The Muppets' Wizard of Oz is a 2005 Made-for-TV Movie adaption of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, with The Muppets. Staring Ashanti as Dorothy Gale, Kermit as the Scarecrow, The Great Gonzo as the Tin Man (here called Tin Thing), Fozzie Bear as The Cowardly Lion, Pepe the Prawn as Toto, and Miss Piggy as the witches of the East, North (Tattypoo), West, and South (Glinda). Despite many changes to suit the Muppet cast, it is actually more faithful to the book in some places than the classic film.Dorothy lives in Kansas and works as a waitress for her Aunt Em's diner. She dreams of becoming a famous singer, but one day, a tornado whisks her and her pet prawn to the land of Oz. The denizens tell Dorothy that the Wizard of Oz could make her dreams come true. On her way, she makes friends with the Muppets, who each have a desire for the Wizard to grant. When they meet the Wizard, he gives them a task to do before he can help them: defeat the Wicked Witch of the West.Notable as the first Muppet production after Disney bought the franchise the previous year, though it had a largely negative critical reception, and Disney hasn't attempted any further literary adaptations starring The Muppets. Followed by A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa in 2008. | |

Darker and Edgier: The movie definitely has traces of this compared not only to other Muppet productions, but to other Oz productions as well. The scene where the Flying Monkeys rip apart the Scarecrow and the Tin Thing is probably one of the most disturbing scenes in any Muppet movie. | |

The Cameo In the uncut version, Dorothy steps into Dr. Honeydew's Makeover Machine to try on a punk look, and comes out played by Kelly Osbourne. Quentin Tarantino appears in a Cutaway Gag to tell Kermit some plans he thought up for the fight between Dorothy and the Wicked Witch of the West. | |

Sweet and Sour Grapes | |
| The Muppets' Wizard of Oz / int_45d22aad | comment |
Sweet and Sour Grapes: Dorothy eventually realizes that she shouldn't value fame and fortune more than family, so she goes back home to Kansas. Then, she accepts an offer from the Muppets to go on tour with them, subsequently leaving her family again. Although, they imply that Dorothy will do a better job keeping in touch with her family than she did in Oz. In the end, she realized it wasn't really so much fame and fortune she was after, it was simply being able to have a life for herself as a singer (much like Kermit wanting to sing and dance and make people happy in The Muppet Movie); at the same time, Aunt Em tells Dorothy that she's realized that even though she may not be with her and Uncle Henry in person, she'll always be with them in their hearts, which is why Aunt Em finally lets loose the reins, since she had been overbearing with her at the beginning of the movie. | |

Before The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, Queen Latifah played Dorothy in her high school's play of The Wiz. After The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, David Alan Grier played the Wiz in the 2006 La Jolla Playhouse production, Ashanti portrayed Dorothy in a 2009 Off-Broadway New York City Center performance, and Queen Latifah and Grier respectively played the Wiz and the Cowardly Lion in the 2015 NBC telecast. | |

| The Muppets' Wizard of Oz / int_e8497e34 | comment |
Adaptation Species Change: Toto is a king prawn instead of a dog. Justified, since after Dorothy ends up in Oz, Toto is played by Pepe. Pre-tornado, he's an actual prawn in a goldfish bowl. In the book, one of the Wizard's forms is a hairy, rhino-faced monster with five eyes and ten limbs. Here, his monster form is simply a dragon. Averted with the Cowardly Lion: he's still a lion, even though his "actor", Fozzie, is a bear. | |

Out Sick: The reason why the witch sends the Flying Monkeys instead of the Angry Bees is because the bees have stomach flu. | |

Shown Their Work: The movie includes a lot of references to Oz trivia that come from the books and not from the MGM movie. Most notably, the name of the Good Witch of the North, Tattypoo, is taken from the Ruth Plumly Thompson book The Giant Horse of Oz, which was the twenty-second Oz book. | |
