In Disney’s fantastically eerie, unforgettably creepy L. Frank Baum adaptation, Dorothy (Fairuza Balk in her big screen debut) returns to the Land of Oz but finds the once-wonderful Emerald City in ruins and the yellow brick road a pile of rubble. Now she’ll have to team with new friends Tik-Tok, Jack Pumpkinhead and the flying Gump, avoid the evil Wheelers and rid the world of the Nome King, if she’s going to restore Oz to its former glory.
“One of the most legitimately terrifying family movies of all time.” – Chris Eggertsen, HitFix
“Like Labyrinth, Dark Crystal and other dark children’s films of the 80s, Return to Oz (which, like the previously mentioned films, also features work from Jim Henson) embraces the horror and harder fantasy elements, utilizing a sort of whimsy that’s much more foreboding and off-kilter.” – Britt Hayes, Screen Crush
