Return to Oz is an astonishingly somber, melancholy and, sadly, unengaging trip back to a favorite land of almost every American's youth.

Rating: 7/10 --
On its own merits, has some very fine cinematic flourishes... if we can but manage the herculean feat of separating it from the older movie.

...Dorothy's second voyage to the Emerald City employs an amusement park full of imaginative characters and special effects...
Variety
"Return to Oz" won't make anyone forget "The Wizard of Oz," or even "The Neverending Story,"... Then again, it's as good an excuse as any for treating the family to popcorn.

Return to Oz isn't a musical and doesn't match the wit and magic of the 1939 original. But it's an appealing picture on its own terms, if you can overlook a couple of big miscalculations.

Return to Oz is the kind of movie that encourages people to rent home videotapes of The Wizard of Oz and The Wiz.

Chicago Tribune
From just about every standpoint Return to Oz is competently executed but ill-advised. It's hard to imagine whom the filmmakers are trying to reach; it's easier to predict that filmgoers of all ages will be pretty well turned off.

Product Description:
This sequel to THE WIZARD OF OZ adheres to author L. Frank Baum's wonderful fantasy novels as Dorothy returns to Oz where she battles a powerful Gnome King and a vain witch. Helping her are a cute robot named Tik Tok, a gangly jack 'o' lantern, and a talking chicken. Some material may be frightening for very young children. Academy Award Nominations: Best Visual Effects.
Description by Buena Vista Home Entertainment.:
