People have been tinkering with this thing for years. There are numerous different versions, remakes, re-imaginings and just plain rip-offs. But I’ve decided to focuse on some of the more interesting ones. Notice I didn’t say “better”. I said interesting.
So here is your list – Alternate Versions of Oz.
But in 1980, realizing that the books would soon enter the public domain thereby rendering their film right’s useless, they made Return to Oz. To say that film is a “dark” take on the tale is a bit of an understatement. Picking up six months after her trip to Oz, Dorothy is obsessed with her memories of the adventure to the point of clinical depression. That’s not just hyperbole. They actually institutionalize her…and then attempt to treat her with electroshock therapy.
Granted, the film takes place almost 40-years before electroshock therapy was invented…but you have to admit the merchandising that included Mouse Ears with built-in electrodes was totally worth it.
