You don't fool with Mother Nature, spit into the wind, remake Casablanca, or trash the land of Oz. Perhaps that is why the 1985 live-action sequel split critics and audiences alike. The 1939 classic musical is so beloved that it's almost impossible to imagine seeing Dorothy in shock therapy, a crumbled yellow brick road, the ruins of Emerald City, and the Tin Man turned into stone. But L. Frank Baum, the author of the original Oz books, portrayed just that with his continuing stories of Dorothy. When you get by these tough facts, the film version is solid entertainment for the over-7 set.

Dorothy (a 10-year-old Fairuza Balk in her debut) is back in Kansas, where Aunt Em (Piper Laurie) is at the end of her rope: her niece is not sleeping and going on about a place called Oz. Therapy may be the answer, but luckily the scary clinic goes dark before Dorothy can be, er, cured (but the lead-up will scare the munchkins out of most kids). She wakes up in the land of Oz, now in tatters, and searches for its king, the Scarecrow. A new set of friends, including a tin soldier, a talking chicken, and a pumpkin man, help her against new villains, including Princess Mombi (Jean Marsh)--complete with a set of detachable heads--and the evil Nome King (Nicol Williamson with a great assist from Will Vinton's Claymation). The sole directorial effort of Oscar-winning editor Walter Murch is stuffed with marvelous effects that foreshadow later works by Tim Burton and the Henson non-Muppet films. --Doug Thomas

カスタマーレビュー

DVD欲しい！！！！
ジュディーガーランド主演のミュージカル版と両方テープで持ってますが、すり切れるほど見たのは正直こっち。
ファンタジーとしての完成度が凄いです。
子供の頃から見ているのでイマジネーションの根源的作品です。
メチャクチャ面白いのでみんな知っているかと思っていたらマイナーだったんですね。
何年に一回は無性に見たくなる作品ですが、デッキ自体がもう自分では持ってないので、
是が非でもDVDが欲しいです！

こ、これだー！
子供の頃に観て、強烈な印象だけを頼りに探し出して見つけた！
と思ったらDVD出てないんですね…
ダメですよ！ビデオだと擦り切れますよ！
面白いから何度だって観るに決まってますから。

今のコテコテCGのファンタジーにはない温もりというか、
温度が感じられます。
世界観がひどく綺麗で…怖いのはイヤだけど、また観たくなってしまうんですよね…

DVD化、切に願います。

切望DVD化！！
私も強く望みます、DVD化！すごく良く出来た映画で、２０年ほど前に観たのに今でも強く印象に残ってます。どうしても観たいのですがどこにお願いすればDVD化してもらえるのでしょうか。切望します、DVD化！！！
