Wonderful Wizard of Oz Intro

[MDthornton83]

I absolutely love the intro song for this show. I used to watch this show years ago back in between the late 80s and the early 90s on HBO. This show is without a doubt a timeless classic.

I wish they explored all the other books as they did them a lot of justice using up 13 eps for the 4 books they covered. Almost wish they were more accurate as I was surprised to read the second and find, unlike the series, Dorothy had nothing to do with it. This was always an early morning favorite before headed to school. Lost cable before I could tape them all and lost the only full tape I had. Somewhat aggravating they only released the 90 minute films to DVD and made them obscure as Hell.

@exposed97 Japan always WAS on the cutting edge of technology and artwork. I have my own theory that instead of spending time on film like Godzilla their efforts were focused in Animation. It is the same with their tech. I'd bet I could go back in time 20 years and It would be very similar to all the modern devices we'd have today.

[britishgoose01]

What is this song...i cant find it anywere!!!!! I need it!!!!

[KarlBonner1982]

First saw it on HBO in 1990 when I was 8 years old and was hooked. Was much more suspenseful and epic than the famous 1939 movie; it's too bad the series didn't continue into the later Oz books.

[Pruefan26]

I used to love this as a kid. it has a very good intro song

[Topolab]

Wow. Takes me back.

[63demonicmonster63]

[2468kiddy]

Creepiest cartoon ever I remember watching this show when I was younger and it actually scared me. Actually a lot of cartoons used to scare the opening theme to the X-Men cartoon used to scare me.

[davidduke180]

what is the name of this song???

[milkbluemilk]

this cartoon series was amazing! also because it featured all the tales of oz.

[pohsideuhn]

I loved this cartoon when I was younger. =)

[Lundarigirl]

Oh man this takes me back. I loved this cartoon as a kid.

[danbarker39]

oh, ok, sorry.

[danbarker39]

Directed by Tim Reid, that's not the same tim reid from SISTER SISTER, is it?

[Davaice]

@danbarker39 No, it is a different man - the Tim Reid that directed Oz is on IMDb as Tim Reid (III)

[danbarker39]

Who's the singer? sounds like Donna Summer.

[Davaice]

@danbarker39 The song is by a band called The Parachute Club

[britishgoose01]

@Davaice is it??

[hmbnimbus]

I used to love this as a kid, also used to freak me out too.

[dittbub]

So trippy, I haven't seen this since I was 4, and it used to weird me out when i was 4.

[JustinRedshirt]

One of my all time favorites :)

[thevoice11]

Wow...I used to watch this when I was probably about 7 years old or something. Used to be on Channel 4 in the UK at about 6:30am. I always remembered this intro song!

[scottjaction]

What's the name of the song in this opening?

[Rikasha1]

I watch it on tv on channel called THIS, its on at 4:30am or around that time.

[munumoo]

some episodes are still online at jaroo (google search it) but they've removed eps 1-11

[dregoth22]

any news of this being put on dvd?

[Vedelminashigo]

The box set is on Amazon now so check that out, looks cheap too.

[kipptumor]

I was pissed when this took the place of Robinson Sucroe on "This" in the morning, but it's grown on me now. I like how they follow the books and not simply regurgitate the MGM interpretation.

[morganseathomson]

woah! they used computer graphics at the beginning.

[kipptumor]

This might be a re-made intro. The original might have been different when it aired.

[morganseathomson]

this is the one I remember, I just didn't realize it was computer graphics at the time. This is like 5 years before reboot, so I'd never thought about it... also I was 4.

[ToasterPig]

This is indeed the original intro (sort of)

Its an intro that they put together using computer graphics and clips from the show. It's what they used for the english version of the show.

Being an anime, chances are the show had a different intro for the Japanese version.

[kipptumor]

Oh yeah - I have seen the Japanese intro before.

[Davaice]

Hey everyone - the full series is being posted online by The Cookie Jar Company - formerly Cinar. Just Google search Jaroo to find them. Unfortunately they have now removed episodes 1 and 2 but you can currently watch from episode 3 onwards, plus they have posted the first feature length.

[joshmeister4449]

hmmmm if u look at the lions nose, it looks like the outsiders nose's in the lion king 2

[SuperAang626]

I was about 2 when this came to the UK but I was 4 or 5 by the time it finished so I can JUST remember it! I believe it was the very first Anime like cartoon I ever had seen and now that I've seen the intro it brings back memories of when I used to watch it when I was 4 to 5. I actually miss it, too bad you can't get all the original episodes that haven't been cut on DVD in english.

[kipptumor]

This lame cartoon is on instead of Robinson Sucroe now. Sorry, but I just think Sucroe was a lot more fun than this. Dorothy really bugs me in this too.

[ciaranhaggerty]

i used to watch this early on a thursday morning....never seen the end of the series though.

[tgsolda716]

i would watch this every morning before school. this really brings back memories. i wish the whole series was on here :-(

[MochaSkies]

This brings back memories. I had this on tape but it got ruined. I loved this as a child.

[keshluvsladies]

PLEASE POST THIS SERIES SOMEBODY!!!

[bcraig5]

Nobody has the whole series. They pretty much cut the whole series into 90 min movies.

[chrisliam2]

love this song best oz adaption ever

[chrisliam2]

i have this on dvd but i swear there were other episodes that never made it to video or dvd

[Davaice]

Yeah, there were 52 episodes which (in English at least) have only ever been released as 4 90 minute feature lengths, so a great deal was lost in the edit.

However, you can find the complete series in a number of other languages.

[chrisliam2]

where would i be able to find the other episodes i just tried looking on youtube but im not having much luck any help would be great

[keshluvsladies]

can you post the series or send me the files??

[Pruefan26]

where can i find the last episoude?

[Davaice]

In English, no where as yet. In French, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, etc. on DVD.

[Pruefan26]

i loved this as a kid but never saw the one where she went home

[zackmateriahunter]

Maan, I used to watch this when I was barely 10. Brings back such awesome memories. :D

[bradjl82]

i remember watching this b4 school back in the late 80's!! lol

[wingy2k7leavers]

still remember watching this show like it was yesterday , here in the UK it was broadcasted on channel 4 from 1994 untill 1997 at 3:00pm every weekday =]

loved it and now im 18 i still love watching it haha

sad aint i oh well

[EnforcedWarwick]

Yeah this theme as well as this cartoon certainly brings back a lot of memories. I wonder who sings this song? This person has a very good voice! Excellent! I am happy to see a cartoon from my childhood. I feel like I am going back in time will this version of The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz ever be released on DVD? Take care.

[98slbrookes98]

Hi

Thuis was my favourite show and still is. Unfortunately when I was eight I got obsessed with it as it was the only show I watched as a result of which it was taped over though I ingeniously preserved one tape but now as an adult, I enjoy lots of other shows equally so there is no problem. Any chance of it comming out on Region 2 at any point?

[wishingstar22]

I loved this show. Always tried to catch it Sunday mornings. (Wasn't easy since I had church. lol)

[Alyxwrites]

I think there was a movie for this... and I have somewhere in my house. I love it because I just love The Wizard of Oz

[cheesegoggleboy]

Who is the owner of the English release. is it still Cinar? I thought they were dead. Maybe whomever they are holding out for more support. This seems crazy because anyone interested in a box-set of heavily edited discs would want the actual thing its like one painfully acute trailer.

[cheesegoggleboy]

Does anyone know about this show besides that they loved it? Cindication, Dvd release, etc...?

[Davaice]

Sure, I am launching a website about it soon. As far as I am aware, no where is televising the show now or any time soon. However, you can buy the four feature lengths on DVD and the entire series in French and Japanese. The owner of the English language home release rights has no plans to release the entire series.

[royaljoker2468]

can u post this whole entire movie plz

[Davaice]

Sadly I feel I would be breaking many laws if I were to do that :-)

[viperomega3095]

I do not think you would be breaking laws. As long as there is no personal gain (money) it is alright. I have found many full length movies on youtube, posted in parts and they are still on here. Ernest Goes to Camp, Alice in Wonderland and CareBears are a few I found. Think it over, I'm sure many people on youtube would enjoy it.

[joev688]

LOVE THIS SHOW! LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

[spacemanspiff33]

this show always gave me the mega creeps when i was a kid. I knew it was different but i had no idea why....and it freaked me out!!!

[hmbnimbus]

That makes two of us mate, it was overly cheerful like the intro music yet so damn creepy at times... weird as a 8yr old anyhow.

[mentallysane02]

LOVE THIS SHOW!!!
