The Wizard of Oz: 70th Anniversary Collectors' edition DVD prize draw is now closed
The Wizard of Oz has charmed and thrilled audiences for seven decades with its timeless music and truly heart-warming story. Now, you have an opportunity to be a part of the film as never before with a special sing-along edition. Saga has teamed up with Warner Home Videos to offer five lucky readers the chance to win a copy
Based on a 1900 children’s novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L Frank Baum, The Wizard of Oz received five Academy Award nominations on release. It won the Oscar for Best Original Score and Best Original Song and also gained a special award for Outstanding Juvenile Performance by a sixteen-year-old girl who quickly earned her reputation as "the world’s greatest entertainer". Put Judy Garland and Over the Rainbow together and you have, as her daughter Lorna Luft says, "The most perfect song in one of the most perfect movies ever made."
The film has grown since its 1939 release into a phenomenon that almost no other movie can rival. The Wizard of Oz made history with its network television premiere in the USA in 1956: nearly 45 million people tuned in, marking the beginning of an annual tradition now familiar to both sides of the Atlantic.
With this release’s brand new sing-along feature, you can now join in and be right in the action: dreaming of beyond the rainbow, wishing for a brain, being the King of the Forest and following the Yellow Brick Road.
The Blu-ray release includes nearly four hours of all-new, never-before-available bonus features, as well as bringing the visual splendour of The Wizard of Oz to the hi-definition world of blu-ray disc.
This ideal Christmas gift purchase will be available in feature-packed DVD or Blu-ray box sets, or as a single-disc DVD. A special 4-discs box Collectors' Edition version will also be available at Harrods. Set in a sumptuous velvet-effect outer box and including 10 art cards and a 16-page booklet, the box not only contains the film in standard and sing-along versions, but also hours of added content including documentaries and interviews.
The Wizard of Oz, Collectors' Edition Sing-Along Version – 3 Discs Blue Ray release, RRP £22.99 Warner Home Video.
