This movie was awful, but there are a lot of racists in this forum...


Race was NOT the issue with this film... Dorothy being black was not an issue (though I thought the actress was awful).

I will say R&B and Rap should NEVER be in a Muppet film... NEVER! You can have some Jazz, some soul, but at it's core it has to be semi-Musical Theater to work...

I don't want to sound like some of the racists I've heard on here, but just because you have racial diversity in the cast it doesn't mean you have to create a film that is entirely centered on "the ghetto" with R&B/Rap music... I found this to be slightly offensive actually.

You just can't have a rapping Kermit (and that annoying ass Prawn as Toto, uhg?!) and expect anyone to keep watching...
