The Wheelers are scarier than the flying monkeys in the first Oz movie. The flying monkeys did bad things, because they had been enslaved by the Wicked Witch of the West. They were happy when Dorthy killed her. With the Wheelers you get the impression they enjoy being bad.
I respect Return to Oz more than The 1939 musical, wich I do love deeply. But Just for the simple fact when it comes to Return to oz, it stayed more true & faithful to the books. & I appreciated that. In the 80's when it came to adventure fantasy it was all about darkness & Black magic. Laybrith, The dark crystal, Star wars. So for that time it was very popular. & Even Walter murch said when he intended to make this film it was aimed for a more adult crowed. A "realistic" Land of Oz.
Wow I just discovered this song. Fan of the movie BTW. Does this song have an official video? You know what I'd really like? if the band (or some other artist doing a remix) could strike some deal with Disney and then do a video with the setting and the (non-human) characters of this movie (Fairuza Balk can make an appearance too I guess). That would be awesome!
I will tell you that both this video and Doctor Who are the reasons I love Scissor Sisters! I saw both this and the episode "Last of the Time Lords" at about the same time, and was like... 0_0 This band is GREAT! Love the vid !!
doesnt matter when i hear this song it freaks me out...dont know why...its totally great though...i think its cause i hate the second wizard of oz movie...those dudes on the wheels...eugh
I love this song so much. It reminds me of about six years ago, having met my current boyfriend and spending all our free time sitting in his car listening to music <3
I never seen return to oz. im 33 now and im surprised I never seen it. I loved the sisters song so much i decided to youtube it and I came across your video. great job. This movie is at the top of my list to rent next. thank you!
someone needs to make a video of this song that is just the ravaged faces of people who have abused crystal meth. After all, that's what the song is about.
Yes, this is going to be another comment saying: awesome job to an awesome song. This song has particular relevance for me... your video is a masterpiece. THANK YOU... nearly five years later it is still fantastic!
This video was the first on the list when I looked for the Scissor Sisters song, so I clicked. Eh... Actually I don't think taking a metaphor literally makes for a good video.
I always imagined the tale of the world of Oz almost being like an epic tale along with Lord of the Rings and such. Like there was a war among witches and the wizard. That'd be cool
Compared to the Wizard of Oz, this movie makes no sence at all....especially considering Dorothy was played by a teenager and suddenly - years LATER she's an 8 year old...
But as a singular movie, this is probably the most imaginative - and most terrifying - I have EVER seen.
this is my fav from them i saw this live the only time i saw them and they killed it. f**kn epic. one of the best shows i ever saw. ive seen a few. :)
THIS SONG IS REAL ART, not that pop-crap like justin bieber etc. one of the greatest bands of our time !!!!!!!! in 30 years i'll still remember them. EPIC
BTW dont comment me talking shit or trying to argue. Ima transexual & when I say "they" I mean gay & transgender people in my community who do drugs, party to much & have tested positive for HIV. Not just gay people get AIDS, duh. But this song is talking about a gay male. (look it up) & we do get blamed for HIV alot cuz hetrosexuals have more rights than us. making alot of people who do not identify with being straight an outcast. or alone. So they pick up on drugs leading to thier deaths:(
This is a sad song I agree. I did some research on this. Not only is it about crystal meth but about being gay & how drugs have affected the GBLT community leading to HIV AIDS. & how they as a community, because they are so small compared to the rest of society have seen alot of friends pass away because drugs,sex & the diseases it can bring if you get too caught up in it. overall cuz gay people seem to deal with alot of rejection from the world they turn to the party scene.... Sad. But true.
i wonder now thats its 4 years down the line from when the vid was posted if jake shears(from scissor sisters) ever got to watch it or got back to you about it ?
@MikeyPaniker oh well it was worth a try...was it a long shot anyway?????could you not track him down on twitter mabye (i dont know how twitter works) without coming across as a stalker...lol...cheers for vid though i loved it
@MikeyPaniker, hmmm, I guess he was just bullshitting. That sucks. Nice video. One of my fave films from my childhood.... between this movie and the weird films Don Bluth was coming out with back in the eighties and nineties (and the Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, etc.) it's no wonder I turned out to be such a strange adult.
@Lovertits9 , I don't think Jake was bullshitting me. When we had our communications though, it was before they really got HUGE. I can't blame the guy for getting busy and forgetting about my vid. I'm sure he's watched it. Someone told me they overheard Del Marquis talking about it, and that the band liked my video.
There first album was the single most greatest album composed on the planet, in my opinion, the contrast of music in each song, and how in-depth each one goes, really, hands down one of the greatest groups around! sooo wanna see them live! :D funky shows ;D
@KenzieBoyRFC its called "the return to oz" starring faruzia baulk from the movie "the craft" only she is very young in this movie ..its an awesome kids movie for its time ,it might look a bit dated now but will still amaze the kids
It still amazes me how many views and comments this old vid of mine gets. I really appreciate all of you! :) Maybe I should make another Scissor Sisters video.
@MikeyPaniker this video is just so brilliant! you must have put so much thoought time into it, and it shows. i love how you match the images with the words without being trivial (what most ppl end up doing). i think you are really talented! :)
I love love this song, but my only complaing would be the reference to "Skeksis"--which were the antagonistic characters from "The Dark Crystal", not "Return to Oz"
Never seen the film, but as for the song - I wonder who Jake Shears was listening to at the time when he did this. Pink Floyd per chance?
The chord changes in "Is this the return to Oz, the grass is dead..." is VERY Floyd. Including the instrumental. Surely there's a copyright issue here Jake?
I don't think its THAT close although there is definitely an influence. As a Pink Floyd obsessive fanatic myself, I know where you are coming from but I don't believe that is copyright infringement. In High Hopes, the lyric was "the grass was greener
The light was brighter". In Brain Damage, the lyric was "The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs, Got to keep the loonies on the path". Close, but no cigar
It's called Return To Oz, by Scissor Sisters. It's on their debut album, you should totally buy it ^_^ the whole thing is awesome from start to finish.
@MikeyPaniker in my opinion its one of the best debue albums of all time with 10 from pearl jam thanks for posting it have the album since it was released but have just bought the dvd cant wait to watch it
ps there is no Queen in Return to Oz the characters name is Princess Mombi(she's a Witch-can u see a pattern here lol)and her Character was played by UK actress Jean Marsh famed for playin Villains-the film i believe was filmed in UK at Pinewood on the largest Film lot in Europe the Bond Lot-Faruza balk plays Dorothy later to play Head Honcho in Cult Teen Classic " The Craft"another superb Film:)(thanks btw so chuffed somebody made this video sorry lol)
at last i find the holy graal of Fantasy married beautifully with the correct song since i heard this from there first Album i have wanted to see this Excellent Mickey you have created so much of what all have envisaged whn they heard this song-off to watch the film jus now infact on DVD many many thanks coz now i can see this whn evea i want Thanks again-btw did i say Thanks already lol :P
The first time I saw this in the theater (and I saw it several times before it left), when it was over, the first thing I said was "I want to see it again! NOW!"
This got TERRIBLE reviews from idiots who compared it to Wizard of Oz (which I also love, but not as much) instead of treating it as its own entity. Disney should be proud of this film and release it in Blu Ray. I'd buy a machine just for it.
Sadly, it's the only film the great Walter Murch ever directed. But what an only film!
Oh MAN! I would have killed to see Return To Oz in a movie theater. Unfortunately, I was just newborn (I was born a couple days after it went into theaters, hahaha).
Ha, yeah, toldja I was old. I was grown up when it came out. and was still enthralled.
There's one thing that DVDs/videos can never convey properly: that gorgeous opening shot with the words "Return to Oz" on the nightsky background. On film the green in the letters shimmered in a beautiful, unusual and mesmerizing way. We bought the video when it came out, then the DVD, and it looks different. Maybe if it's released on HD that subtle but astonishing effect can be seen again.
This was in the "Related Videos" of one of my Happy Rhodes trance instrumental. I don't know why, but I am SO glad it was! I yelped when I glanced over and saw it. This is one of my favorite movies and I've seen it dozens of times. I'm old enough to have seen it in the theater, and it was magical the first time, and still is.
I hadn't heard this song before, but it's beautiful and your work putting the two together is exceptional! Love your fan trailer too!
I don't know for sure, but I heard from someone that allegedly worked for the BBC that overheard Del Marquis talking about my vid. I wish I could get an actual response from the band some day! Maybe I'll burn it onto DVD and mail it to them.
Superb. Honestly, theres so many fanvids of all kinds of shows, but theres only 1 or 2 from each show/film worth watching- and this is definatley a excellent, well made one.
Mad props to you for syncing the footage of the guy winding up the EST machine just as they sing "there's a wind up man walking round and round" (at 0:48)! :-)
this was a great movie, i remember watching it when i was only 11, now im 21, but this movie was made like in the 70s or sumthin and wizard of oz like in 1920 or 30s :O long before our parents were even born, damn.
think i had nightmares for a year after i first saw all the heads part

The first time I saw this in the theater (and I saw it several times before it left), when it was over, the first thing I said was "I want to see it again! NOW!"
This got TERRIBLE reviews from idiots who compared it to Wizard of Oz (which I also love, but not as much) instead of treating it as its own entity. Disney should be proud of this film and release it in Blu Ray. I'd buy a machine just for it.
Sadly, it's the only film the great Walter Murch ever directed. But what an only film!

Oh MAN! I would have killed to see Return To Oz in a movie theater. Unfortunately, I was just newborn (I was born a couple days after it went into theaters, hahaha).
Best movie ever, in my opinion.

(Oooops)
Ha, yeah, toldja I was old. I was grown up when it came out. and was still enthralled.
There's one thing that DVDs/videos can never convey properly: that gorgeous opening shot with the words "Return to Oz" on the nightsky background. On film the green in the letters shimmered in a beautiful, unusual and mesmerizing way. We bought the video when it came out, then the DVD, and it looks different. Maybe if it's released on HD that subtle but astonishing effect can be seen again.

This was in the "Related Videos" of one of my Happy Rhodes trance instrumental. I don't know why, but I am SO glad it was! I yelped when I glanced over and saw it. This is one of my favorite movies and I've seen it dozens of times. I'm old enough to have seen it in the theater, and it was magical the first time, and still is.
I hadn't heard this song before, but it's beautiful and your work putting the two together is exceptional! Love your fan trailer too!

I don't know for sure, but I heard from someone that allegedly worked for the BBC that overheard Del Marquis talking about my vid. I wish I could get an actual response from the band some day! Maybe I'll burn it onto DVD and mail it to them.

how do you know them
super65man 2 years ago
I don't. I sent Jake the email though back before they got really big, and he replied to fan emails.
Apparently they know about me and my vid though, because allegedly Del Marquis said the band liked it. But I don't know that for sure.

wingINTELLIGENCEmb 2 years ago
No, it's not a horror film. It's a Disney adventure film, but it's a little dark/twisted.

Mad props to you for syncing the footage of the guy winding up the EST machine just as they sing "there's a wind up man walking round and round" (at 0:48)! :-)
