lux radio theater Wizard of Oz : DVD features review part 21

part 21 of this great DVD features reviews go on with a review of the Lux Radio Theater Broadcast Wizard of Oz.


must say this was neat to listen to felt like I went back in time to 12/25/1950 which was the day this aired on the radio what even more great Judy garland did the voice of Dorothy for this as for the others it was unknown who played the other parts but they did sound funny too like when they meet the tin man when he asked for the oil can  sound like he was taking a dump which was funny this theater radio broadcast last only a hour with a few breaks that good time for Wizard of oz play but note they did skip a few parts because they had a hour but they did add a few new stuff which was cool it was indeed worth the time listen to Lux Radio Theater Broadcast Wizard of Oz and again having Judy there as well made this more awesome check out this awesome Radio Theater Broadcast below you will like it as I did maybe.

its Sunday and this is the last trailer review of the wizard of oz its been fun looking at all the trailers within the last week and review  them but after tonight we are moving on to the next features of this great boxset to review so lets get this review underway shell we.

 this trailer was release back in 1998 as a re-issue trailer for the movie back in theaters with sound and picture upgrade it was indeed a great well put together trailer to get you to go see it in theaters I remember see it on TV back in the days but never got a chance to see it in theaters  but I did see it on dvd or VHS years later after this trailer came out trailer does give any some spoilers too but that what most trailers do right this one starts with the words the house being to pitch and from there it took off great not much more to say so lets go down to my final thoughts.



final thoughts

as we keep rolling though the trailers of wizard of oz on DVD features after this review will be the final Trailer review  on Sunday before we head to the next section of this great Wizard of Oz Boxset so lets get on to the next trailer review.



this next one was a Re-issue trailer for the Wizard of oz for the Children  that was release in 1970 it was a Matinee  Children  Trailer it was pretty much build for that very well done but can of goofing with the guy voice but trailer pretty much did a good job showing the younger children and kids what this movie will be about and there one part of the trailer that kind of goofing is the part where he says a  wizard that whizzes that can of had me laughing if you know what I mean the way he said  it  sounds funny and odd otherwise it is a good clean trailer for kids hopefully this trailer is still watch bye kids and children today to get them ready to watch the movie this was ok trailer to me .


final thoughts
if there one thing that Could of left out it was the wizard that was whizzes but that me watch below the trailer and see if sounds goofing or not.

8.6 out of 10 for goofing

Its Friday again hope everybody Friday is going well as my is and what a way to start off this weekend with my review of another trailer for the Wizard of oz.  after see this one it was very interesting with the way they made this with a colorful marketing of showing cartoon pictures of the cast without saying who they are  playing just there names and who they are its also one of trailer to try to get you go see it  like if your fighting with the one you love go see this movie to solve the problem which I like how they did with that I am sure this movie help cure many problems bye see it. I must say this is another well done trailer with colors and words on it and everything else is  good for Grownup trailer for the Re-issue Wizard of Oz back in 1949.
