Friday Family Film Night: RETURN TO OZ review

In which the Mister joins me in reviewing RETURN TO OZ (1985), from script writers Walter Murch and Gill Dennis, based on characters from the novels of L. Frank Baum, the film is directed by Walter Murch.  In this poorly conceived sequel to the 1939 classic, young Dorothy Gale (Fairuza Balk) must return to Oz to help rescue her friends and save Emerald City from the evil Nome King.  This film clocks in at 1 h and 53 m, is rated PG and is currently streaming on Disney+ but also to buy/rent on Prime Video.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
