Phil Villarreal Arizona Daily Star Comparisons to the universally lauded "The Wizard of Oz" (1939) are inevitable, but the scruffy sequel holds steady in many categories. That "Return to Oz" isn't a musical like its forebear makes it considerably darker and more relatable. Rated: 4/4 May 19, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Good thing I saw the series first before the actual first special from Rankin Bass. Before you say it's a claimed sequel that copies the original story it's not, it's more of a faithful retelling the company made in comparison. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
