When I say "The Wizard of Oz", you most likely envisioned the 1939 musical film adaptation starring Judy Garland, which is one of the most beloved and greatest movies of all time. In fact, I just watched it on TCM.
I recently got this version at a used DVD store and decided to double feature both versions.
I watched this for 5 minutes and lost interest.
I read that this movie bears little resemblance to the classic movie, and no kidding. It opened with The Wizard himself being a king and the other members of Oz being his subjects. This may have been fine...
Without the narrator.
I kid you not, this "silent" film has a monotone female voice reading what was onscreen. (To be clear, this would have been bothersome with a male monotone voice as well.)
Having the other negative reviews on here in mind, I decided not to waste my time. It looked boring and I was struggling to pay attention. That was not a good sign.
It may be fair to ask if 1/10 is fair to rate for 5 minutes. Consider it a 1/10 for those 5 minutes. The other reviews appear to be right that this isn't that great.
Reverse Recommendations: See the classic 1939 film, or the VeggieTales version: The Wonderful Wizard of Ha's instead.
