Product Description
Contemporary version of the classic movie based on the novel by L. Frank Baum. Dorothy Gale (Ashanti) is a teenager with dreams of showbiz that seem far from coming true in the Kansas trailer park where she lives. When she's transported to the magical land of Oz, she and her sidekick, Toto (Pepe the King Prawn - voice of Bill Barretta), join forces with the Scarecrow (Kermit the Frog - voice of Steve Whitmire), the Tin Thing (Gonzo - voice of Dave Goelz) and the Lion (Fozzie Bear - voice of Erik Jacobson) to fight the Wicked Witch of the West (Miss Piggy - voice of Erik Jacobson) and find the wizard who might make her a star.

Format:DVD
Although not in the same class as the likes of The Muppet Christmas Carol [DVD] and Muppet Treasure Island [DVD], this is nonetheless a lot of fun, with all the favourite muppets represented and plenty of killer lines.
The story is basically the same as the original MGM musical, and despite some dire songs the movie manages to entertain throughout.

I'm generally a big fan of the Muppet movies, with the possible exception of Treasure Island, and was looking forward to this, but was sadly disappointed when I got it. This is more a star vehicle for Ashanti than the Muppet's, who barely appear for the first twenty minutes of the film. This is a weak attempt at modernising a classic movie, the performances of the cast are fairly poor, as is the story, and you'd be far better off re-watching one of the older Muppet films than bothering with this one.

This is a poor adaptation. The Muppets themselves are quite entertaining in places (with the exception of Miss Piggy as the hopelessly unscary biker-witch), but Ashanti is a very... Read more

Disappointing
Made the mistake of thinking this would be as good as the 'Muppets Christmas carole' It is not, it is shallow, and poorly done.
