Fantastic!
Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return is a kind of sequel to the original story, The Wizard of Oz. the story starts when Dorothy wakes up in her home in Kansas after the tornado hit. After only being there for a short time, Dorothy is swept back to Oz because of a distress call from her old friend Scarecrow. The message informed her that Oz is being taken over by the evil Jester, the younger brother of the Wicked Witch of the West. The Jester has stolen his sister's broomstick and is using it as a magic wand. He is devoted on destroying Oz and ruling over everyone by himself. It is up to Dorothy and her new friends, and of course Todo to stop the Jester and restore the life in Oz.First off, I would like to note that this movie is a musical. So if you are in to musicals this is a must see movie but if you are not, this movie may not interest you. I like the fact that all the characters pick up where they left off in the first movie. The cowardly lion is no longer a coward and the tin-man now has a heart and real emotions.
Our family loves everything about The Wizard of Oz and have loved it since before my time and will cherish it after I am gone. It was so nice to see a new Wizard of Oz movie and was a joy to meet the new characters Dorothy brought into this new film. My daughter mentioned going to see it in the movie theater and I wish now we had gone. This is a precious movie. It carries on the priceless memories of the original Wizard of Oz and keeps it alive in our hearts. I am keeping high hopes that this company creates a sequel to this movie and that they are able to make more money than the original. I think that the problem was that no one even knew about this movie as there wasn't enough publicity. I had even doubted that it was even in the movie theater because I heard nothing about it. Thank you!
I wasted two hours of my life on this piece of trash. The animation is basic at best, the story is disjointed, the character interplay is amateur. Just goes to show without a good script it doesn't matter how many big names you have in a movie it's not enough to save the movie. It's a Canadian production so I'm sure my tax dollars are hard at work funding this piece of codswallop, I want my tax money back. To the producers, ever see toy story, yeah?, be more like them. Amazingly my kids aren't hating the movie.I want to poke my eyes and ears out with a hot poker. Someone referenced the Barbie movies in relation to this movie and I couldn't agree more, the first thing I thought at the beginning of this movie was it was the same production company.
The movie was awesome... My kids loved it and now they want the sing a long DVD ...refreshingly original and fun...great family entertainment. New characters new adventures yet still keeping with the story and characters I loved as a kid. My daughters need more role models like Dorothy . As a parent I appreciated that the humor was kid friendly and not too adult oriented . Great examples of friendship and helping others through struggles and challenges. Best part was the music original and enjoyable. The jester was ...just menacing enough without being creepy scary for my four year old. This is a DVD I won't mind the girls playing over and over
