Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, the Great Gonzo, Fozzie Bear, and other classic Muppet characters are back, joining R&B singer Ashanti in the new Wonderful World of Disney movie The Muppets' Wizard of Oz.

Set to debut May 20 on ABC as part of The Wonderful World of Disney, The Muppets' Wizard of Oz brings back the classic Muppets characters in a retelling of L. Frank Baum's classic tale The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Singer Ashanti plays the role of Dorothy, while classic characters from the Muppets, including Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Gonzo, play other characters who help Dorothy make her way to see the Wizard of Oz. However, this retelling of the classic tale will feature new surprises and new plot twists.
