Even by the standards of allowance-snatching half-term filler, this is pretty indifferent ... Go to Full Review Anna Smith Empire Magazine 05/18/2014

Carping on a film clearly targeted to 5-year-olds might seem unjust, but the filmmakers go about their business in such a lazy fashion that the viewer can't help but feel irritated by the whole ordeal. Go to Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 02/01/2021

Kelly M 1d Terrible because it has got forgettable characters and a terrible villain the original wizard of Oz is so much better than this horrible movie the new characters are called Wiser, Marshellmellow and China Princess and the tin man scarecrow and cowardly lion are not really part of the story at all terrible movie 1/10 See more Tim M @tgmacman 12/08/2024 With lackluster animation and banal storytelling, Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return is one trip over the rainbow viewers will regret taking. See more 07/24/2024 For me, this is an absolute classic. I will definitely make my friends watch this movie. The love story between the China princess and the Marshall mallow guy is definitely rushed though. I didn't know that two people could fall in love in a matter of maximum, a week. But I love this movie regardless. It was targeted to a younger demographic. So if you're an adult, it might not appeal to you. The music was awesome, despite a lot of people saying otherwise. Yet the set or a lot of the places felt a bit barren and lacking, like the ending part to the Jesters castle. Everyone was just in the courtyard duking it out... but, I still love the movie with all of my heart. See more Артем Б 04/01/2024 I couldn't watch this movie for a long time, but when I finally got the chance to watch it and watched it, I realized to my surprise that this movie is not good. The only scene I remember in this movie is the fight at the end, it was very interesting, but most of the movie was boring and tasteless, so I definitely do not recommend watching it.The whole film is like some separate work that has no connection with any movie or any book of Oz.There is absolutely nothing interesting about this movie, the animation is outdated and the plot is very predictable.And then why is it called "Dorothy's Return"? It's more like a second part that didn't have a first part. See more BEN G 02/22/2024 what the actual fuck is this See more ana luisa u 12/12/2023 Es entrenida los personajes están OK la animación no está mal los protagonistas son regulares y el humor meh el villano no tan mal es un 6.9 de 10 See more Read all reviews
