Journey Back to OZ is a animated sequel to the beloved MGM classic. However there was an animated sequel that was made in 1964 that has the voice talent Liza Minnelli who of course did the voice of Dorothy. The animation isn't the best however it is a fun movie. There is a few songs in it that I say drove me nuts (even when I was a kid) however the movie does have some stand out moments!
Here is a little trivia for you!
The movie was in and out of production starting in 1960. It did not get released until 1974!
I went and saw this movie when I was a kid! I remember my sister and I seeing this! It was playing with the Disney movie "One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing" To this day I still don't remember that movie but I remember "Journey Back to Oz"
Now when this movie premiered on ABC the movie ran short! The movie was padded out by having Bill Cosby do bumpers around the movie! These bumpers are included on the DVD release! The sad thing is that on the DVD they could of included an option to watch the movie with the "Bil Cosby" Segments.
The ABC Presentation was later used in the syndication version! This movie at one time was part of the SFM HOLIDAY NETWORK.
For years the movie was unavailabe on home video! It is now out on DVD. I would order it soon! Movies like this to go out of print fast! In fact 4 or 5 years ago I paid $50 for a used VHS!
