The Singer Midgets played the Munchkins in "The Wizard of Oz."
Specifically, Viennese businessman and entertainer Leopold von Singer (May 3, 1877 - March 5, 1951) formed a troupe of diminutive performers whom he recruited throughout Europe and then the United States of America. He gave them all eminently employable skills as acrobats, dancers, singers and wrestlers. He therefore had no problems getting them jobs playing the diminutive Munchkins of the land of Oz.

Many children actually played as munchkins in The Wizard of Oz. If you look very closley in the Munchkin Land scenes, you can see that some munchkins look to be much younger and smaller than the actual midgits.

L. Frank Baum wrote the original Wonderful Wizard of Oz which included the Munchkins. Screenplay writers of the Wizard of Oz, Noel Langley and Florence Ryerson adapted the characters into the theatrical production.
Wizard made the film scene in l939. The Muppets did not exist at that time. Munchkins are associated with Oz but not Muppets.
