Title: There's a curse on the Yellow Brick Road
Product review: While I do believe that the 1939 adaptation of L. Frank Baum's "Wonderful Wizard of Oz" is a classic that shouldn't be messed with, I prefer "Return to Oz" because of its more faithful approach to Baum's work. Plus, it's much darker and more intense (the Wheelers will certainly scare the little ones), and Dorothy is indeed played by a young girl, and not a 17-year old Judy Garland (I mean no offense; she was a talented actress indeed, but Fairuza Balk is more believeable here). The special effects are spectacular, and Princess Mombi and her many heads are visually stunning.So be careful, this will not be as sweet and innocent as "The Wizard of Oz" and the kids will probably be frightened by the many dark elements in the film (such as Dorothy's electro-shock therapy and the Tin Man's frozen posture).A+
