Even by the standards of allowance-snatching half-term filler, this is pretty indifferent ... Go to Full Review Anna Smith Empire Magazine 05/18/2014

Carping on a film clearly targeted to 5-year-olds might seem unjust, but the filmmakers go about their business in such a lazy fashion that the viewer can't help but feel irritated by the whole ordeal. Go to Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 02/01/2021

JAGGER H @RT17598797 Mar 31 The movie was straight buns and the only reason I watched it was for a school project where I watch the 5 worst movies according to rotten tomatoes and this was one of them. The movie had new useless side characters especially the owl character he like 5 minutes of lines and never said anything else and the jester sucked as a villain he was boring and annoying and the human characters look ugly for a 70 million dollar movie and the writing and I wished Dorothy and her uncle and aunt got evicted 4/10 See more Қазақ М @RT54644452 Mar 28 The movie is good but it's different from wicked of witch that's like why I reilize but I like character design See more Kelly M @RT84171028 Dec 17 Terrible because it has got forgettable characters and a terrible villain the original wizard of Oz is so much better than this horrible movie the new characters are called Wiser, Marshellmellow and China Princess and the tin man scarecrow and cowardly lion are not really part of the story at all terrible movie 1/10 See more Tim M @tgmacman 12/08/2024 With lackluster animation and banal storytelling, Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return is one trip over the rainbow viewers will regret taking. See more Артем Б @RT17586463 04/01/2024 I couldn't watch this movie for a long time, but when I finally got the chance to watch it and watched it, I realized to my surprise that this movie is not good. The only scene I remember in this movie is the fight at the end, it was very interesting, but most of the movie was boring and tasteless, so I definitely do not recommend watching it.The whole film is like some separate work that has no connection with any movie or any book of Oz.There is absolutely nothing interesting about this movie, the animation is outdated and the plot is very predictable.And then why is it called "Dorothy's Return"? It's more like a second part that didn't have a first part. See more Cyrus K @Keyflame626 12/10/2022 At least some of the designs in the movie are pretty good and are visually OK. But yeah that doesn't help the movie in the slightest! See more Read all reviews
