"Over the Rainbow, and many, many miles East of nowhere, lies the Magical Land of Oz, a magnificent empire created in the mind of a man named L. Frank Baum, who wrote a marvelous book about it titled The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the first American Fairytale. And like wildfire in a wheatfield, the spellbinding tale of Oz spread from town, to city, to nation, and captured the hearts of people young and old from all over the entire world. Even a century after it was first told, Oz is still as entrancing and intriguing as it was over one hundred years ago in 1900. And unlike many stories told throughout time, Oz hasn't lost it's ability to cause people from generation from generation to fall under it's spell. There are so many endearing characters to meet and places to go, fantastical adventures to have and enchanted inhabitants to encounter. So, just follow the Yellow Brick Road, visit the Emerald City and click your heels in anticipation. The wonderful world of Oz awaits you! "

Return to Oz is a unique 1985 live action fantasy film by Walt Disney Pictures. It was directed by Walter Murch that serves as a semi sequel to both the iconic 1939 film by MGM and the original story of 1900 by Oz creator L. Frank Baum. It is loosely based on the second and third sequel Oz books out of the official 14 titled The Marvelous Land of Oz, published in 1904 and Ozma of Oz, published in 1907 which also were written by Baum. Despite its controversy and ultimately being a box office failure during it's theatrical release over thirty years ago, it has now become a treasured Cult Classic. One of which is praised by loyal Oz fans from all around the world. Return to Oz is also viewed by many critics and Oz fans to be the most faithful Oz film-adaption that has ever been made yet, staying extremely faithful to the original story lines, descriptions and darker themes of what Baum himself most likely envisioned when he first introduced the Land of Oz to the world in 1900.

Return to Oz captures the essence of L. Frank Baum's Oz books almost perfectly. Visit the unofficial fansite to learn more @ WWW.Waltdisneysreturntooz.Com
