Perfect!

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2005)

Anyone growing up in the 60's can remember that this movie was an annual must see TV event! Even 40 years later it still is as fresh as when it was first released. They don't make em like this anymore and it is quite a shame. The innocent Dorothy, conked on the head during a tornado, is mysteriously transported to a world that comes alive with color. She awakens in the psychedelic land of the Munchkins and immediately becomes a target for the Wicked Witch of the West. Protected by the beautiful Glenda and charmed by the entertaining Munchkins, Dorothy sets off for the city of OZ where she hopes to find the wizard that will be able to send her home back to Kansas. Along the way she meets three friends who become some of the most memorable characters in movie history. Interesting documentary footage added to the DVD ending showing Buddy Ebsen as the Tin Man and scenes that never made the movie. This is a movie for both adults and kids of all ages. My own kids started watching it from the time they were 3!
