Remember all those straight-to-dvd Disney sequels that nobody liked? You know what would be a really great idea!? Giving that exact same treatment to one of the most beloved family classics of ALL TIME! And boy, is it.It has a plot that's just as boring. It has songs that are just as meaningless and forgettable. It has writing that's just as child-pandering and groan-inducing. It has performances that are....arguably passable. But you cast Bernadette Peters in a musical and didn't have her SING?And in a freaky coincidence, the india-based animation company known as Prana frequently teams up with the studio known as DisneyToon that used to give us those movies! And currently makes all the Tinkerbell movies. Well, that also explains why it LOOKS significantly not up to par. Unspectacular, but not TERRIBLE, as some of the ideas and designs seemed upped for Oz, if safe. But the difference in quality from what we've come to expect from theatre animation, is not subtle. Which leads us to the BURNING question: How did this get released to THEATRES? In WIDE RELEASE? In BLOCKBUSTER MONTH?! (May 9th) Oh, and it didn't do well? Well, you don't say! Oh, and did I mention that the lion, Tin Man and scarecrow are BARELY IN THIS MOVIE? Now, acknowledgement: This movie was technically based off one of the original Oz books that I haven't read, so I don't know how exactly faithful it is. But I do know that the marshmallow guard that's an extremely prominent character WASN'T IN THE BOOK AT ALL. So that doesn't necessarily give me a bit of confidence. And even if the adaptation WAS faithful, it STILL wouldn't make this movie any less unbearable to sit through for me.

OK first of all let me get this straight I'm not defending this bad movie or anything but it isn't good I just think its OK like it's not bad or terrible like how all critics said for example there isn't too much development of the film I didn't like the characters or the song but it isn't terrible or godawful I just think its OK. I admit the animation isn't good but I don't hate it sorry guys.I am just saying that the story is kinda alright I just think its alright my brain is telling me to hate this movie but I don't hate it I do think there are flaws. If you are a oz fan maybe I don't recommend you to watch it but anyway that's all I have to say. 5/10

When I first saw this in the movie theater, it was amazing! This version of Wizard of Oz has some of the same characters from The Wizard of Oz like, Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow, and the Lion. The jester is a interesting villain instead of the wicked witch from the west from the classic. The characters you love are joined by a few new friends! Oz kids was another version of Wizard of Oz, but this version is even better! The songs are great, they'll make you want to sing and have fun! When the world is my favorite song in the movie. Lea Michelle does a great job as Dorothy and her singing voice, too. This version of The Wizard of Oz is better than the classic, and Oz Kids!

Our family loves everything about The Wizard of Oz and have loved it since before my time and will cherish it after I am gone. It was so nice to see a new Wizard of Oz movie and was a joy to meet the new characters Dorothy brought into this new film. My daughter mentioned going to see it in the movie theater and I wish now we had gone. This is a precious movie. It carries on the priceless memories of the original Wizard of Oz and keeps it alive in our hearts. I am keeping high hopes that this company creates a sequel to this movie and that they are able to make more money than the original. I think that the problem was that no one even knew about this movie as there wasn't enough publicity. I had even doubted that it was even in the movie theater because I heard nothing about it. Thank you!
