The Muppets' Wizard of Oz (2005 TV Movie)
1/10
This is a must to avoid

Warning: Spoilers
This movie was a complete waste of an hour and a half. While some of the other Muppet movies followed the book in at least some way, this film just decided to take the name and use barely anything from the original concept, of either the film or the book. The entire premise of the movie was changed, the voices of Miss Piggy and Fozzy sounded exactly the same (yes I know they are done by the same person but differentiate a little), Ashanti needs to find a new profession as she can neither sing nor act in this movie, and...there are no words. I am a true blue Wizard of Oz fan and a dedicated Muppet fan, but this movie was upsetting from the moment it opened with a music video until it ended with her singing AGAIN! The songs were hardly memorable and the audio was funky and it didn't allow you to hear everything that was said. Perhaps it was the theater, but I don't think so. One of the pluses of the movie was Pepe the Shrimp as Toto the Crawfish (have you had enough yet?) The only thing I can say is that you should not watch this movie unless there is absolutely nothing else on TV and you can't get a root canal.
