Children Best Classic

Newly restored movie "The Wizard of Oz"

 Like most children , I've watched this film many times in the past on telecast TV, then VHS tape, then LaserDisc ... be that as it may, I had never really SEEN "The Wizard of Oz" until this recently restored DVD turned out. It's an astounding exchange. The sepia-tone Kansas successions are startlingly sharp and clear, and the Technicolored world "Over the Rainbow" is really astonishing. I got myself captivated by subtle elements I had never seen: the sparkling corn stalks in the Scarecrow's field; the mirror-like floors of the Emerald City; the cleaned catches on the sentries' regalia. Extraordinarily, even the individual grains of red sand in the Witch's hourglass emerged and shimmered! All these minor-yet lavish visual points of interest served to increase the supernatural spell that the film has constantly woven, upgrading the exhibitions, the story, and the music.
