The Muppets are an acquired taste, but if you've liked any of their previous work this is one of their better ones. Some of the humor requires that you are familiar with the characters, other jokes require knowledge of the movie, and even better, the book. However even for a Muppet-newbie who's never heard of the Wizard of Oz this is an enjoyable film.
The team aimed higher than most of the previous outings by picking a well known, and loved, story. In my opinion they didn't miss the mark. I am not a real fan of Ashanti so the musical segments are a bit long for my taste, but the film overall contained relatively few clunkers. Like everyone else who has commented, the film is really stolen by Toto; by himself, he makes the film worth watching.
