REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Fri., Nov. 6, 1998
This marvelous spectacle should be experience in a theatre, the way it was meant to be seen. (But even though the MPAA has doled out a G rating, do remember how truly scary all those flying monkeys and melting witches can be on young, impressionable eyes.) Click those ruby slippers and be off to see the Wizard.
