Here is what people are saying about the The Wizard of Oz
 "The Wizard Of Oz Blue Ray HD Collectors Set" | 2009-11-01 |
| - Reviewed By User: AV51CP1SDYX1 |
| Not all of the HD Wizard of Oz Blue Ray 70th were created equally. In Canada there was no 8X10 collector cards included in the set only in USA ...... So I had to buy an American copy HD Blue Ray to get the 8x10 collector photos. The price was very good on this Box Set in HD but I bought it on a pre-sale in both countries. I wanted one to open and one to save in mint condition. One problem with that is on every box including US you get a "BONUS DIGITAL COPY" message on the packaging but when I opened mine I have ONLY until Sept 29 2010 to download it. I hate that! I just don't know why they didn't just put one already made in each collectors box set is beyond me. Other than that picture and sound are incredible to watch in HD and LOVE all the extras you get regarding the movie! |

 "The Wizard of Oz like you've never seen it before" | 2009-11-01 |

| I am directing The Wizard of Oz this year. We just watched the DVD with our drama club, and my high schoolers were blown away with the quality of the picture and the sound. One girl said that you can see every wrinkle in Dorothy's dress. This is the best restoration I have ever seen, and makes me love this movie even more. The special feature on how they restored the film is a must watch. |

Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) wants to save her poor little doggy, Toto, from the clutches of her wicked witch like neighbor Elmira Gulch (Margaret Hamilton). Nobody at home will support her in this effort. Her only alternative is to run away. However she is persuaded by kindly Professor Marvel (Frank Morgan) to return home. She returns home just in time for a tornado to whisk her away to another land in another time what she believes would have been safer for her dog.
The screen changes from Brown white monochrome to glorious color as she meets new friends that seem familiar and has adventures that lead her to believe that there is no place like home.
Seems like everybody and their bliss forgot about the original dilemma of what to do with poor Toto.
The film now a bit dated is a classic and it is imperative that you have a copy on your shelf. You may even find yourself taking it down periodically to watch.

I like to restrict my review to just the movie itself. However there are those people that are interested in all the extra goodies in the add-ons and commentaries in adjustments and whatnot of all the special versions in capabilities of today's technology. You can choke on with "The Wizard of Oz (70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition with Digital Copy and Amazon Exclusive Set of 4 Collectible 8x10 Character Posters) [Blu-ray]" version. If I were to gain were discussed every extra goody in this package it would take pages. Of course there are the usual commentaries and then some extra commentaries there is the audio and then there's the music effect track. There is the sing along, and extras, and the trailers, and additional footage. Today more than little techie stuff there is even the BD-live option. You might find a larger package but not techier package.
I'll bet you donuts to dollars that before this review is obsolete someone will complain that this is not the widescreen version.
For me and don't take this in a negative way the high definition allowed me to see Dorothy freckles but at the same time allow me to realize that Judy Garland was much too old for the part.

This review is for the Blu-ray Ultimate Collector's Edition (UCE). Gorgeous though utterly unnecessary packaging, the 8k film restoration/transfer stands on its own. Film grain is preserved and colors are natural, rather than the harsh blue, yellow and red of previous incarnations. A great set well worth the money.
MY ONE COMPLAINT: the opening and closing titles are "window" boxed, which means the image has been pulled back to prevent the loss of edges of titles or credits. Since this is blu-ray, why the hell was this window boxed?? Standard Def televisions invariably have edge cut off but not High Def?? The only answer is that Warners didn't want to make a separate master for Standard Def; that way, they could do a straight across slap onto DVD and Blu-ray without the extra headache, or expense. Very, very disappointing. There is nothing like ripping you out of the film when the image jumps smaller, then back to normal. Sloppy.
Otherwise, extraordinary image and sound. |

| "Almost perfect" | 2009-10-03 |

| I agree with most of the reviews on here about this being a great Blu-Ray release. There is only one thing that annoys me, it's the fact that this is presented in 4:3 instead of 16:9. Every TV being sold today is HD and widescreen. Why would anyone put out a 4:3 Blu-Ray is beyond me since Blu-Ray is an HD format and all recent HDTV's are 16:9. No one still watching a standard definition TV will get any benefit from Blu-Ray! This release would receive 5 stars if the movie were presented in wide screen. |
