Story
I was mostly a Good Dog until they sold me out to animal control, okay? But if it’s a choice between Oz, with its creepy little singing dudes, and being behind bars in gray old Kansas, I’ll choose the place where animals talk and run the show for now, thanks. It’s not my fault that the kid is stuck here too, or that she stumbled into a tug-of-war over a pair of slippers that don’t even taste good. Now one witch in good eyeliner calls her pretty and we’re off on a quest? Teenagers.

Interesting variation on a classic. Not very sophisticated characters. I might recommend it to my necessary and nephews.

Narrator needs more range in pace and emotion. Goo
Reviewed: 07-17-15
Narrator needs more range on pace and emotion. Good at the action scenes but weak on the sensative and subtle parts, too fast and clipped.
