Review of Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return (2014) by Wayne K — 09 May 2014

This is a really fun movie that both kids and adults can enjoy. Most of the critics out there must not have watched the same movie I did, as much of what they are saying is simply untrue or hyped on the negative. The animation could be a little better on the human character movements, but it hardly detracts from the movie, and the animation is splendid and vibrant once the story is back in Oz.

I give this movie really high marks. I've already seen it multiple times and still enjoy it. My 2-year-old loves the music, especially the "Work With Me" song (although the movie itself is really for older kids). The music totally gets stuck in your head!

I highly recommend that everyone see this movie at least once. Forget the critics and give it a try. Rather, listen to the audiences who have watched it, as they are generally rating it high. Remember, there is just a little "weirdness" that goes with Oz, as with many stories set in fantasy worlds, but it's fun! When you consider that this movie is not Disney/Pixar or Dreamworks, it is actually that much more impressive. I say look for great things to come from this new franchise and the producers at Summertime Media!
