What Parents Need to Know
About The Muppets' Wizard of Oz
Parents need to know that this Muppet caper operates on two levels, with numerous gags that mainly adults will understand. The movie includes mischevious references to R-rated movies (Kill Bill, Passion of the Christ) and pretty far-out rock and roll, like the legend that Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" album has been used as an "alternative soundtrack" to the 1939 Wizard of Oz with trippy results.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the fact that a human actor -- Ashanti -- is in the main role, rather than Kermit or some other Muppet. Was it as entertaining as other Muppet movies, where the puppets are center stage? How well did this version work, compared to other versions of the L. Frank Baum classic?

Good for 9 and up
I was shocked to find some bad stuff in a Muppet film! Lots of the word sexy and in one scene one of the characters says "I didn't know how hard it would be to find an all American girl and Rizzo replies "Yeah, how do the producers of Girls Gone Wild do it?" Other slight innuendos.One curse word.Rizzo says, somebody's going to get b**ch slapped.

Why change the original story?
My daughter (7) and my son (4) sat down with some popcorn along with my husband and I to watch this movie. We were looking forward to a "feel good" movie because we are really fond of the Judy Garland version of OZ. Instead we got a very different version and we were really appalled when Miss Piggy shows up in tight leather biker pants as the Wicked Witch of the West and orders that they shred Kermit. Her goons popped off Kermit's head and trounced his body so violently that both of my children became quite upset. Camilla the chicken, Gonzo's love, was so sexy near the end of the movie along with the Barry White sexy clip that I was embarrassed for my children to be watching it with me. I almost turned it off completely. I am very disappointed. It was not an innocent 'G' movie!
