"Everyone's Favorite Story Becomes One Twisted Tale."

  • Director: Kirk R Thatcher
  • Genre: Family, Comedy, Adventure, Music, Fantasy, TV Movie
  • Studio: The Jim Henson Company
  • Duration: 85 Mins

Overview:
The Muppets make their least convincing foray into classic literature with an update that seems closer in tone to Sidney Lumet's The Wiz than MGM's peerless 1939 adaptation. Ashanti interacts well enough with Kermit's Scarecrow, Fozzie's Cowardly Lion and Gonzo's "Tin Thing", while Miss Piggy makes a splendidly hammy Wicked Witch. But the peppering of the dialogue with unsuitably grown-up gags seems as ill-judged as the excess of decidedly mediocre songs. Equally perplexing is the guest appearance of Quentin Tarantino.
