Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
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茅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

I wish I could review this product, but as of 12/8/08, I still have not received this item. It was suppose to be here before Thanksgiving at the very latest and here it is the 8th of Dec. and it still has not come. I am very disappointed because I was going to use this DVD in my classroom.
If and when I ever get this DVD, I will let you know.

The Wizard of Oz
The movie itself was okay but the Outtakes/Deleted Sequences, Behind the Scenes, Oz History and Oz Afterlife parts of the DVD were messed up and we were unable to watch them.
Rating: - collectible queen
collectible queen removed my money for this purchase over a month ago, but never sent my movie. I sent her an email the day after the last possible arrival date, and never got a reply. When I contacted amazon, I was told I had to wait even longer to file a claim. The email even implied that I was somehow at fault because I didn’t look at her reviews. When I did, I saw that she has done this to several other people. I don’t understand why amazon continues to allow her to rip off their customers. I will … Read More
