It is a performances centric movie
... View MorePretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
... View MoreI am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreI can not understand why this cartoon was not picked up in a heart beat. It is one of the better thought out, quality animated kids shows out there. At first I thought it was a money issue where it costs just too much to make an episode of this quality of a cartoon, but something seems to be missing. Since 2002 and this show has not made any headway? It seems like the show is being held back on alt purpose.I am convinced there is a agenda in children's programs that is purposely manipulated to only broadcast shows that fit a certain mold. It is not only about the money or the ratings. Money is evil and ratings lie. We all know that by now. But more than that, this show definitely did not fit someone's plan for what children should watch and get exposure to.It had a good plot line, great animation, the characters were not annoying or just stupidly loud and obnoxious like 90% of the shows on Cartoon Network. I mean this is a show where EVERYONE that I have recommended to say is so much better than anything their children are currently watching. Yet it does not get picked up. Hmm...interesting.
... View MoreMy daughter and I just loved this pilot - everything about it is great, from the character development, the dialogue and character interaction left us wanting more. My 5-year old is fascinated with building things and loves story books like" Rosie Revere, Engineer" and "The Most Marvelous Thing", so she was thrilled that Dorothy is a fellow tinkerer and she wants to talk about all of her inventions. I liked the interaction between the mother and daughter and that sense that this had all happened before. There are great references to the original while definitely taking the series in it's own direction. The yellow brick road has turned into the yellow brick line and Dorothy's blue and white checkered shoes are reminiscent of the original's dress.I found each of the characters intriguing and want to know more about their back stories - it seems like they have a lot of fun directions to go with and I don't see them running out of ideas any time soon. My daughter and I were thrilled to hear that Amazon picked it up and ordered the series. They can't start airing episodes soon enough for us.
... View MoreMy grandchildren check each time they come over to see if another episode of Lost in Oz has come out. We loved it! (Yes, even me- grandma) We are really hoping to see this become a series! It has been so disappointing to see so many animated series coming out now having sexual innuendos. Lost in Oz showed no evidence of that whatsoever. Our grand daughters were able to relate to a curious little girl with a good heart. I think it is very sad to see so many people with a gift for making children's shows use that gift in such a sexually explicit way. So many of the animated young ladies on these shows are clothed so tacky. Sadly,children so often do desire to imitate what they see. We keep watching the same Lost in Oz pilot over and over again. :) I guess we will continue to do that until the next episode comes out.
... View MoreMy kids, and myself admittedly, absolutely loved this pilot! Was gutted to find out that it was a complete flop in 2002 so never got fully released. It's always a shame when something like this goes under the radar and never gets bought by a company when there are so many other horrendous films and TV shows that do! I know that IF this ever got released as a full series my kids would definitely be bugging me to buy it for them or rent it or watch on Netflix/Amazon or wherever. I pray to the guys who made this to go to Netflix and TRY to get this released again, or Amazon, whatever. As I said earlier there's so much bad TV out there it's sad when something my kids loved so much from one episode never made it. Maybe companies need to start letting the right people choose what does and doesn't get shown, and in this instance they should be letting kids do the reviewing for them!
