The Wizard of Oz

Just got done watching The Wizard of Oz (1982), the anime version of the classic story, and this is easily the best version of the Wizard of Oz since the 1939 classic.

Positives for The Wizard of Oz (1982): While the movie does tell the same story as the 1939 classic with some changes in the narrative, this is easily the most engaged I have been with a movie adaptation of this classic story. The animation in this movie looks phenomenal from start to finish, then again I tend to love the Japanese anime style a lot. I also like how this movie doesn't take the musical route and instead takes the straightforward route with the story. And finally, I really appreciated some of the changes to the story as it makes this movie stand out on its own.

Overall, The Wizard of Oz (1982) is the movie adaptation of the classic story that I've been waiting to watch since the 1939 musical classic and I highly recommend this movie especially you're a fan of anime.
