You know, I did saw Return to Oz on Disney+ back in August and I was surprised of how dark it was. But in the end, I loved it.

[@johnnyd3158]

I still have this film on VHS from when I was a kid as it was one of the first anime I ever saw, lol.

[@Royman87]

I used to have the VHS of this movie and used to watch it all the time with my siblings. Good times.

[@nickcopeland6915]

The Tin Man is voiced by John Stocker, who voiced Toad in the Super Mario Bros. Super Show and one of the villains from Care Bears. The Wicked Witch is Elizabeth Hanna, the voice of Hen from Little Bear.

[@barneyerror4561]

So they essentially got a lot of Nelvana produced people at the time.

[@sonofmovienerdking7230]

I guess it's a good thing the books are public domain otherwise Warner Bros. would've done these versions in for copyright.

[@moviemaniac9034]

Interesting fact: The Wizard in this movie is voiced by Lorne Greene, aka Ben Cartwright from "Bonanza".

[@leroybilly9533]

@Westley Clayton I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@leroybilly9533]

@Westley Clayton It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much, you really help me out!

[@westleyclayton5872]

@Leroy Billy No problem =)

I found a great series of books based off Wizard of Oz. This is a darker series by Danielle Page called Dorothy Must Die. There are 4 main books and 9 novellas to set up a prequel to the main stories. I totally recommend them!

[@magicalpasta5462]

I ordered the 1986/88 anime collection of wizard of oz narrated by Margot Kidder in the English dub

[@Hewylewis]

Awesome.

[@kevinobill4818]

there was an anime show for kids but the Kalidahs have sounds very similar to Godzilla, you have good hearing on Gaira's roar, Hewy.

[@Hewylewis]

Do you mean the anime I mention towards the end?

[@kevinobill4818]

@@Hewylewis The 1982 one? Yes.

[@Hewylewis]

@@kevinobill4818 No, the series I talk about at the end is from 1986.

[@kevinobill4818]

@@Hewylewis Ah I my bad man I thought it was in 1982. Thanks for correcting me.

[@Hewylewis]

@@kevinobill4818 I didn't hear any Godzilla roars, just Gaira.

[@erainmartinez8175]

I love this movie

[@kevinobill4818]

Good content, Hewy and don't worry I'm 21.

I was trying to make my best to worst ranking Oz related film list, like iconic MGM movie is already my number 1 because it's the one that I grew up with while Disney's Return to Oz is my number 2 because of the dark elements, I grew up watching stuff like that such as the animated Batman from the 90s, Gargoyles which did had the Batman feel which was hard to believe was a Disney series, Nightmare Ned which was a Disney series that had dark elements, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Invader Zim, even The Powerpuff Girls had moments like that mostly the episodes with HIM and so did Hey Arnold so Return to Oz is nothing compared to those when I first saw it only once as a kid on the Hallmark Channel than had to rewatch it as an adult and it's still good as I remember. Oz the Great and Powerful is my number 3 because I find storylines to be interesting and it also had a dark feel, Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return is something to think about for it does seem like a decent animated film but not all that great than there's Journey Back to Oz was kinda cheesy and Return to Oz from Rankin Bass looks like a Tootsie Pop commercial.

[@henrymockingbird9645]

There is animated sequel to wizard of oz call Journey back to oz and it has Judy Garland daughter playing Dorothy

[@sianbrock1537]

Hey Hewy I was wondering if that's ok with you that you know about Journey back to Oz or Lion of Oz, they were Animated version's too lol love your videos too lol

[@Hewylewis]

I know about them, yes.

[@sianbrock1537]

Thank you for answering lol, I know thier not as like the ones you reviewed but they do have the element's well kind of lol sorry if it's too long lol

[@sianbrock1537]

I am sorry for being a pain,it's just not many people review them and it's ok if you don't want too,but thank you anyway for your time too lol

[@zkhdillard]

Wonder what's ur opinion on the wiz 🤔

[@Hewylewis]

Movie's a guilty pleasure. :)

[@zkhdillard]

@@Hewylewis * blasts "Ease on down" from phone * :)

[@forrestdupre9916]

The Muppet version is actually the most accurate.

[@jenniferschillig3768]

Actually, I'd say the original stage version of The Wiz (NOT the 1978 movie--the live TV version from a few years back is much closer to the stage show) is one of the more book-faithful adaptations there is, modern music and all.

[@mathieuleader8601]

very retro

[@fishapiller]

I have the vhs 📼 of this I love the anime of oz

[@erainmartinez8175]

Eli J Martinez: me too mate

[@johnnyd3158]

Me too, lol.

[@Blueparle]

I’m working on a spin-off book series to the land of oz

[@Hewylewis]

[@seanpvs101moviesproduction3]

[@Hewylewis]

[@seanpvs101moviesproduction3]
