- Return to Oz (Oz, un mundo fántastico en España y Regreso a Oz en Latinoamérica) es una película estrenada el 21 de junio de 1985 por Walt Disney Pictures.
- Return to Oz was a 1985 movie released by Disney based on the original Oz books by L. Frank Baum. It is not a musical and darker than the 1939 MGM classic The Wizard of Oz.
- Return to Oz is a 1985 film which is the unofficial sequel to Victor Fleming's The Wizard of Oz. It was made by Walt Disney Pictures without the involvement of MGM, the studio that made the 1939 film. No approval was necessary, because by 1985, the Oz books on which the film was based were in the public domain. A large fee was paid, however, to use the ruby slippers, which were still the intellectual property of MGM at the time (the rights to the 1939 film and all elements now rest with Time Warner).
- (The Disneycember logo is shown, before showing clips from Return to Oz) Doug (vo): Well, I've talked about this film a ton of times, now I'm gonna talk about it again. Return to Oz. This has started to get a cult following as that film that's scared the shit out of you as a little kid, but we all really liked. And...yeah, that's kind of my memory, too. I don't remember being so scared that I was crying at this film or anything, but, yeah, I do remember it being pretty damn creepy and unsettling. But it was okay, because it drew me back in with such a nice main character and such nice side characters, and a lot of creativity, and...yeah. You know what? I really like this flick, even if it does have a lot of dark, creepy elements. Speaking of which, let's look at the story.
