Cinema To The Letter: Return to Oz (1985) (A for Atypical Disney)
We're not in Kansas anymore here on Cinema To The Letter! For the final episode in their Disney season, Bryan and Thomas discuss a truly A for Atypical film from this family friendly studio. While Return to Oz was aimed at a family audience, the intensity of its fantasy imagery was so decried upon release that Oscar winning editor Walter Murch never got to direct a film again. However, does that mean Thomas and Bryan dislike this infamous film from the studio? What separates this L. Frank Baum adaptation from the most famous Oz film of all? How well does the Nome King wear those ruby slippers? Well, walk down the dilapidated yellow brick road while listening to this episode to find out!
