Bonus Movie: MGM: When the Lion Roars. A 6-hour Award-Winning Studio Chronicle (Standard- Def DVD) In this charming film based on the popular L.Frank Baum novel, Dorothy and her dog Toto are caught in a tornado's path and somehow end up in the land of Oz. Here she encounters some memorable friends and foes in her journey to meet the Wizard of Oz who everyone says can help her return home and possibly grant her new friends their goals of a brain, heart and courage. When it was released during Hollywood's golden year of 1939, The Wizard of Oz didn't start out as the perennial classic it has since become. The film did respectable business, but it wasn't until its debut on television that this family favorite saw its popularity soar. And while Oz's TV broadcasts are now controlled by media mogul Ted Turner (who owns the rights), the advent of home video has made this lively musical a mainstay in the staple diet of great American films. Young Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland), her dog, Toto, and her three companions on the yellow brick road to Oz--the Tin Man (Jack Haley), the Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr), and the Scarecrow (Ray Bolger)--have become pop-culture icons and central figures in the legacy of fantasy for children. As the Wicked Witch who covets Dorothy's enchanted ruby slippers, Margaret Hamilton has had the singular honor of scaring the wits out of children for more than six decades. The film's still as fresh, frightening, and funny as it was when first released. It may take some liberal detours from the original story by L. Frank Baum, but it's loyal to the Baum legacy while charting its own course as a spectacular film. Shot in glorious Technicolor, befitting its dynamic production design (Munchkinland alone is a psychedelic explosion of color and decor), The Wizard of Oz may not appeal to every taste as the years go by, but it's required viewing for kids of all ages. --Jeff Shannon Video: 1080p High Definition 1.33:1Media Format: Box set, Limited Edition, Subtitled, Limited Collector's Edition, Dolby, Original recording remastered, Full ScreenSubtitles: English, Italian, German, Dutch, Chinese, Spanish, Danish, Finnish, Portuguese, Norwegian, Swedish, FrenchLanguage: Italian (Dolby Digital 1.0), Portuguese (Dolby Digital 1.0), Spanish (Dolby Digital 1.0), German (Dolby Digital 1.0), French (Dolby Digital 1.0), English (Dolby Digital 1.0), English (Dolby Digital 5.1), English (Dolby TrueHD 5.1)Studio: Warner Home VideoNumber of discs: 4 (Including the Bonus Movie When the Lion Roars)
