Editorial Reviews: Amazon.com You don't fool with Mother Nature, spit into the wind, remake Casablanca, or trash the land of Oz. Perhaps that is why the 1985 live-action sequel split critics and audiences alike. The 1939 classic musical is so beloved that it's almost impossible to imagine seeing Dorothy in shock therapy, a crumbled yellow brick road, the ruins of Emerald City, and the Tin Man turned into stone. But L. Frank Baum, the author of the original Oz books, portrayed just that with his continuing stories of Dorothy. When you get by these tough facts, the film version is solid entertainment for the over-7 set. Dorothy (a 10-year-old Fairuza Balk in her debut) is back in Kansas, where Aunt Em (Piper Laurie) is at the end of her rope: her niece is not sleeping and going on about a place called Oz. Therapy may be the answer, but luckily the scary clinic goes dark before Dorothy can be, er, cured (but the lead-up will scare the munchkins out of most kids). She wakes up in the land of Oz, now in tatters, and searches for its king, the Scarecrow. A new set of friends, including a tin soldier, a talking chicken, and a pumpkin man, help her against new villains, including Princess Mombi (Jean Marsh)--complete with a set of detachable heads--and the evil Nome King (Nicol Williamson with a great assist from Will Vinton's Claymation). The sole directorial effort of Oscar-winning editor Walter Murch is stuffed with marvelous effects that foreshadow later works by Tim Burton and the Henson non-Muppet films. --Doug Thomas Product Description RETURN TO OZ

For starters, let's talk about the characters. Dorothy is younger in this movie, which is confusing. However, she is the only cute thing about the movie. The hen, pumpkin, robot, and the moose are like pre-school characters, which would be fine for a kid's movie,but once you meet the wheelers and the princess, you would think the movie had been transformed into a horror flick. For example, Dorothy enters a room with women's heads (only their heads) stuck into glass cabinets, and they all begin screaming. Then a beheaded woman begins to chase Dorothy, and that is quite enough for us. This movie is nothing like the Wizard of Oz. DO NOT WATCH IT. Awesome August 22, 2010 Chels This movie is so amazing. Everyone should see this movie It arrived quickly which was great :) OZ has returned August 4, 2010 JRB III My wife loved this movie but she had it on VHS and it had just worn out due to age and over play. A couple of weeks ago she went to watch it and the movie was a mess so, to surprise her I ordered one on DVD. I was very empressed with how fast it arrived in the mail. She arrived home before me and found the DVD package, of course we had to watch it that night. The quality was great and she is happy. So, thank you very much for the effort and on time delivery. You never send it to me i paid 28 dollars for nothing July 30, 2010 Erika 0 out of 4 found this review helpful You have a very bad service i paid for my movie and you never send it to me, please return me the money, i don't want it. Got here on time... I just didn't know it... July 20, 2010 Paul Peloquin 0 out of 1 found this review helpful So I can't fault the business for not getting my hands on the product when I was supposed to. It was in my mailbox, but i thought it would be coming to my door as deliveries often do when you're in an apartment with a small mailbox. Anyways, Enjoyed the movie, lots of childhood fun to be had.
