All rights reserved.| Movie Description Young Dorothy is bored of her gray life on a Kansas farm. When her house is whisked away by a tornado, it lands somewhere over the rainbow in a Technicolor world, and Dorothy knows she's not in Kansas anymore. This beloved, incomparable classic based on L. Frank Baum's turn-of-the-century novel is a musical and visual candy store. Dorothy's journey to find a way back to Kansas has permeated American culture and film for decades and remains one of the best musicals and children's stories ever filmed.

Top Reviews 3 of 12 people found this review helpful. I never actually recieved my purchase. I waited around 2 weeks or so to recieve my movie and finally I emailed the seller asking what was going on. They wrote me back stating that they hadnt gotten around to sending in the mail yet and apologized. They said that they would send it right out. I waited a couple more days... (I had purchased the item as a gift and the opportunity to give it was long past) It still didnt come in the mail so I wrote another email.. I think my third email stated to either send the movie or give me my money back. I got an email from ebay a day later stating that the person refunded me. I was definatly not happy with this user. If they plan on selling more items they should make sure they actually send them to the person who purchases them. Be careful with this seller. Review ID: 10000000003467139 Was this review helpful?

It was in original packaging and much less $ than trying to buy from a store! Review ID: 10000000008309845 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 08/08/08 by: My son, 2 1/2, loves the Wizard of Oz. We were so tired of renting it from the library and getting late fees because we'd forget to return it! We decided to buy it, and found the best price by this seller! We could have gotten it from a lot of other sellers, but the great ratings were true! We received the movie in record time and could enjoy it right away! I would buy again! Thanks, Review ID: 10000000008272715 Was this review helpful?

Report this review Review created: 08/05/08(updated 08/13/08) by: marysbaby001 ( 8 ) Glinda gets my vote..ok with that said picture this, Kansas black and white and very dreary..a young Girl dreams about far away places..meeting new people..she has it in her head she wanst to leave home..so after someone tries to take away her best Friend Toto a tiny dog she packs her bags and leaves..suddenly a storm blows up out of nowhere..Dorothy believes her Aunt Em is sick so she rushes back and gets caught in the twister..suddenly the film is alive with color and music..Billie Burke (at the time she was in her 50's) played the beautiful Witch of the North Glinda..a bit of trivia in the scene where we see Glinda for the last time I was told by Billie Burkes Daughter Mrs. Burke had a broken foot and filmed this scene in extreme pain..her cast was hidden by the long flowing dress she wore..This is definitely a not to be missed film..enjoy this movie with the whole family.."we're off to see the Wizard" Review ID: 10000000008218585 Was this review helpful?
