Amazon.com essential video
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

The Wizard of Oz, used January 4, 2009
The DVD arrived on time and was in great condition! The case looked new. I would definately buy from this seller again.
110 year old classic is better than ever!! January 2, 2009
It's almoast impssible to discribe this famous movie is one review, that's how good it is!
All I can say is, it truely is one of the best loved movies of all times.
This wonderful, clasic movie is 69 years old, and the story itsself, which started out as a story that L.Frank Baum would tell to children, right in his own front yard is almoast 110!
So it dosen't surprize me, that people of all ages still love this movie, after all, who ever could forget the well known actors and actresses who played the famous charitors (Especilly Judy Garland as Dorathy), the famous story with it's unforgetable morals, or all thoes classic songs, such as all time favorite "Someware over the rainbow"
This movie is without a dout, one of the best movies in history!
As a bonus, this special edition also contains full color poastcards, as well as mini poasters, programs, and even an inatation to the theater and a movie ticket from the year this famous movie first came out, 1939!

I wish I could review this product, but as of 12/8/08, I still have not received this item. It was suppose to be here before Thanksgiving at the very latest and here it is the 8th of Dec. and it still has not come. I am very disappointed because I was going to use this DVD in my classroom.
If and when I ever get this DVD, I will let you know.

The Wizard of Oz
The movie itself was okay but the Outtakes/Deleted Sequences, Behind the Scenes, Oz History and Oz Afterlife parts of the DVD were messed up and we were unable to watch them.
