Our Thoughts:
I have always loved the idea of retellings and sequels of the classics. I really wanted to love this film, but it just wasn't possible. The story revolved around a little girl named Elizabeth who lives in an orphanage and believes she's Dorothy Gale. This in itself was not believable as fifty years have gone by and she hasn't aged. Then the Scarecrow and Tin man show up in really corny costumes. I understand this is a low budget film, but really, I could have made better costumes myself. I can't even say that I was impressed with most of the actors. The only one who was even slightly believable was the woman who plays the head of the orphanage. Most of the movie is a flashback of the travels of the tin man and scarecrow. Random people help them in their search for Dorothy, never wondering why these two guys are dressed like characters from the book. Everyone else if the world believes they are the real thing, yet the people at the orphanage think Elizabeth is crazy. I really can't find any redeeming qualities in this film. I just can't recommend it.
