Apparently this is based on a book that Baum's great-grandson wrote, who was also behind that "The Cowardly Lion belonged to the Wizard" story that became that one mediocre cartoon movie.

[up][up]Actually I think Dorothy forms a 3-man-band of new comrades here, and the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion are just there for continuity.

Well that would explain why the commercials have hidden those new guys entirely. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh, if only those other 40 books were more known to the public, they wouldn't have to keep retreading the rut we've got from the '39 movie.

Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the Great

This villain they apparently invented for this movie looks so... not intimidating. It's just some loony jester with an emphatic motley.
THAT's supposed to be the villain? It looks like a mentally deficient NiGHTS!

I know, right? Like I said, he's not even a sinister-looking clown.

You know, not once did anyone mention how this movie is created by the same studio that created Dino Time in 3D, and this movie is getting a bigger commercial run than the former. So I say this one is the studio's "Ice age".

Does anyone even know (or care) what Dino Time in 3-D is, though?

And yet we still got Battle For Terra... EDIT: No, wait, maybe I'm thinking of Delgo?

Well, Battle for Terra is at least watchable. Delgo ain't.

Have any of you realized this is really called Legends of Oz now??

For some reason I saw a Z at the end of Legends, like Legendz of Oz and that made me think it was radical for some reason.

It's "Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return", which still contains "Dorothy" and "of Oz", so there!

yes, i'm just saying movie execs usually think kids will buy anything if it's spelled or sold in a radical fashion. That's why every toy company for boys back in 90's usually contained a Z at the end.

If so, we may need to catch this thread's title.

Has anyone thought that mabey the jester is working for someone else? Like in the vains of Loki working for Dr. Doom, This guy could just be serving for the loss of The wicked witch.

Insert lack of Ozma here. That girl needs to be in more adaptations, along with Jellia Jamb, Tick Tock, and Scraps.
