Movie Reviews of The Wizard of Oz: Rescue of the Emerald City
Movie Review: Can be enjoyed for what it is
Summary: 4 Stars
I have fond memories of this series from my childhood. After jumping at the chance to purchase this, I am happy to say that those memories are not tarnished, but this cartoon set isn't as pefect as I remember it.
In a nutshell, Dorothy is back in Oz to help rescue the wizard from the resurrected Witch of the West. This DVD package presents 'The Rescue of the Emerald City' parts one and two, and another episode.
The story is decent enough. I'm glad to see the witch back as the villan instead of a cousin or a revolving door of other bad guys with no continuity. The nods back to the orginal film and uses of the original scores are a nice touch too. Probably the strongest point this show has going for it is the voice cast. Most of them sound as close to their 1939 counterparts as possible in the early '90's.
Unfortunately, the picture quality looks like it is from the seventies. The screen jumps and the film is full of debris. Too bad the producers didn't choose to clean up the film a bit for the DVD release. The animation is passable for a television series, but could have been better since it was produced in the ninties. Also, the characters constantly declaring themselves dumb, heartless, and without courage gets annoying after a few times.
In conclusion, this DVD is not perfect but enjoyable enough for the devoted Oz fan and small children.
