Review of Return to Oz (1985) by Adam Y — 21 Jan 2010
This is another of those films I had forgotten from my childhood. I must have seen it on TV in the mid 80's or possibly a friends place, I can't recall. It is an alright film which makes me want to read the books. Of course it is not the classic the original Wizard of Oz film still remains more than 80 years later.
This film is supposed to be darker but I remember that Wicked Witch and her flying monkies and gorilla men as being quite scary as a child. Overall it is it's own version/continuation of the first film, even using the ruby slippers instead of Silver slippers I guess are in the original books.
Worth a watch for Oz or fantasy fans, an ok family movie.
