An excellent sequel to the 1939 film "The Wizard of OZ"

At first, I have never even heard of this film, nor that this film is intended to be a sequel to the 1939 live action film "The Wizard of OZ." I've bought it on DVD, and I after watched it, I found an excellent sequel film; though I was shocked and surprised by the negative reviews I would see on the web.

I love the talents of Paul Lynde, who played Uncle Arthur from TV's live-action comedy "Bewitched;" and Liza Minnelli, who provided the voice of Dorothy, reprising the role originally played by her mother Judy Garland. And she DOES sound a lot like her mother, when said "You wicked old witch!" I love Judy; I have a few of her films.
