DVD Reviews of The Wizard of Oz

DVD Review: Happy customer
Summary: 5 Stars

I was shocked how quickly I recieved it in the mail and what great condition it was in.

DVD Review: The Wizard of Oz
Summary: 5 Stars

See it again for the first time -- introduce it to a child. Oz is as magical today as when L. Frank Baum first told the tale. Who does not want to go "Over the Rainbow?"

DVD Review: Confused by reviews since the BluRay version has not been released
Summary: 3 Stars

I am confused by the reviews since the BluRay version has not yet been released. While I understand the expression of feelings about the movie in general (VHS and DVD) as well as the nostalgia associated with the movie, how can this be considered a legitimate review of the product since no one appears to have actually seen this version? By the way, my family loves this film, I rated it because it was required, and I will most probably purchase this version.

DVD Review: Well done re-mastering
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a well done re-mastering of the original. I forgot how much fun this movie is.

DVD Review: Thanks
Summary: 5 Stars

Thanks for the quick turn-around for this video as it was part of a birthday present.

Description of The Wizard of Oz

When it was released during Hollywood's golden year of 1939, The Wizard of Oz didn't start out as the perennial classic it has since become. The film did respectable business, but it wasn't until its debut on television that this family favorite saw its popularity soar. And while Oz's TV broadcasts are now controlled by media mogul Ted Turner (who owns the rights), the advent of home video has made this lively musical a mainstay in the staple diet of great American films. Young Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland), her dog, Toto, and her three companions on the Yellow Brick Road to Oz--the Tin Man (Jack Haley), the Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr), and the Scarecrow (Ray Bolger)--have become pop-culture icons and central figures in the legacy of fantasy for children. As the Wicked Witch who covets Dorothy's enchanted ruby slippers, Margaret Hamilton has had the singular honor of scaring the wits out of children for more than six decades. The film's still as fresh, frightening, and funny as it was when first released. It may take some liberal detours from the original story by L. Frank Baum, but it's loyal to the Baum legacy while charting its own course as a spectacular film. Shot in glorious Technicolor, befitting its dynamic production design (Munchkinland alone is a psychedelic explosion of color and d?cor), The Wizard of Oz may not appeal to every taste as the years go by, but it's required viewing for kids of all ages. --Jeff Shannon
