Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Join Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and all the Muppets as they turn everyone's favorite classic 1939 tale into a musical, madcap adventure that shines brighter than Emerald City. The fun starts when the Muppets team up with an all-star cast that includes Grammy Award winner Ashanti, Oscar(R) nominee Queen Latifah, David Alan Grier, Academy Award(R) winner Quentin Tarantino, and Jeffrey Tambor of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. Ashanti sparkles as Dorothy, an aspiring singer whose dreams of fame and fortune seem worlds away from coming true in the Kansas trailer park where she lives with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. But when a tornado transports her and Toto (Pepe the King Prawn she can't afford a dog) to the magical land of Oz, Dorothy meets the Wizard, who promises to make her a superstar -- if she and her wacky new friends, the Scarecrow (Kermit), the Tin Thing (Gonzo), and the Cowardly Lion (Fozzie), can defeat Oz's diabolical diva, the Wicked Witch of the West (Miss Piggy).
