles, the cameo of Quentin Tarantino, the strong stereotypical Mexican accent by Toto, and the totally out-of-place CGI scene with Gonzo and the chicken. All of these distract from the movie. But what stays true to the franchise is the Muppets sense of ridiculous humor and witty dialogue. Whether it be Scooter's appearance as the Wizard's secretary, to Beaker's disappearing head, the roles of the muppets themselves were great. And the scene in Poppyfields is sure to draw laughs from crowds of all ages. Overall, I expected better, but not by much.
