Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

stenholmgabriel This is a fun Muppet take on the classic story. In this movie The Muppets take on The Wizard of Oz in a great parody that is both charming and smart. Ashanti plays Dorothy Gale a farm girl who dreams of becoming a singer. One day she is swept away to the magical land of Oz. Toto is here replaced by prawn played by Pepe the King Prawn. Rizzo the Rat plays the Mayor of Munchkinland and all the Munchkins are played by his rat family. Kermit the Frog plays the Scarecrow and he is great as Always (You can't help but like Kermit the Frog). The Great Gonzo is the Tin Man and Fozzie Bear is Cowardly Lion/Bear.This movie is closer to the book than the 1939 movie including elements like the wizard telling Dorothy to get the wicked witch of the west's magical eye rather than her broom and and there being four witches instead of three. Miss Piggy plays all the witches and she is one of the best parts of the movie.This is high-quality family entertainment.But what else can you expect from Disney.The film is full of clever jokes and lovable characters. This is a film that both young and old will like and can be rewatched many times. This movie comes highly recommended ! and look out for a surprise cameo.

avi-greene2 Whether you are a Muppet fan or not, this movie really isn't worth watching. I am not a huge Muppet fan nowadays, but I like to look back to my childhood years when I was one. I was 12 years old when I got this movie on DVD, and I only watched it one time when I was in 5th grade, and that was it. Now I don't have the movie anymore and I hated it so much for many reasons. First off, I really like Ashanti's song "Happy," but do I like it when she played Dorothy Gale? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was totally wrong to have African- Americans playing Dorothy and her family! Secondly, instead of a dog playing Toto, they have Pepe play that part, and he is a SHRIMP, not a dog! Third, it was an absolutely STUPID idea to have Dorothy become a singer, and not to mention the soundtrack of this version of Wizard of Oz is awful! I would highly recommend to everyone who is a Muppet fan, and everyone who is not, to pass on this stupid Muppets' Wizard of Oz movie, because everything about this film really ruins the Judy Garland Wizard of Oz legend from 1939. The Judy Garland movie is way better than this.

frankfob I don't think anyone expected this Muppet remake of the classic Judy Garland movie to be better than the original, or even as good as the original. But I don't think anyone expected it to be this far below it, either.I like the Muppets, and I'm not a kid. I saw "The Great Muppet Caper" not too long ago, and I actually enjoyed it, and I watched the old Muppet TV show regularly. So I figured that a remake of the "Wizard of Oz", Muppet-style, would be enjoyable. Brother, was I wrong.There are a host of problems with this film. To begin with, there's Ashanti. Her, to put it gently, "inexperience" as an actress shows in every frame. The best you can say for her is that she's bland. She has virtually no chemistry with the other performers--even Jeffrey Tambor in his relatively small on screen time clicks with them far better than she does--she doesn't dance very well (or, thankfully, very often) and while she sings OK, the songs are about as colorless as her performance, although one of them somehow wound up with an Emmy nomination. The script is weak, many of the jokes are lame, the CGI effects are mediocre--as another poster has mentioned, they should gone with Muppets instead of the cheesy CGI characters--and what in God's name is Quentin Tarantino doing in it? David Alan Grier is amusing and makes the most of what little time he has, and Queen Latifah seems a bit more at ease than she usually is, but overall this is the weakest of all the Muppet movies I've seen.

sweavo There are about 3 good jokes in this. Ashanti can't act.The photography and special effects are bad and the writing is nowhere near normal Muppet standards. Some of the chemistry is still there between the puppets but apart from a few high points, it's one to watch while sleeping off Xmas dinner.Because IMDb has a 10 line minimum I have to think of something more to say but I really feel I said it all. Go and watch the original Muppet Show, or the Muppets Christmas Carol instead.
