Dorothy is summoned back to Oz to combat the Jester, a new threat.

This CGI feature is based on a novel by original author L Frank Baum's great-grandson and features a stellar voice cast. The first of these is not a recommendation and though the second should be, it isn't: several stalwarts over-perform, and no-one is given anything very special to do.

This is a thoroughly pedestrian piece, characterised by truly awful animation. This would have looked shoddy 15 years ago: by today's standards it is lamentable. Then one sees that it cost $70M and one wonders what it went on.

I suppose this would pass muster for undemanding kids, but it really isn't very good at all.
