I got this movie at a Going out of Business sale at a Video Rental place, hoping that it would be a fun steampunk movie with a slew of gadgets used in the setting of Oz, but of course the only things that were even really steam powered in this movie and most were just things with gears slapped on were the Tin Man himself and some 1880's steam donkey engine models copied and pasted on a outer city background, the whole aesthetic didn't even feel steampunk at all. The story was rather boring, a girl named Victoria living in some dungeon repairing a mass of gears and pipes claimed to be a steam engine that pumps water for the city somehow, some ghost lady tells her progress is bad, she and two prisoners escape and get attacked by tailless lions and wonder into a munchkin village. Something, Something, Something, Blah, Blah, Blah, there's armymen covered in gear decals and wielding taser swords as the munchkins fly around in rockets, the bad guys send insect robots then gentlemanly-looking robots to fight, Tin Man comes out and wields his axe, the heroes go deep in the city to find Tinman's wife which I never remember hearing about before, they save Scarecrow and get the Tinman's heart, show it to him, war's over, the end.
Animation was rather cheap looking to me, one of the voice actors didn't sound like he was really in it, I feel ripped off and just gave the movie to somebody else.
