The Wonderful Land of Oz / Jack and the Beanstalk
Editorial Review:
Description
Take a musical, fun-filled trip to "The Wonderful Land of Oz" (1969) when a boy named Tip and his magic jack-o-lantern-faced friend, Jack the Pumpkinhead, escape from the evil witch Mombi and head to the Emerald City. But oh no! The city is being invaded by an army of "naughty girls" led by bratty General Jinjur who wants to remove The Scarecrow from the throne. With the help of the Tin Man, Glinda the Good Fairy, a flying sofa, and a saucer-eyed creature called a Wogglebug, Tip comes to the Scarecrow's aid--until Mombi reveals a secret that will change everything in Oz. Full of colorful characters and wild Sid-and-Marty-Krofft-flavored art direction, this is a surprisingly delightful kiddie klassic filmed at a once-upon-a-time Florida amusement park! Then "Jack and the Beanstalk" (1970) comes to life when "Honest John, Used Cow Salesman" trades Jack's cow for some magical beans that grow into a sky-high stalk, carrying singing Jack up to a castle in the clouds complete with a "Fee-Fi-Fo-Fumming" giant and a mechanical hen that lays golden eggs. Go back to those wonderful days of the kiddie matinee when the Saturday afternoon show was full of raucous schoolkids and all seats cost only 25 cents!

The Below Review.......2004-11-16
Astoundingly CHEAP!!.......2003-02-04
The wonderful thing about this DVD is that it contains probably 20 odd trailers for bottom of the barrel childrens trash epics from the 60's and 70's...and maybe even the 50's.
These trailers have to be seen to be believed. MEXICAN IMPORTS like LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD AND THE MONSTERS must have employed a crew completely on drugs. The dubbing just in this trailer alone rivals any bad dubbing I have ever seen. Your jaw will drop when you see just how profoundly disturbing this trailer is. There are no words to describe my utter sense of wonder when I watch the trailers on this disc. THE SECRET OF MAGIC ISLAND is a movie I just have to see. It features a cast of live animals doing all kinds of ridiculous things like taking showers and plotting schemes. IF YOU ARE FAN OF TRASH!! YOU MUST BUY THIS DISC IMMEDIATELY!!!
This disc is the perfect gift for that insipid child in your life who is only intelligent enough to barely comprehend POKEMON. Get the child this disc and they will hate you forever for marring their lackluster BARNEYesque existence with something they won't understand but will none the less disturb them.
