Pros: Iconic film. Brilliant restorations--1999 slightly more detail; 2005: more color and extras.

Cons: 2005 transfer may be *too* colorful/contrasted, occasionally compromising detail/sharpness. Slight soundtrack alterations.

The Bottom Line: American treasure, etched into our collective psyche. More extras in 2005 transfer; picture possibly too colorful/contrasted, compromising detail/sharpness seen in 1999 transfer. Minor soundtrack alterations in both.

Review: The following review appeared at a different epinions location which eventually seemed buried--never receiving details, price comparisons, nor other reviews, and finally losing the DVD cover photo. I relocated to this more appropriate URL--and took...

Pros: Original Version: Wonderful children's story, brilliant coloring, superb acting and costumes, and wonderfully catchy songs. Pink Floyd Version: Roaringly funny, and quite uncanny. This is a thoroughly fun and amusing way to view this film. Plus,

Cons: Original Version: Drug reference. Pink Floyd Version: Some songs have to play over, and some parts (very few) don't fit the movie at all. Many viewers may not like seeing the movie this way, especially since it means no dialogue.

Getting all cleaned up, putting our pajamas on and huddling together in front of the television set with my sisters to watch the Wizard of Oz.

The tornado scene was...

Pros: great classic

Cons: I think you can only see it on cable now

Review: When my sister and I were kids, this movie was a one of our favorites to watch as a family at least once or twice a year. This is my favorite classic. We had everything the popcorn, junk food, the whole family, and everyone singing along.

...

Pros: The music, the characters, the scenes: in other words everything

Cons: Ok, so that Flying Monkey scene gave me the creeps as a kid

Review: I love it! It's one of my favorite movies of all time. I can remember as a child having to come home while it was on. I ran home during the commercials in hopes to not miss a minute of it.

I think it has a wonderful message to it. Like a...
