Whether you're watching this film for the first time or the 100th it is still absolutely brilliant, and is a must see. The colour and the quality of the picture has been restored to its former glory, and the experience is one you won't forget in a hurry. For most people it will be their first chance to see how the film originally looked when it was released in 1939 and this cannot be recommended too highly. The extra features are genuinely interesting and I for one will watch them time and time again. Massive fun for all ages
Quite simply one of the finest films ever made.
The story is strong, simple and timeless.
The characters are instantly memorable and each fully realised through their parts in the film.
The backdrop is inspiring and brilliantly recreated.
The songs fit like a glove: brilliantly crafted.
As you get older, you tend to appreciate this even more, realising that there really is nothing quite like it.
If, for whatever reason, you have never seen this movie, you should!
In today's world where cynicism reigns supreme, it still resonates with an important message, and still entertains like nothing else.
At this price, with these extras... perfect!
The favourite of my younger sister for years as we were growing up-and it probably still is all these years later!!
This is the Remastered special 3dvd edition which enhances the picture and sound quality brilliantly so as to give the best viewing experience possible and it does that everytime!!!
I never knew how much i had enjoyed this as kids, but after watching it all these years later i can definately say this is going to be around for a long long time to come as it is very entertaining for all ages!! I found myself singing along to the music which i didn't even know that i knew and not just one or two tunes it was the lot!!!
A must for fans of the Wizard of Oz, both young and old and for those that have never seen this before!
I was quite lucky to get a copy for just £4.99 and would have paid loads more now i realise just how long the memory of this film has stuck with me!!
