Whilst not as technically impressive as Return to oz or Wicked this is quite a charming fun film.
The cast are all fun featuring Liza Minelli (Judy Garland's daughter and super star) and her frequent collaborater and friend Mickey Rooney as the Scarecrow! Even Magret Hamilton returns in a different role this time Auntie Em.
The scene where Scarecrow reunites with Dorothy is genuinely very sweet and charming.
Unfortunately some of the songs go on too long and drag the film out, but overall an enjoyable experience
