I noticed some people brought up the fact that Greg Centineo's son is indeed Noah Centineo, the star of the TV series The Forsters and featured in movies like To All the Boys I've Loved Before and Sony's Charlie's Angels reboot. All I'm gonna say about him is by asking you the question: Guess how daddy helped Noah become a Hollywood actor?
Let me guess, scamming.
Faustian pact?
*damm*
Now I want to go up to him and be like "Omg you're the kid of that guy who did legends of OZ" and just watch his head spin
Actually I was thinking about how these guys were saying that critics and the major Hollywood studios were in cahoots to make their crap movie fail. It’s like with Elizabeth Holmes blaming John Carryrou working with other diagnostic lab companies and pressuring government agencies. Scammers always have a villain in mind.
The Legend of Scam: Dorothy’s Scheme
Original movie. Do not steal.
YTP Robotnik That was a legitimately good joke.
Cesar Fernandes Thank you.
YTP Robotnik I only got "Legends of Hoax: Carroll Brothers' Scam".
Cesar Fernandes That is creative in my opinion.
Nice name!
I'm a artist and I mainly customize shoes. I was doing a craft show when I had a man walks up to me and wanted a custom pair a shoes for a red carpet event.... FOR THIS MOVIE! 🤣 He was a investor for this movie and wanted shoes for the premier. He asked me a ton of questions about if I know the movie, seen anything on TV and stuff like that. Feel bad now that he was scammed.
That's so cool! What kind of design did you end up putting on his shoes?
@@WobblesandBean probably this
I fucked up
@@WobblesandBean been trying to find pics of it. I wasn't sharing on Instagram yet. It was tin man scar Crow on one shoe tho. Can't remember on the other sadly.
@@MonkeyZeroX Mind if I ask you for a link to your shop or IG? What you do sounds super interesting and I'd love to see!
@@WobblesandBean sure ig: kivadeno_customs
This reminds me so much of Rise Of The Guardians, they had a whole franchise plan yet didn't counted the possibility of the movie bombing and having a Plan B. At least ROTG have some talent behind it.
juan ortiz and at least ROTG had a beautiful art design and because a cult hit, and helped jumpstart Peter Ramsey’s career.
ROTG deserved so much better. Very underrated movie that had major potential.
I remembered when people used to ship jack frost with elsa lol
Not to mention didn't need to do any illegal shit to pull it off
juan ortiz sorry, I tend to get Rise Of The Guardians confused with Legends Of The Guardians.
The "unaccredited" thing deserves some extra clarification. In the United States (and many other countries), certain types of high-risk investments (like funding for films, theatrical productions, or start-up businesses) can only be undertaken by "accredited investors," meaning people or businesses who are proven to have both the knowledge to handle those investments and the net worth to withstand any (likely) losses that result. The Legends of Oz team was targeting people who didn't fully understand what they were getting into and encouraged them to sign on for something that was beyond their financial capacity, which for me is the most distasteful part of the whole business.
Excellent video! I love behind-the-scenes stories, and think this one should be more widely circulated.
We stan the queen of musical hell!
Hello Diva :3
I never expected to see you here, I wonder what you think of some of his other videos.
Hi Margaret Von Fuzzy-Legs :D
Hey Diva. I saw some of your videos & they are pretty cool
This movie is the example that a finance teacher would use on how to NOT handle investments.
Yeah i can see that happening in the near hopefully non COVID future
I wonder if these videos are shown in classes?
Fun fact: the director of home on the range directed this atrocity.
What a résumé.
What a way to reach a new low.
Rob Bob even though I enjoy home on the range as a guilty pleasure I think that the director of that movie shouldn’t be making movies, he obviously doesn’t know what he’s doing.
I like Will Finn.
am I the only one that feels bad for the animator behind balto and eldorado? They actually are good just not at 3D
This is like those kickstarter games where the money just went to the developer on vacation in the Bahamas.
Just like Bialystock and Bloom, who planned to take the invested money and run to Rio.
"I'm going to take you for a ride 🎶"
Jan Mikhail Gaid finally a reference to that movie!
@@velveteenv76 I understood that reference
Oh my God your pfp
Legend of Oz Accountant: "You know, under the right circumstances, a producer could make more money with a flop than he could with a hit."
Now I wanna scour the film's credits for anyone named Bialystok 😂
“I’m hysterical, and I’m wet, and my face hurts!”
I think AniMat read your comment, because he put that quote at the end of his second video about The Scam's Return.
“Legend of Oz: Dorothy’s Return”
Where
“The Wolf of Wall Street” meets Mel Brooks “The Producers”
Without question.
Then had a threesome with the Wizard of OZ
To Kansas.isn't that that the plot of the Wizerd of Oz?
Minus "springtime for Hitler".
I. WOULD. WATCH. THAT. MOOOOOVIEEEEEEEE
I remember hearing once that Legends of Oz had a troubled production, but I didn't realize how overly ambitious the creators of the film were, it's absolutely insane.
I'm just gonna admit it....
At least I find the character design really nice
Paolo same, kinda
I get a nice "Winnie-the-Pooh-esque" vibe from the owl. The pattern on his chest is a good detail.
*cough* "Studio FOW"
And the teddy of the lion was adorable
Some of them aren't too bad. It's the animation quality that ia giving me a headache! 😑
I remember getting flooded with ads for this movie on UA-cam before it came out. Every episode of anime abandon and game grumps would be preempted by the same trailer for this one movie. I eventually got curious about it. Watched/read some of the reviews the day it came to theaters and immediately called my sister and told her “look up legends of Oz, we are watching it. We have GOT to see this mess” we pirated it and the rest is history between me and my sis. We showed this train wreck to nearly everyone we know including our mom (who’s a huge oz fan) once it came to Netflix. She left the room at the 12 minute mark. I’ve since made it my mission to get the podcast wehatemovies to cover it.
That's dedication at its finest. I almost envy and empathise with you, I don't think I would be willing to put myself through that amount of torture.
Is this the animated Oz movie that accused Disney and Hollywood of blacklisting them out of movie theatres?
Also, wasn't there another Oz movie out at the same time? but it was partially based on a completely unrelated German fairy tale or something?
yes. Not just disney but all the big studios so like Disney, Warner Bros and Universal (which I like to call the big trio) ect
@@Evanedits191 What about dreamworks
@@kendrickviera-ramos6077 their content is meh-pretty good now but not the god given masterpieces like they used to release like Kung fu panda, how to train your dragon and especially Shrek
I know that this film was pushed back in order not to coincide with “Oz the Great and Powerful” (2013) .
Hello you
This company's backstory would've made for a great movie.
I would spend money watching it
Either a semi-autobiography, or a documentary.
Something like a mix of the social network and the wolf of wall street
People forget that Oz is a book series. That MGM musical film version should not be the holy grail of Oz. Return to Oz is based on the 2nd and 3rd book and is the most accurate film adaptation to date.
The 1939 film is timeless even if it's not 100% accurate to the books.
I remember seeing the dvd for this in Target. When I saw Lea Michele’s name attached to Dorothy, I thought “oh, how ironic. The girl who played Idina Menzel’s (Elphaba) daughter in Glee is playing Dorothy.” I had no clue that a seemingly innocuous animated movie was such a big scam. I feel bad for the people who got tricked into the scam, including the actors.
Conspiracy: Wolf of Wall Street is actually a documentary of Legends of Oz.
@Minecraft Magic 28 Those were my favorite parts!
Who knew?
@@claudiataylor2955 everything makes sense now.
Remember when, on some ads of this movie someone said that Legend Of Oz was considered “This year’s Frozen”?
Yeah.
RUDDI Animations frozen is 100 times better than this joke of movie.
Calling this Frozen is an insult to Disney.
At least Disney waited for Frozen to become a hit before turning it into a massive cash cow.
😂😂
Really? You have a link to the ad?
The sequel to this movie would've been called oz odyssey. I hope they changed to oz oddity.
If it's also a musical, would it be Oz Audibly?
@@WobblesandBean honestly i wouldnt be surprised if something of that nature already exists
Shady business aside, this movie was doomed to fail. And I say that as a Wizard of Oz fanatic (books and movie and everything else).
Roger S. Baum sold the rights to Dorothy of Oz under the impression that the final movie would be a very faithful adaptation of his book and a film that honored his great-grandfather’s legacy. In reality, the final product ripped his book apart, added a ton of non-sensical crap that was not Oz related at all, and mocked everything about Oz’s enduring legacy.
You don’t take a beloved property like The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and strip it of everything that made people love it, then turn around and expect everyone to embrace the cheap mockery you’ve created. If they had left the Dorothy of Oz story alone, this film would have had a chance among fans of the original book series and Roger S. Baum fans because Roger understood and appreciated his great-grandfather’s legacy and made sure his own story fit in with way these characters had been originally envisioned. But nope; they had to rip his story apart and ‘improve’ it by adding so much idiocy that it barely resembles the book.
In Gillikin County, in the Land of Oz, ancient Princess Gayelette and Prince Quelala are Glinda’s parents. They are quite old, but like their daughter, they appear younger. They love to laugh and so an estimated member of their court is The Jester, their servant. As Gayelette is a sorceress, she finds herself in possession of the vanquished Wicked Witch of the West’s magic wand, which happens to have the ghost of WWW trapped inside it. In Kansas, Dorothy has been home from Oz for a few weeks and sees an omen in the sky. She finds the silver shoes and a note from Glinda to return and save her friends. Using the shoes, Dorothy and Toto find themselves in Gillikin County in Oz and meet Wiser, a talking owl who befriends them. After a mishap in Candy County and a bit of info dumping, Dorothy and co trek to the Ruby Palace to save Glinda’s parents whom are being held by the possessed Jester, whom the ghost of the WWW has taken over. Along the way, Dorothy makes new friends and rescues some old ones. And it is Dorothy who defeats The Jester by simply reminding him that his purpose is to make others happy, which gives him the strength to break the witch’s spell. Everything returns to normal, Glinda sends Dorothy home. The end.
The Jester was poorly portrayed in the film, making him more sinister than he really was. Jester was never an outright villain in the book. That was not the point of his character. His arc was about how a moment of weakness can lead to corruption of even the happiest of souls. Yes, he used the wand to do some bad things. But he was possessed by the ghost of a true sadistic-the Wicked Witch of the West.
The film missed another point by modernizing and complicating the Kansas story. Fake IDs in 1900? Dorothy in a denim romper and cowboy boots? Um NO. Absurd. The Kansas scenes in this film are a joke. The point of Kansas/other our world locations is to contrast the simplicity of farm life with adventures in Oz. Or, occasionally, to set up an Oz payoff. This chunk of the film is a manipulated version of the Kansas scene from Emerald City of Oz, where Dorothy and Aunt Em and Uncle Henry become permanent residents of Oz...including their beloved farm house...after a financial scare. Basically, Uncle Henry goes into deep debt trying to rebuild the farmhouse after it was destroyed by the tornado in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Unable to pay the creditors back, Henry and Em are scared that Dorothy will be taken from them if they lose the house. So Dorothy asks Ozma and Glinda if her family can just move to Oz. Her wish is granted. The film just takes the house threat part, once again completely missing the point. Dorothy’s future was the point. Being able to keep her. Losing the house meant losing their niece.
The voice casting also hurt this film’s chances. I’m sorry to be so harsh, but Lea Michelle was the worst possible choice they could have made for Dorothy. In my opinion, she is not as good an actress as she is given credit for, and her singing voice lacks emotional connection to the material. For me, she was the worst part of Glee. And the idea of her being able to pull of a role made famous by Judy Garland is laughable. She was set up to fail and she did. Sadly, the core three voice cast wasn’t much better. Great actors in their own right, they could not embody these parts at all. Because the soul of the story was missing, the character development hardly there.
The songs were awful. A huge blow to any musical Oz film. I honestly don’t remember a single one. Couldn’t even recall the lyrics a minute after the song ended. Utterly forgetful.
I honestly wonder if all these bad choices were made on purpose. Did the brothers want this film to bomb? A la The Producers...
They should be flogged with a cat’o nine tails for this mockery of an Oz film. And sent to jail for defrauding their investors and the Baum family!
I hope Roger gets the rights back one day and hooks up with true Oz fans to make the real Dorothy of Oz.
Kailyn S things are heating up in the wizard of oz fandom
Maybe he could let me rewrite the animated Dorothy of Oz film! I would know just who to cast for it. November 30, 2019, 4:33pm
"But nope; they had to rip his story apart and ‘improve’ it by adding so much idiocy that it barely resembles the book." Did they all take stupid pills the morning they wrote it? November 30, 2019, 4:37pm
That isn't a comment this is an entire essay
So the jester was more like Spinel..
Another of my favorite quotes regarding the movie is this: "It only gave us embarassment and NIGHTMARES all thanks to the horrors of Puppet Glinda!"
Im So Lucky I Never Wacth That Movie . And I So Relief I Am a Disney , Pixar, Ghibli , And Kpop Fan .
I always thought the jester doing his Heath Ledger cosplay was downright freaky
I saw the Legend the Oz in THEATERS and I haven’t seen it in YEARS, now I don’t remember anything what happened in the movie. Why did I like this movie :(
Yeah you’re right, I should watch these movies instead of this, thanks for the tip :)
same here..i only skipped the songs when it came out on redbox
Teabs V. Huh
Same
Wow. I only saw it because it was on ABC3, freetv digital channel, last year, so didn't even have to pay to watch it.
And thank goodness for that.
This movie is utter garbage and what I've learned from this video just makes it even shittier
Just remember, the Emerald City was only "green" because of the tinted glasses.
Very appropriate.
Retconned in later books
And there are 14 books
legends of oz is actually based on an official spin off Oz novel series written by Baum's great grandchildren. its a really niche series and i think its been out of print for over a decade now, but it was pretty popular with the small fanbase it had for being consistent and expanding on the already vast world of Oz and the characters
"But I will give credit to how it stands out from all the other Wizard of Oz Movies: It is the most traumatizing...." - Ok Clearly someone didn't grow up with "Return To Oz."
@AT Productions It's not just the animation. Several characters get turned into really creepy looking puppets and we see some dolls get shattered only for their pieces to continue blinking and moving. Still not as scary as Return To Oz.
@@PaulSebert Return to Oz is better than this crap.
@@robertstephen8372 It certainly is. But it also gave nightmares to an entire generation.
@@PaulSebert that it did.
@@robertstephen8372 that's a grave understatement
Foodfight was fun to look into ? ...
I agree
The movie is crap
But the progress is more interesting than this.
I agree. I’ve seen bad animated films over the course of 40 or so years. The Disney direct-to-video sequels are garbage. “Journey Back to Oz” sucks, the Phoenix Games/Dingo Pictures titles were also trashed including Disney rejects, and a bunch of other bad animated films.
Food Fight: *exists*
Nostalgia Critic: *6 5 M I L L I O N D O L L A R S*
Nice joke
Hi
At least The Thief and The Cobbler and Toy Story 2 had actual talent behind them. Not to mention, they didn’t think of making a franchise at first.
I've been trying to figure out for a while now why the Wizard of Oz always seems to be doomed to fail with only 1 successful movie anyone seems to give a damn about that weren't broadway shows first, and I think I finally figured out what it is: this weird tendency to turn Oz into Wonderland. Rather than focusing on elements that make Oz well Oz, they tend to focus on elements that would be better suited to Wonderland. Case in point, this is the second time I've seen a group of porcelain people in Oz despite that being an element more suited for Wonderland. Despite the talking animals and munchkins, Oz doesn't tend to really do fantastical people that much but more focus on fantastical powers and magic. For example: The famous Return to Oz rotating heads is an element from the books, since it was a series of books and this was Dorthy's second trip to Oz, but the woman herself is mostly human-ish. The candy people is also very very weird for Oz, why in the hell would Ozma (the queen/goddess of Oz) create a people made out of food?! Speaking of, why is it Ozma is never in these interpretations?! She's a very important figure, more so than the witches or even the wizard! (He's basically there for when Ozma can't rule herself) At least in the first one it's been relaid to me that Ozma was out of commission during Dorthy's first trip and that's why the wizard was involved.
But this all detracts from my point: The reason I think Oz movies tend to fail is because of a fundamental lack of understanding of what makes Oz unique and beautiful to begin with.
The China People and China Country was actually in the original Wonderful Wizard of Oz book. Dorothy and friends stumble upon the place during their journey to the South to find Glinda’s palace. For someone who is an Oz fanatic, *you* would already know that.
We all have the ability to start a crowfunding campaign: The ability to...
...Crap, wrong channel. But still, this is basically Kick-SCAMMING at its worst.
It’s surprising that this is similar to Nutcracker in 3D: Horrible movies that are huge box office bombs, making less than $20 million, and insulting people. And having terrible songs and visuals.
The difference is that Legends of Oz didn’t insult everyone
They had a budget far higher than 1994s "The Lion King", several times higher than the Ghibli masterpieces "Princess Mononoke" and "Spirited Away"..And the animation looked like utter trash.Yeah, they totally stole the fraud scheme of "The Producers"... and it worked.
And to think; there’s possibly an alternate timeline where this would become a successful franchise!
Great Scott! 😮
There are plenty of other alternative timelines, there's...
One where Food Fight is the equivalent of The Lego Movie and has beautiful animation.
Where Me And My Shadow actually happened.
Where Adult Swim actually distributed Neon Knome
Where Shrek was a failure and nobody watched it
Where Poppee the Performer can speak
Where SpongeBob was called his draft one name "SpongeBoy" with the show being called Ahoy SpongeBoy
Where Deeplight got a movie of the book, but needs subtitles because so many characters speak sign language most of the time
Where Lego Movie is just a cash grab without a good storyline
Where Nickelodeon accepted and produced Adventure Time and Fanboy and Chum-Chum went to Cartoon Network instead of the other way around
where Will Smith turned down Wild Wild West and did Matrix instead
And the one you mentioned where this film was actually good
Crazy right?
Not to mention, the movie ALSO did the inexcusable crime of not having Bernadette Peters sing in a MUSICAL about Wizard of Oz! Seriously, that's an insult to Peters' career as one of the best stage and screen actresses of all time!
Its like hiring Julie Andrews and not letting her sing. Why not?
@@LadyTylerBioRodriguez Either that was sarcasm or you really disregard two of the finest musical actresses that ever lived. Seriously, what'd be the point of getting someone like Bernadette and not do anything with her? No singing, barely acting, and mostly just a freaky puppet throughout the film.
@@joinmarch76 No sarcasm. Thats my go to example of getting someone known for something and never using said talent. Peters is one of the all time great Broadway stars and not giving her anything to sing is insane.
mmmm preach 🙌
So basically the conartist Is a self insert
Yep, i always thought that subplot stupid. What were the conartist going to do with a bunch of empty farmland in kansas? Did they think they could open a luxery hotel or a casio in the middle of nowhere?
Sell them i think though that doesn't make sense ether
"breaken the law"... ?
You've got my attention.
Wow, here I thought it was just some mediocre movie that should have gone straight to dvd or netflix.
The funny thing is, there actually is a CGI Oz TV Show not connected to this that's actually pretty good.

Personally, I LIKED "Legends of Oz", even if almost nobody else didn't, even if didn't do well at the box office and even if it WAS a scam.
I like it to but this is messed up if true.
yeah I thought it was pretty good too. I really liked the concept of the Jester as the witch's brother but also the special effects look amazing
Yes, but I guess, special effects and character designs and performance doesn't necessarily mean good movie all the time, you have to rely on its story and other important stuff like that and it'll make a good nomination at the Oscars.
Wait??? There’s a released sequel to the Norm of the North and the Tom and Jerry Wizard of Oz movies?
May god have mercy on us all.
From what I understand, that Tom and Jerry one was good, or at least better than it ought to have been. With the whole copy the original thing out of the way they could at least tell an actual story this time.
Alpha and Omega too.
at least (in my opinion) the tom and jerry movie was ENTERTAINING
@@janmikhailgaid4562 eight of them 😐😐😐😐
Looking at the footage of the movie and hearing the story, I now find it funny that Dorothy's "Oz lesson" she returns home with is stopping scammers. I'm just going to let that sink in while Animat recites the creators' blame blog in Shakespearean again at 17:32.
(Edit:) He took the words right out of my mind lol, still true
I remember seeing a poster for this movie and maybe a trailer.
I was in The Wizard of Oz as a munchkin (I was 10) in 2013 and I remember somebody saying somthing about "They're making another Wizard of Oz movie!" And all of us munchkins getting excited. I looked it up on IMDb, thought "oh cool", and then never heard about it again.
Hearing this backstory, I'm getting flashbacks to Kasanoff
I really feel bad for the people that took a chance on them but ended up scammed and also kinda the people that worked sincerely on this
It was actually good timing you made a video about the Legends of Oz movie, since I recently rewatched your review on that movie not too long ago
Edit: HOLY COW! I had not expected to get a lot of likes. Thank you all very much.
76 likes? That's nothing, come on dude.
Happy 80th anniversary to the 1939 Wizard of Oz movie!
I remember my mom taking me to see this movie. Only two other people were in the theatre with us.
A few months ago, my family went to the movies see the new Tom and Jerry movie, and there was no one there. Makes sense due to the virus, and while the movie was pretty terrible, at least we watched a movie with no brats screaming.
..it's pronounced hai·pur·buh·lee ..not hyperbowl ..sorry pet peeve, but good video regardless
Heh, yeah, animat is not known for his good pronunciation.
Wobbles and Bean I think it’s because he’s a francophone Canadian. I am too. We actually pronounce it “hyperbowl” in French.
Personally, my favorite of the Oz books is The Patchwork Girl of Oz and I am beyond disappointed no one has animated it. I'd love to see the glass cat in motion.
I guess the moral of the story is:
Watch out for shady people if you are considering investment in a project such as an animated feature length film.
Them: even if it’s bad, we’ll make sequels
The movie: bad
Them: ya I’m leaving, I’m gone.
“It is the most traumatizing.”
*shows Return to Oz immediately after*
That’s a bit debatable.

So this is like a mini animation look back to a terrible film. You know this really would be a good ticket for you to get out of doing future lookbacks on some films that are really terrible.
Alan Oliva Or Mini Lookback on short lived studios like the WB movies in the 90s and early 2000s.
@@chillplayer1234 I would say yes. Although one idea he might combine the studio with the later films like the LEGO movie to Small Foot.

I would rather listen to Despacito (one of least favorite songs of all time) on a loop than watch this movie in need of uthanization. To this day I still regret watching this shit heap in theaters
Captain CopperBeard you saw this in theatres?
I was curious. But I guess you can say curiosity killed the cat. I still regret it to this day
We have WIcked, and the Wizard Of Oz Broadway musical, we don't need a Dorothy's return musical.
The Wiz (1975): "Am I nonexistent?"
Note: It was a Broadway musical first before the 1978 film and the 2015 live television special and won 7 Tony Awards, including the big prize, Best Musical.
Hanazuki has a better chance of becoming a franchise, and it's stuck in a Hiatus that Hasbro started.

I Saw This Movie In Theaters........... So Many Regrets
The way you talk is really fascinating to me lol. When you’re getting animated about something, your voice goes way UP and very high pitched/squeaky and then back to normal. I love it haha
Great video btw!

pay no attention to those men with the account books--
3:25 Did you know? "Journey Back to Oz" was by Filmation, the same studio that brought us "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe", "She-Ra", "Star Trek: the Animated Series", and what you might be familiar with, "Happily Ever After", and "Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night"
I remember watching this once as a kid when it was on Netflix or some other similar streaming service. I remember finding it weird even as a kid, who knew there was so much history behind some sequel to a movie about a bunch of random new characters saving a bunch of other characters while defeating a clown
This is basically the Action 52 of Animated movies. LOL
This movie was basically a Springtime For Hitler. Also, I loved how you used music from RETURN TO OZ (I love David Shire's score).
Wolf of Wall Street fits WAY too much with what you describe. CREEPY.
I don't remember much about the movie itself, but I do remember when I went to go see it in theaters as a child I got a sticker sheet and small movie poster...... I dunno. I feel like it says something when I all I remember about this movie is the free merch I got and absolutely nothing else.
Literally everyone:
AniMat: Man, this movie is so bad, it should be illegal!
This video:
I never thought about William Shakespeare writing an angry comment for a negative review to a movie he liked, because he lived and died 3 centuries before movies existed, and 4 centuries before UA-cam existed...but I still understand your joke about David Yancy, an investor, being overly dramatic and talking in a way that Shakespeare would talk.

I now want to see the reality where this movie actually got two sequels and a TV show.
Damn I remember seeing this in cinema, it was sooo bland, the only interesting part was the end fight. They did have a website though and constantly promoted the actors in it
Patrick Stewart: my agent is so fired
I dunno. Between King of Texas and Star Trek Nemesis and Dune, I think he's been in both worse and more troubled and more bizarre.
He rehired him and got him on Picard.
I made a new theory about why the Oz movie bombed at the box Office, because it was release a year after it premiere on the Annecy International Animation Film Festival and then A few months later, they forgot this movie existed.
“You can make more money with a flop than with a hit.”
The making of this movie would have made such an interesting movie by itself.

I actually saw some of that film at an Oz Festival in Indiana. My dad and I both agreed it was more of a Saturday morning cartoon series, rather than “a movie”. I met the author and he gave me a signed copy of the book it was based on. And it was ten times better than the movie. (Also, you give Bernadette Peters part in your movie, and she doesn’t sing? Shame on you movie!)
There was an actual Saturday morning cartoon of The Wizard of Oz in the late 80s. It was light years better than this.
Galactic Glitter The Oz Kids was lightyears beyond this movie!
The only thing i remember about this movie is that the jester is cursed to always have a jester outfit. Mind you i never watched this movie at all.

Dang, I could totally make it as a movie investor. I always know if a movie’s going to be a major flop-and an animated Oz sequel has flop written ALLLLLL over it.
And I guess it's true what they say; under the right circumstances a producer could make more money with a flop than they could with a hit!
Dude your voice goes up so high it's insane

Hyperbole is pronounced high-per-buh-lee. It's an easy word to have only ever seen writtendown, so an understandable mistake.
