Trivia:
When Kermit the Frog meets the Wizard of Oz he says "Hello Mr Oz. Are you any relation to Frank Oz?" This is an in-joke as Frank Oz was one of the real-life Muppeteers, best known for voicing the part of Miss Piggy. moreGoofs:

This is easily the worst of the Muppets films. No Frank Oz which means Miss Piggy and Fozzie sound exactly the same! Good effort on the voices but they just miss. The whole feel of the film is tired with no high points. The early films captured children and adults alike with their humour, something Jim Henson did very well. This does his vision no justice. As for the casting of Ashanti, well I'm afraid she's no actress, her performance is strained and at times uncomfortable to watch. The final 20 minutes will be a real test of your staying power, it's as though they ran out of steam and just needed to pad out the time.Show your children the first Muppet Movie or the 'real' Wizard of Oz and enjoy the magic.
