Summary: Odd, odd, great
Comment: This is a serious twist on the Wizard of Oz. Different people, different setting and just different. This one is a little darker and spookier, with some campy moments and a young Faruzia Balk(Nacy from The Craft). If you are expecting it to be a sequel to the original, this will disappoint you, but if you are looking for something funny, 'scary' different and a little odd, this is the movie. There's a chicken, a moose of sorts, a witch with many heads, and tin man and the coolest rollerblading I've seen for that time. I loved it as a kid and watching again, I still love it, odd as it is. It's useless to compare the acting or 'realism' since it's an older movie, but it's still great.

Summary: A Risk Well Taken
Comment: I don't envy anyone electing to make a sequel to one of the most beloved films of all time. That said, Walter Murch has done a superb job filming two of the other Oz books.
This film is well acted, and by turns funny and suspenseful. It doesn't quite have the emotional tug that the original film had, but it succeeds on almost every level. Fairuza Balk in her film debut, brings the right psychological weight to every line, and Nicol Williamson and Jean Marsh are genuinely terrifying villains, both in the early "real" sequence set in a mental hospital and in the Oz sequences.
I loved the talking hen with a penchant for stating the obvious.
This film is incredibly beautiful to look at.
David Shire's musical score is really imaginative, from romance to terror to ragtime.

Summary: Childhood Memories
Comment: My father use to rent us movies every Saturday when we were kids.AS I got older and began to reflect back on my chidhood,I started asking around about movies that we use to watch (Pippi LongStockie),nobody I spoke to was able to recall this movie so I had to find it for myself. Watching this made me feel like a kid again....really.
