The Wizard of Oz: 85th Anniversary

Details

Return to the Land of Oz this November with a brand new Theatre Edition celebrating The Wizard of Oz's 85th anniversary. The set includes new Wicked Witch of the West key art, a Steelbook, and retro premiums from it's original release back in 1939.

One of the best-loved movies of all time, The Wizard Of Oz (1939) stars Judy Garland as Dorothy, a young Kansas farm girl who is whisked away by a twister to the land of Oz. Accompanied by a brainless Scarecrow, a heartless Tin Man and a Cowardly Lion, Dorothy and her little dog, Toto, follow the Yellow Brick Road seeking the Wizard of Oz, in order that he may grant her wish to return home.

The Wizard of Oz received five Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, and captured two Oscars® - Best Song (Over the Rainbow) and Best Original Score - plus a special award for Outstanding Juvenile Performance by Judy Garland. The film was an overwhelmingly popular and critical success upon its initial release and repeated its ability to captivate audiences when MGM reissued the film in 1949 and 1955.

In 1989 The Wizard of Oz was part of the inaugural group of films selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant.

The Wizard of Oz: 85th Anniversary is released on 4K UHD as a Steelbook 4th November 2024 from Warner Home Video.
