So my mom,my brother,and myself all went to see this film today in the cinemas as the other film we were suppose to see wasn't on until 15:35 and it was too late for us to see it. So we decided to watch Legend of OZ: Dorothy's Return. Now before I start this review I have to say that as a 23 year old woman I absolutely love Animated movies in fact its my favourite movie genre as I love all the effects and effort that is put into making animated movies like Frozen,Tangled,Shrek,The Lion King,whether its Hand-drawn or not I love watching animated movies.
So this one I had very low expectations on,I thought it looked stupid and generic and like a film you see going straight to DVD as it was like a Barbie film,but I was wrong,now its not the best film of all time,but its entertaining for the kids as well as the adults who are big kids at heart.
SO what is this about well let's dive in. Dorothy Graine( voiced by and sung by Lea Michele from Glee in her first animated debut) is whisked away to OZ once again thanks to a magical rainbow that transports her and her dog to OZ as an evil Jester wants to take over by making puppets out of real people. SO Scarecrow insists on Dorothy's help and she agrees. Here she meets a obese owl who helps her and later a marshmallow guard(voiced by Hugh Dancy who also sings in this movie as he sung in the 2004 film Ella Enchanted)who arrests Dorothy and the Owl as they ate candy(btw did anyone think that the candy scene was like Sugar Rush in Wreck It Ralph)and when the marshmallow guard finds out that Dorothy is known as the greatest person ever to defeat the wicked witch he agrees to let her and the owl go. So they go off to defeat the jester(voiced by Martin Short who was in Barbie's Princess & The Pauper and he as in the 2003 Disney film Treasure Planet)who is the wicked witches brother.
So can Dorothy get Glinda(Bernadete Peters from Anastasia as she voiced Sophie in that film) the white fairy back? and undo the spell that turned her into a puppet?
Overall I found this film sweet and nice. The animation is nice to look at,the backgrounds look great and the voice acting was good too(Dan Akyrod from Ghost busters as the Scarecrow,Kelsey Grammar who also worked with Bernadette Peters in Anastasia and he was Sideshow Bob in The Simpsons,and James Belushi from Curly Sue as the Scarecrow are also in this film). The music is great(Bryan Adams who is a singer who did the likes of Spirit of the Stallion and Racing Stripes) provides the music for this film. If you got kids than this is for you,or if you consider yourself an animated fan like me than check it out. For those who hate musicals and sugary sweet cartoons avoid.
6.5/10
