| USA | 88 MINUTES | EnglishLions and tigers…and Muppets? In this fun, contemporary take on a family classic, Dorothy Gale is a teenager with dreams of showbiz that seem far from coming true in the Kansas trailer park where she lives. When she's transported to the magical land of Oz, she and her sidekick, Pepe the King Prawn as Toto, join the Scarecrow, the Tin Thing, and the Lion to fight the Wicked Witch of the West and find the Wizard who might make her a star.
