I was really disappointed with this one. This movie has an unnessecary focus on sexuality--Toto is always exclaiming how "sexy" he is, Dorothry's dream is to be a glamourus, sexy, singing sensation, Miss Piggy's act as the wicked witch of the west has a blatant S & M attributes. Sure it all turns out alright in the end when Dorothy realizes that family is what's really important in life. However, in my experience, children of the target age group may not discern between simultaneous positive and negative messages and often remember and reenact the most fantastic ones. Guess which messages are the most memforable in this movie...

What Parents Need to Know
About Best of the Muppets featuring The Muppets' Wizard of Oz
Parents need to know that only six of the songs on the CD are from Oz; the other nine are also entertaining, but you may have heard them a lot already.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the music styles on this CD versus the original movie. Listen to Ashanti singing the Wizard of Oz tunes, then play the Judy Garland classics and compare the styles, lyrics, and musicianship. What makes a song sound "old" or "new"?
