5.0 out of 5 stars Anime of the 80's.., September 25, 2003

By	Rebecca Lakey "squirtle_girl" (Clearlake, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I remember this verison well from back in the day when it was on tv. I think it may have run on the Disney channel in the form of a series but I am not sure. In this telling of the tale Dorothy has curly brown hair and Toto is a loveable ball of fur drawn in a 70's style anime way.The Scarecrow in this adapton is very loveable and skinny looking as well. The other two films in this series are entitled "The Wonderfull Wizard Of Oz" and "Ozma of Oz". These films are somewhat "darker" than some tellings of the stories but are very true to the books in that way.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite takes on the WIZARD OF OZ!, February 23, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Wonderful Wizard of Oz [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Margot Kidder is the narrator of this wonderfully spectactular animated film of the Wizard of Oz. This movie is the first part of an Oz series based on the books. The animated movies were released as a miniseries on the Showcase channel. This has been one of my favorite children's movies ever. Definitly a five-star movie. Also watch the Marvelous Land of Oz, narrated by Margot Kidder. That is probably one of my favorites of the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Oz cartoon that has ever been made, March 26, 2003

By	Greg Tutt (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wonderful Wizard of Oz [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This cartoon is the best oz cartoon ever made. The music is great, the story is presented wonderfully and the characters are fantastic. I thought the wicked witch of the west was the best, she was scary, powerful, and different from usaul witches you find in cartoons. I really hope one day I will be able to buy this video again. I may be older now but its still my favourite cartoon and oz movie!
