This movie is inappropriate for kids. Approximately five times characters refer to wanting to feel "sexy." There's also a cgi sequence that is overtly sexual and completely inappropriate. Recently Katy Perry received a lashing for her duet with Elmo, but that was mild compared to the cleavage that's shown here. Ashanti's acting and singing is horrible, and her quest to become a star is shallow. The usual lovable characters (muppets/WOZ) are forgettable. This Disney movie does not do the muppets justice. This movie seemed slow and we simply couldn't finish it. My son actually did like the shrimp instead of a dog as Toto because it was an original muppet character, and actually had a few funny scenes.
I want to make clear that this crap is a complete disgrace to Jim Henson. Shame on his kids, Brian and Lisa (?), and shame on Disney. Jim always took great pride in his work, ensuring that it was educational, fun, inspirational, and original. This movie is none of the above.
