Get ready for a strange voyage back to a strangely familiar fantasy land with Disney DVD's release of this belated sequel to The Wizard of Oz. Presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, the image is clean and nearly flawless. Sporting solid blacks, even skin tones, and little evidence of edge-enhancement, this disc will look great no matter how it's viewed. The Dolby Digital 5.1 remix rings through loud and clear, with no hiss to speak of, offering a great showcase for David Shire's wondrous score. Of course, Return to Oz wasn't exactly a box-office phenomenon when originally released in 1985, but that hasn't stopped Disney from including some interesting extra features. It's great to hear Fairuza Balk recollect her first major role in a candid and easygoing interview, and it's obvious that everyone involved in the production truly believed in the film. In addition to addressing issues of stratospheric audience expectations, Balk also talks about her longtime relationship with director Walter Murch and the grueling audition process she endured to land the coveted role of Dorothy. Though original TV spots and a theatrical trailer are also included, the television spots are in particularly poor shape and appear almost completely desaturated in addition to sporting onscreen timecode.

Trippy/Crazy/Not for children!

I remember watching this as a kid at my friends house, and so one summer when I was still in college and teaching at a school age summer program I thought oh it would be cool to watch that. BAD IDEA! We started watching it and I was surprised that I was allowed to see it when I was a kid.
It's not a sexy movie, it's just very dark and trippy...I mean a lady has cut off all the beautiful women's heads and keeps them in cabinets in her bedroom...where she stores her original head and when the mood strikes her she will change to another head...The rest of the people of OZ have been turned to stone and it's guarded by these people called the "Wheelers". Needless to say we turned it off about 45 minutes into it because it was way to much for our kids. I would say it would be fine for a 10-11 year old, but not any younger!
What's great about it: It brings back memories of my childhood...I saw this when I was like 7
What's not so great: Not for children...Is a little scary and could very easly freak out your young child!
I would recommend this to a friend!
