Cool. Sounds great! I will scan my Anchor Bay cover and start working on a custom cover for the Disney version right away.

I liked it very much both as a kid (when, for my birthday party, we saw it in the theater as a double feature along with Big Trouble in Little China...Man, that was a great year) and as an adult. It's nothing like the Wizard of Oz. It's much darker and, as others have said, much more faithful to Frank L. Baum's original books. But it's a very imaginative and engaging film to say the least. A bit too scary for little littles, though.

I felt the same way about "The Dark Crystal." That movie practically gave me night terrors as a child.

Yeah, beat me to it. Return To Oz is a really great film for what it is. It starts off really dark and almost creepy, stays that way as well. And when you're finished watching you almost feel like you've sat through a fantasy adventure kind of movie like The Neverending Story, or Labyrinth (without the music of course). I remember as a kid myself being kind of frightened a tad. I saw a piece of it on TV and stopped watching. It was kind of odd for me as a child to comprehend what was going on since it wasn't 'The Wizard Of Oz' that I knew. But watching it now, I really enjoy this film and anybody should definitely wait to show this movie to their children until they're a little better at handling spooky themed things.

well, i finally got rid of the old disc, and plan on purchasing the new disc this week...anyone have any revelations on a reason to keep the anchor bay disc.

I didn't find a review on this site for either disc...

As previously said, the only thing superior about the Anchor Bay edition is the cover art.
