The Witches of Oz (2011– )
1/10
Worst Oz Adaptation of all time
19 September 2011
Warning: Spoilers
This is just so awful I can't even begin to describe it. This is BY FAR worse than Return to Oz, The Tinman, The Wiz and all the other horrendous Oz adaptations I've seen outside the 1939 film. If you are an Oz purist - I suggest staying clear.

Cheap budget (I think someone just took some Mortal Kombat arcade animations and shoved them in here), wooden acting, atrocious dialogue and a story that defecates all over the Oz universe.

What began as a promising story (picking up where Return to Oz attempted) with Dorothy going about her life in the "real world" thinking that Oz was only a fantasy, turned into a complete farce with Dorothy becoming Uncle Henry's Aunt in one of many ridiculous plot twists.

If you want to see your original favourites turn into your worst nightmares, a scarecrow who resembles a man with a paper bag on his head with a crayon face, Dorothy hitting on one of the Hobbits from Lord of The Rings in a Manhattan bar, and the death of Uncle Henry, go ahead... otherwise, AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

L. Frank Baum is turning in his grave.
