Wizard of Oz

Pros: flawless acting, great cast, entertaining music and awesome special effects
Cons: none at all

I grew up watching the Wizard of Oz with our beloved Dorothy (Judy Garland) and all her zany friends. It was a picture filled with action, innocence and fun! Fun for the whole family! The story begins with Dorothy running home from school trying ...

Cons: None I've yet to see, though some might think it dated

A young girl, with beautiful, warm and vibrant dreams. Believing in the wonderful world around her; a world filled with sharp and soft colors, fragrances and sounds. Rainbows. The rainbow is dreams. The Wizard of Oz, an American dream, inspired by...

Pros: Everything!
Cons: None.

It is my Junior year in High School, 1991, and our School is doing the production of the Wizard of Oz- I am elated! Watching it EVERY year while growing up, I came to love Dorothy and would dream that the land of Oz truly exsisted if I wished hard...

Pros: Come on now. We're talking about The Wizard of Oz here!
Cons: You tell me.

L. Frank Baum's classic children's story comes to life in what is most likely the world's most beloved film. It has earned that distinction by charming generation after generation, thanks to numerous re-releases and annual TV broadcasts. It's one of...

Pros: Great for the entire family
Cons: None

The Wizard of Oz is one of my all time favorite movies. When I was growing up, it was televised once a year and it was a big occasion for the whole family to gather around to watch it while eating popcorn and other special snacks.

...

Pros: story, songs, acting, everything
Cons: nothing!

I have recently rewatched this 1939 classic and couldn't help laughing and singing along once again. It is so much fun for kids as well as adults because it was made for all the kids all over the world who have enjoyed L. Frank Baum's many books about...

Pros: Good children's fantasy story with some life lessons
Cons: Can scare young viewers

Our family watched the Wizard of Oz every year when it came on television! Some of my family members still imitate the characters in the movie - yup, we're nuts.

This story is a true classic, starring Judy Garland in the...

Pros: That lovely little girl has a thrilling voice.
Cons: I'm more confused about Australia than ever.

Olivia Newton-John, that great Australian singer actress, has accepted the part of Amneris in my new theatrical extravaganza, Aida on Ice, which will shortly tour to an ice rink near you. Her first rehearsal with us is later this week so I felt a...

Pros: Incredible colour, wonderful songs
Cons: Scary for kids

These days it seems the news is only getting worse and worse. Apart from the miracle of Elizabeth Smart, the news is grim and depressing. So I decided to take a nostalgic journey over the rainbow back to my childhood when I didn't have to worry about...

Pros: Every single thing.
Cons: Not a one.

With recent showings of 1939's The Wizard of Oz peppering the television, I finally gave in and watched one a few nights ago. Not having seen it in close to 10 years, I was amazed at how much I still enjoyed it. Everything about this film is ...

Pros: Great Music, Fantastic Plot, Great Color
Cons: Nothing

It is hard to imagine any movie made today that can hold as many audiences and remain as important and significant today as The Wizard of Oz has had for over sixty years. So many movies have come and gone, yet every year The Wizard of Oz makes yet...

Pros: Fabulous cast, fabulous production, and memorable for all time
Cons: I still need to find out about the Southern Witch, and nightmares that still plague me

I don't intend to bash a world acclaimed classic. THE WIZARD OF OZ can't be judged by today's standards. Compared to movies made now, this movie made in 1939 seems pretty tame, and fairly innocuous. Dorothy, the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion are...

Pros: Iconic film. Brilliant restorations--1999 slightly more detail; 2005: more color and extras.
Cons: 2005 transfer may be *too* colorful/contrasted, occasionally compromising detail/sharpness. Slight soundtrack alterations.

The following review appeared at a different epinions location which eventually seemed buried--never receiving details, price comparisons, nor other reviews, and finally losing the DVD cover photo. I relocated to this more appropriate URL--and took the ...

Pros: The wonderful performance of Judy Garland
Cons: Absolutely NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Wizard Of Oz (1939) is now well over sixty years old, yet the classic film still stands extraordinarily well, reaching generation after generation (and has also become a firm T.V favourite at Christmas). Its transistion to the DVD format is ...

Pros: fun for all the family, a timeless classic
Cons: none

I bought this DVD today because in Woolworths, they were offering it for £5.99 for a DVD or £2.99 for the VHS, with any other purchase. As Im always up for a bargain, I purchased this new addition to my or should I say my sons collection! Wizard of Oz ...
