- A weird way to treat a children's classic, the result being a movie which appealed strongly to nobody except, possibly, the producer. The Disney people should have known better.

  Classic in its' own right!
  
  A classic children's film which rightfully deserves to be branded as such. Not to be compared with the original, this sequal sees Dorothy returning to a ... read more »

  I gave up with the film after 30 minutes...when it felt it had been on for at least 2 hours. Maybe unfair, but after starting to watch this and the remake of ... read more »

  Not for me....
  
  But personally I didn't like the Wizard of Oz.
  
  There are major flaws within this film right from the word go.

  People who say this pales in comparison to The Wizard Of Oz or lacks due to the fact that it's not a musical have clearly never read any of Frank L Baum'... read more »

  Don't be put off (or encouraged) by the original
  
  This film is nothing like it. A dark, dark film that, in true fairy tale fashion, loosely dresses its grim nature in glorious ornament.

  Lacking in Magic
  
  I loved the OZ books as a child and the first film is of course a classic, but as a movie this is somewhat disappointing. The effects look somewhat dated now ... read more »

  My fave film as a child
  
  This is such a good film, the idea is brilliant and the whole things is really magical. I think that it is a little scarey for small kids though
