(Blu-ray, 20th Century Fox)
Dorothy is summoned back to Oz via rainbow to save it from an evil jester. He is the brother of the wicked witch of the west and wields her broomstick for power. Dorothy makes another trek across Oz, picking up a trio of new friends along the way: a wise but overweight owl; Marshal Mallow from Candy Country; and a dainty princess made of china named China Princess. They battle the flying evil monkeys and eventually the jester to wrest control of Oz. Wizard of Oz sequels almost never succeed because of they fail to live up to the immense shadow cast by the original 1939 classic. While this much-maligned film has unmemorable songs, it is otherwise quite imaginative and entertaining.
