Review



We click our heels in anticipation. There's no place like home and no movie like this one. From generation to generation, The Wizard Of Oz brings us together - kids, grown-ups, families, friends. The dazzling land of Oz, a dream-come--true world of enchanted forests, dancing scarecrows and singing lions, wraps us in its magic with one great song-filled adventure after another.

Based on L. Frank Baum's treasured book series, The Wizard Of Oz was judged the best family film of all time by American Film Institute. And this never-before-seen restoration looks and sounds better than ever. We invite you to embark for the Emerald City on the most famous road in movie history. Dorothy (Judy Garland), Scarecrow (Ray Bolger), Tin Woodman (Jack Haley) and Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr) await you on the Yellow Brick Road and "Over the Rainbow."

How many extras can they do to this film? Surely when it was made they didnt do behind the scenes and bloopers!

A fair point actually...

That said I'd imagine it's filled with a load of docu-style stuff. Judy Garland life story, Michael Jackson interview on why he made a version, and maybe "The Walking Toto Interactive Game"... Just a thought!

Good price, and it is a lovely boxset. It has been as low as £3.99 in the past at HMV is if your not tempted now keep an eye on it as I'm sure it will go down again.
