I actually did see the movie. Took some kids in my family because not all of them had gotten to go and several wanted to see it or see it again. Honestly, I didn't like the film much. Thought they should have titled it Oz:The Soap Opera, with the witches fluttering their lashes and chasing the handsome Wiz. All the longing and weeping that was going on?
Somewhere over the rainbow Frank L Baum is probably rolling in his grave, and Margaret Hamilton too. I never thought I'd ever see the WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST turned into such a wimp of a character! ICK! Disney as much as I usually love you folks, right now I could just turn whoever was responsible for coming up with the plot of this dismal film into frogs! I've seen a lot of good Oz films. Return to Oz and Tin Man come to mind, but this? I can't say it was worth much, sorry, but I really just didn't like it much at all.
I actually thought China Girl was the best thing in it. She's a bit of a little bitch at points, kind of bloodthirsty too, but she was at least funny. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have been able to sit through it. I just hated what they did with the adult characters, but China Girl, she was amusing. At home she's a little sweetheart and I'm still in love with her uniqueness. I even made her a little blue chair with blue star material to sit on and gave her a spot of her own on a bookshelf.
