Summary: A Wonderful Film, a Great DVD and a Note About Widescreen
Review: I won't bother to say much about the film as I'm sure most people have already seen it by now. Suffice to say it is an American cinema classic. Excellent.The DVD presentation is GREAT. With wonderful presentation of the film and substantial supplemental material. To those people disappointed in the disc because it is not presented in widescreen: THE WIZARD OF OZ AND OTHER PRE-1953 FILMS WERE NOT FILMED IN WIDESCREEN!! Films of this era were filmed and projected at around 1.37:1 which is basically your television screen ratio of 1.33:1. This IS the original aspect ratio. Watch it and enjoy.

Summary: Not such a good video
Review: This isn't such a great video. The parts of the wicked witch and the violence and the no-color can make children that are 4 or younger scared and make them want color.

Summary: The most perfect movie! Makes me feel young again!
Review: I'm sure since 1939, everything has been said about this perfect movie. Ideal cast, script, songs, etc. I'm relatively new to DVD, so it was with great surprise when I viewed the new DVD transfer this weekend. For example, you could see every blade of hay blow by during the twister scene. It's just a wonderful movie, excellent pacing, heartwarming songs. I'm 56 years old, but once again I'm 8 years old after watching this. The DVD also offers outtakes, bios and the making of the movie which I found fascinating. I still get misty-eyed watching it after all these years. I really don't see anything wrong with the DVD transfer. The color is vibrant, and the black and white is in a sepia tone that adds to this dreamlike treat. Just too marvelous for words.

Summary: IGNORE bodaecia!
Review: I agree with you all. This is the best movie ever made. I would give it 10 stars if I could. It made in the AFI top 10 list. The DVD is spectacular with tons of extras. There's a behind-the-scenes documentry of "The Wizard of Oz" hosted by Angela Lansbury. The picture quality is unbelievable! Sharp and crisp picture. Judy Garland never looked so beautiful that she takes my breath away. Those ruby slippers are absolutely gorgeous! Everything in this movie cannot be missed! ADD IT INTO YOUR DVD COLLECTION TODAY! You will not regret it!

Summary: DREAMY
Review: First off, I don't believe a word of it. I think its all made up. Farm girl sings song about rainbows, then winds up in some foreign land. She meets new friends, and together they go to some place called "Emerald City" (sure). There their wishes are granted. Soon she's back in Kansas (or is it Arkansas?). Everything is normal again.Probably the greatest American film ever made. It has everything. Baum's plot IS what dreams are made of. The 1939 special effects are delightful and seemingly current. The songs are wonderful, the dancers are great, and that little dog is pretty cool too! There are so many nice touches to this film, it would be impossible to enumerate them.As a child, I looked forward to the CBS presentation of Wizard of Oz. It was broadcasted but once a year, and was a family event. For us boomers, we all remember it as one of the few things that bond us closely with our parents. Sort of a miracle.The DVD offering gives us a glimpse into the casting problems, the production, etc. And that's coo. But the film itself is the real star. Follow the yellow brick road...and ll will be fine.paris c.

Summary: THE HORSE OF A DIFFERENT COLOR!
Review: A different color indeed as being released in splendid technicolor. This unforgettable 1939 classic remains one of my best loved movies of all time. It is absolutely delightful from beginning to end. The special effects and music are nothing short of extraordinary. Whether watching the tornado, the house floating in the air, or seeing monkeys fly - I ask myself, how did they do it? Had this been released with todays' special effects luxury who knows what could have been accomplished? Of course with the way films today have been going lately it could not have possibly been made so well. It goes to show you they just don't make movies like this anymore. They probably never will. Additionally the story of Dorothy (unforgettably played by a 17 year old Judy Garland, it's too bad she had a tragic alcohol downfall later) and Toto meeting up with the brain yearning Scarecrow, heart wishing Tinman, and Cowardly Lion is a classic in itself. One of those bedtime stories you could read again and again. Seeing is definitely believing. Who I really loved was the gorgeous Billie Burke as Glinda the Good Witch. Margaret Hamilton is also wonderful as the Wicked Witch of the East, she almost steals the entire show from Frank Morgan as the Wizard. Documentary supplements on the DVD including outtakes and missing musical numbers is fascinating. I could go on forever with how wonderful this film is, but I think you get the point. A genuine Hollywood Classic - to be loved and cherished by you, your loved one, and entire family - BUY IT NOW!

Summary: One of the greatest....better on DVD!
Review: This is my favorite movie of all time. When I finally got a DVD player, this is one of the first DVDs I bought. I have seen many of the outtakes, deleted scenes, and the documentary with Angela Lansbury about the making of The Wizard Of Oz, which are all included in the DVD. However, what impressed me most was an audio-only supplement of rehearsal recordings and outtakes. There are so many of these that are very interesting. Also included are two MGM radio shows from 1939, touting the movie. This is well worth the cost of the DVD. The only thing I wonder is if the people who preserved the audio recordings so well would have preserved the deleted video footage, we would have all found some precious gems.
