I'll agree that I had a weirdly big fascination of this movie as a kid but it took awhile to get over the scene where Kermit was ripped apart as the scarecrow and seeing his severed head begging the flying monkey's to stop what they're doing to everyone else. (Ontop of them just panning away with him and Gonzo's lifeless bodies after it all)
I knew literally nothing about Muppets before you started doing these videos, but I saw this one on TV once as a kid and the only thing I remembered was that joke at 1:02
Bro. You need to give me at least a day to watch your last muppets video 3 times (once passively while dishwashing, once half paying attention while eating, and finally once while im tucked in bed paying full attention, enraptured and jealous of your craftsmenship) before releasing another one LET ME SAVOR DAMN YOU
I’m not sure why but I think an Elmo in Grouchland would be kinda perfect for this channel since we are now in the Junko Muppet epoc. Or that time they got the Mighty Mighty bosstones to be on the movie “Elmopalooza”. I was babysitting at the time and was completely gobsmacked when I heard one of my favorite bands on a kid show
this was one of my first dvds as a kid and i loved it lmao. i never watched the original wizard of oz until at least a decade later and all i could think about was the jokes from this one
Personally aside from _Muppets from Space,_ this was the weakest Muppet film and Ashanti as Dorothy was completely a very selfish and self-absorbed character in the film and it didn’t feel like A Wizard of Oz twist if the Muppets. Not only would I love to see a more much better adaptation of _The Wizard of Oz_ featuring the Muppets and a better actress cast for Dorothy than the 2005 TV film we end up getting, but I love to see more Muppet films in other Literary adaptations of famous classic stories in the vein of _Muppet Christmas Carol_ and _Muppet Treasure Island_ like _The Three Musketeers, Alice in Wonderland,_ etc..
Alice and wonderland would be perfect for the muppets. My one caveat with such a project would be that most of the wonderland cast should be original creations, in the vain of Muppets Christmas carrel. Characters like the Mad Hatter, or Queen of Harts, would be fine as established characters. But with creatures like the Cheshire cat, or the Caterpillar, I would love to see muppet work shop make them from the ground up.
@@forrestdupre87 But that’s on the Muppet Show and frankly I wouldn’t rule out an Actual _Muppets in Wonderland_ film in the vein of _Muppet Christmas Carol_ and _Muppet Treasure Island_ Besides before Muppets Wizard of Oz, their were many references to the Wizard of Oz via _The Muppets Go to the Movies_ and even _The Muppet Babies_ had a segment or song referencing _The Wizard of Oz_ As for _James and the Giant Peach_ that would be difficult as it would require additional permission from the Roald Dahl estate and his family.
Seriously, NO, I don't think this movie is weird at all. This came out when me and my sister were in our teens and we loved this film. For three reasons. First, it was actually a good retelling of The Wizard of Oz, and pretty faithful to the book. Second, it was a Muppet's movie. And Third, because it was funny. I honestly felt and feel now that this was a good movie and the Muppets did well by making this and continuing the incredible legacy of The Wizard of Oz in their own way. All the jokes felt right considering that this was the Muppets playing as the characters of this classic story. It also rounded out the classic Muppet Story full length movies: The Muppet Christmas Carol, Muppet Treasure Island, and The Muppets Wizard of Oz, thus, completing the trilogy. Ashanti also gave a great performance on this clever new take on Dorothy with a twist which feels right again in a Muppet's movie. I actually recommend this to people who want to see a Wizard of Oz movie that follows the book properly and is pretty funny.
I remember as a kid enjoying this movie a lot, but had no idea Quentin was even in it but I think that makes me this movie even more funnier, it's like they just let him improvise and do whatever the hell he wanted on set. He looked like he was having a blast.
Y’know what I’m betting….i am definitely betting that during the muppets being owned by Jim Henson company. I am definitely beginning to have a distinctive feeling that the Jim Henson Creature workshop were the one’s behind that oz cgi considering how…..a taaaad bit similar it sorta looks with Waldo from Jim Henson hour…or sid the science kid. It’s hard to say.
I've seen multiple of the muppet movies multiple times and I've even got a burning hot take on swamp years but I've only seen this one once and I'll probably never watch it again besides reviewing it in the future
There certainly would have been fewer complaints about the movie's horniness if Gonzo practically kooming over the CGI chicken was cut. I also think that Miss Piggy would have been better as Dorothy. Then, Foo-Foo could have been Toto.
I remember seeing this once on abc family when I was little and never again. I’ve always been curious about it but I’m glad I didn’t grow up on it. Probably would have fucked me up
Not to mention working on something that is Friendly Friendly since the majority of his films are not only R-Rated but have lots of violence and blood.
Many of the scenes were from straight out of the book like the Tin Man’s backstory, the field mice, the green glasses, the different forms of the Wizard, and The Wicked Witch’s cap and “magic eye and even The Scarecrow’s “ bran new brains” joke.
If you haven't, check out Meet the Feebles directed by Peter Jackson. It's probably the closest thing to "muppet Pulp Fiction." It's trashy but unexpectedly charming sometimes? It's unlike anything else I've seen.
Well I’ll give Ashanti credit. At least she didn’t pull a Janet Jackson before Muppets Wizard Of Oz got broadcast whether if the movie was good or not😐
It may be mediocre by Muppet standards, but it could be much worse. At least it ain’t Studio DC. Plus, it’s much more accurate to the Oz lore and canon than the MGM film.
"Appropriate and enjoyable for everyone" may I introduce you to Muppets: Sex and Violence? or their time on SNL? or the funny but what could be dark if real world of their old coffee commercials, and sam and friends where they would die or be blown up(still funny and enjoyable just not technically Appropriate)
This was one of The Muppets movies I grew up watching, and considering how conservative my parents are that is one of the great mysteries of the world.
older conservative people absolutely LOVE the wizard of Oz and its simple morals, not really surprising they would pick it up not knowing how fuckin weird it is and weren't intune with pop culture enough to know what the jokes were even implying
When I first saw this I had mixed feelings about it but after rereading the book I was shocked by how much source material they used. It includes scenes most other versions leave out and made Oz more realistic.
the Tarantino scene is the only good part of the movie, the rest is pretty boring, standard and needlessly strange, I also really didn't like a lot of the music in this one.
Alright since you're covering the TV movies I expect you to cover the holiday classic "It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie" which ALSO HAD A VHS RELEASE otherwise you're a coward.
@@YungJunko ahhh makes sense, that one to me is the peak of Muppets from the aughts, it hits both very unhinged energy but still very sweet and sentimental as the Muppets should be
That 'dark side of the moon' joke got me.
You could really tell this was a project that started production with the previous owners of the Muppets and Disney were stuck finishing it
I'll agree that I had a weirdly big fascination of this movie as a kid but it took awhile to get over the scene where Kermit was ripped apart as the scarecrow and seeing his severed head begging the flying monkey's to stop what they're doing to everyone else.

That was in the book.
Tarantino meant to say the girls got their feet out
And to think, this is the final Muppet film to have any involvement from the Jim Henson Company.
When she got that early 2000s CGI rizz 😰
😳😳😳😳
Knowing Tarantino and his love of all things feet, is his involvement in this really all this shocking?
The fact that this is hornier than The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence…
I knew literally nothing about Muppets before you started doing these videos, but I saw this one on TV once as a kid and the only thing I remembered was that joke at 1:02

Yup, that really got me 😂
I don’t think I could make it through a day without YungJunko Muppet content.
I’m not sure why but I think an Elmo in Grouchland would be kinda perfect for this channel since we are now in the Junko Muppet epoc. Or that time they got the Mighty Mighty bosstones to be on the movie “Elmopalooza”. I was babysitting at the time and was completely gobsmacked when I heard one of my favorite bands on a kid show

For me, Quentin Tarantino is the only thing that saves this movie.
I did not expect him to be in A MUPPET MOVIE?!
Have you read the book?

I have missed the Junko songs so much; I'm glad it made a comeback here and with one of my favorite rap songs from back in high school xD

I still haven't forgotten about Gonzo's nipples

I was almost convinced that I gaslit myself into thinking this movie existed.
I’ll just wait for this arc to catch up with my actual Muppet history starting point (which is the 2011 film)
Why are all your voice overs of characters so on point😅
There certainly would have been fewer complaints about the movie's horniness if Gonzo practically kooming over the CGI chicken was cut. I also think that Miss Piggy would have been better as Dorothy. Then, Foo-Foo could have been Toto.
My Gf showed her elementary school students this movie last week 💀
That probably wasn't a good idea
I remember seeing this once on abc family when I was little and never again. I’ve always been curious about it but I’m glad I didn’t grow up on it. Probably would have fucked me up
I seem to be the only one who's noticed that this movie is an allegory for fame and Hollywood.
Tarantino collaborating with the muppets is still something that shocks me.😊
Not to mention working on something that is Friendly Friendly since the majority of his films are not only R-Rated but have lots of violence and blood.
@@EChaconperhaps he was attracted how freaking bizarre this film was
@@BugsyFoga
Probably, also all the close up shoots of Ashanti's feet
You should review Stuart Little sometime
What, Ashanti? I always thought it was Queen Latifah. Is this one of those Mandela's effect or whatever? Ow, my head hurts.

Queen Latina was Aunt Em.

This muppet content is peak
one of the muppet shows pilot episodes was called "muppets: sex and violence." i'm not joking.
4:38 huh, wonder if that really fits this version
2:19 Frank Oz wasn’t involved in this movie
Frank Oz was too busy voicing Yoda for Revenge of the Sith, when this movie was made
But the joke writes itself

5:55 literally the only thing I remember about this movie ...for better or worse
I literally never heard of this! But I swear I've seen that Ms Piggy outfit before...
I remember seeing promos for this on Disney channel.

At least it includes more scenes from the book.
Especially adapting how each member of the group seeing the wizard in a different form
@@thatonea-hole they even included the green glasses.
@@thatonea-hole I also think this is the best version of OZ by making it more realistic.

Unrelated but I just hate how the 1939 film has a monopoly on Oz adaptations made in the US
Loveing the vids about the muppets and psp and umds
Hope you review elmo in grouchland next.
i really scared of that
Call me weird but I quite enjoyed this one also. I know many hate it but I'd rather watch this over Kermit's Swamp Years.
Steve said he wasn't a fan of this.
"Starring" Quentin Tarantino...
I use to have this on bootleg dvd lol
Not making the Wizard of Oz in the Muppets, Wizard of Oz, frank Oz film truly makes it an 0 out of 10.

tin dark and handsome was my nickname in highschool
didn't even know this got a vhs
Good stuff
I never knew this one existed but know I know weird.
So then, who has tried dark side of the moon with this?
When you get to work with the Muppets u made it big time.
Love Ashanti in this and Queen and David.
