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.
October 16, 2008Of all the stupid things. I love the original muppets. We had a whole collection of the movies while I was growing up. IF you want a classic...you're looking in the wrong place. I'm a huge fan of the wizard of OZ as well...and this was so dumb.
If you're wanting to buy this for your kids...DONT! They have horrible "jokes" that are no where NEAR approprate for kids. This was a disgrace to the muppets. If you want a good muppet show, go back and get muppet treasure island, Hey Cinderella, The Frog prince, or the muppet movie. Trust me...and the other thousands of reviews, it's not even worth it.
September 29, 2008This is a cute spin off! Alot of adult humor and it is funny & cute.

Our children are totally ripped off with what Hollywood produces these days, and now they have shamed the infamous and beloved Muppets. NOT for children who you want to appreciate morals, clean comedy, or have any character at all.
June 26, 2008The 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.
