About the film:
Young Dorothy finds herself in a magical world where she makes friends with a lion, a scarecrow, and a tin man on her way to speak with the Wizard and defeat The Wicked Witch of the West. A delightful musical film based on the first novel in L. Frank Baum’s Oz series.
“For younger adults who have seen it only on video, if at all, and for the new generation of kids across the nation…this is one vintage film that fully lives up to its classic status“
—Todd McCarthy, Variety
