I dozed off about 30 minutes in. I hope my tv wasn't counted in the ratings.😄

Another remake. How original.

Hardly, I'd go as far as a "knock off" and a crappy one at best. The audio is muddy, the lighting dark and gloomy. Three and a half years to produce this derek and all I can think of is WHY DID THEY BOTHER?

What was the targeted audience? The blind and the deaf?

I checked it out on IMDB and the universal review was "don't bother"!

Regards,
GtG
PS I saw the original in 1943 and have a photo of me with a Munchkin taken near Christmas 2008!

All the main characters have been “humanized”, I think.

Based on the premiere (I liked it, sue me.), I suspect the leader of the Wizard’s guard that was sent after Dorothy (the long-haired guy with the armor) is the Lion.
