Dove Review

The Land of Oz came into view many years ago, when I was a very young child. Now Oz is back in this wonderful animated film. Dorothy is once again waking up after a twister affects her home. Meanwhile, back in Oz, an evil jester is destroying the colorful city. The lovable trio-Scarecrow, Tin man and the Lion, need to get a message to Dorothy for her help. So by the way of “Over the Rainbow” Dorothy is transported back to the land of Oz where she meets some new friends to help her in this troublesome situation.

Imagination is a great thing for everyone and the Oz story installs just that. This animated movie with its wide variety of voices of many well loved stars brings back the fun and fantasy entertainment for young and old alike. It also teaches some important lessons about having friendships and working together to help others in the time of need.

We award “Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return” with five Doves, and it is approved for all ages.
