About This Movie

So, The Wizard of Oz from 1991, directed by Doug Parker, is a wild twist on the classic tale. It's an anime short that really leans into its absurdity, giving a nod to the original while poking fun at every trope you can think of. Britain Dunham channels Arnold Schwarzenegger as the 'Tinmanator'—you've got to hear it to believe it. The pacing is frenetic, keeping you on your toes and the practical effects? They’re goofy yet charming, capturing that handmade feeling. It’s all about embracing the ridiculousness of storytelling, and you can’t help but chuckle at how far they take it. A real oddball in the genre for sure.

Not your typical adaptation, more of a satire.Features an interesting blend of animation styles.Be prepared for a lot of over-the-top humor.
