Pop star Ashanti stars as Dorothy, who lives in Kansas with her Auntie Em (Queen Latifah) while dreaming of success as a singer in Hollywood. Her wishes just might come true when a tornado whisks her away to the magical land of Oz, where she hears about a great wizard who can grant your greatest desires. Along with an unusual gang of misfits--the Scarecrow (Kermit the Frog), the Tin Thing (Gonzo), and the Cowardly Lion (Fozzie Bear)--she sets off to find the Wizard. But before she gets there, she'll have to contend with the jealous and overbearing Wicked Witch of the West (Miss Piggy). THE MUPPETS WIZARD OF OZ takes a classic tale and emphasizes the fun and comedic elements, as the Muppets always do. [More]

It’s not on a par with the Muppet movie madness of old, but it’s darn close.

We're a long way from the creative energy, heart, and charm of Henson's Muppet movies, even though I'm not ready for the Henson Company to stop trying.

When you dig down and actually find (and watch) the new Muppet material, some of the magic is still there.

Something’s gone horribly wrong at Muppet Central, and it’s high time somebody fix it.
