Audience Reviews for Journey Back to Oz

All star cast, but not much fun.

Anthony Valletta

Super Reviewer

I remember watching this movie when I was younger. I recently saw it again, for nostalgia purposes and I thought it was okay, the songs were a little lengthy. I was scared of the green elephants.

Super Reviewer

A charming animated adventure where Dorothy returns to OZ and meets her old friends, plus new ones. The new characters like Mombi, the Wooden Horse and Jack Pumpkinhead make it interesting. It's very colorful animation, but the sappy songs drag it down a bit, and aren't up to the quality of the original. I loved watching it in 1974 when I was only six!
