★★★★ · The commentary version · Spuzz · 2014-03-25

This silent film seems to be a rerelease for schools, with a soundtrack and commentary. While it may be deterring, it's somewhat helpful to explain what's going on, as there are characters here that I wouldn't know who on earth they were unless they were explained to me. (Like, how I was I supposed to know Dorothy would be stuck in Oz?). The costuming is pretty good. The Lion really stands out. Very good for what it is.
