Except at state dinners.  Flangepart says, check it out! A better take on sequals then useual. Fairuza Balk is totaly convincing as Dorathy. Good work by Will Vinton studios and the Henson cabal. But, the early stuff at "The Clinic" realy was creepy. Still, a more intreasing childrens movie i did not expect.

I must agree with you Flange, Dorothy being sent to a clinic to undergo shock treatment was really disturbing.  See, she refuses to cease believing in "Over the Rainbow" so they are going to send a few thousand volts across her temples.  The film is very dark for young viewers.

Tik-Tok's bizarre inability to wind himself just about drove me batty, but, then again, the magic of Frank Baum's Oz always was fickle.

Too true. That stuff just would not fly today, or then , as it may have been one reason it never made it big.  Hey, Andrew, about these minireviews of mine. What could i do to improve them? I love the Stuff to watch for most, as it inspires the imagination to wonder, "What the heck could have inspired him to say that?" Works for me, anyway.

I was terrified of the many heads of Mombi all sitting in the glass case and her original head was so scary too. That rock thing scared the crap out of me too w/ those wheelies.
