Return to Oz

Return to Oz (1985) sta­rring Fai­ruza Balk. Sur­pri­singly few peo­ple have heard of this childhood gem, fewer still have seen it and many pass it off before laying eyes up on it. From this short clip I hope you will see that this is not your every­day children’s film, it is weird and intri­guing; it is a film that does not dumb­found its audience with sim­pli­fi­ca­tions and fluffy pink things or loud noi­ses and explo­sions. In fact it is scary, but who in the 90s deci­ded that kids shouldn’t get a little sca­red when they watch films? If ever I see this film lis­ted on TV I will make sure to find the time to watch — per­fect for that rainy Sun­day afternoon.
