(Excellent Season, Excellent Show)

『Season two had some big expectations for me, and most fans, after having seen season one. It lived up to its predecessor, continuing the fun through the entire season. Unfortunately, this is the last season as the show was cancelled. I thought the end was appropriate and actually enjoyed it quite a bit, however I do know people that would disagree.

The cast continues its amazing work, and I find myself having a new favorite character after every episode. Kristen Chenoweth deserves a little extra praise for her vocal talents which are on display occassionally throughout the series. My personal favorite song was "Birdhouse in Your Soul," a They Might Be Giants favorite of mine.

If you haven't seen this show, it is absolutely a must see. It is a very refreshing change of pace from typical mainstream television programming. In the running for my favorite television show of all time, this second season exceeded expectations. Incredibly entertaining, funny and fun!』

(The best show to be cancelled before its' time EVER)

『I love the characters, the SET DESIGN, costume design, everything. Ned&Chuck's whining followed by upbeat optimism gets a bit tiresome (and repetitive), but on the whole a great concept. What if you could revive the dead? and why don't the revived dead ever talk about what they experienced after death? is there no after life?....hmmmm.
A great show; i'm still waiting for the promised comic book that would tie up all loose ends to come out. It was promised in SEPTEMBER.』

(Too Good for TV?)

『After watching the first few episodes of TV, I thought to myself, this can't last! This is clever writing, quick and humorous patter, for what is an original concept for television. The characters are likable and the production values are more of what you might see on a feature film budget. This show is too good to be on TV.

Sadly, it was indeed cancelled. Pushing Daisies could have gone on for another season at least. Bless the producers and writers for trying to wrap up the show in the last episode, but its obvious they were being rushed to wind things up in just a few minutes. It would have been much more satisfying to be able to give the show the time it needed or a TV movie to resolve things in a civilized fashion.

All the cast put in wonderful comedic performances, but of note to me was Kristin Chenoweth as Olive Snook. Her character was crack-you-up funny one second and heartbreaking the next.

Be that as it may, we now have the final season on DVD and are able to enjoy, any time we want, what I'm sure will become a cult classic.』

(Whimsical Wonderful)

『Not really sure what the heck ABC's problem is but they seem to be cancelling all of the good shows. Samantha Who, Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money just to name a few. If they cancel Cougar Town I will lose it. It seems like if it shows potential they don't bother to see it through. If it seems too creative and doesn't deal with "real life" issues, then you can bet it is going to get the cut. We all know how "REAL" Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives are so I can understand why they have been kept around.
Pushing Daisies was one of those shows that comes along once in a while and you are just so excited for it because it is so promising and so unique. Adventurous storylines and a cast that fits together so well. Each episode was like a chapter out of a fairy tale.
THANKS A LOT ABC.』

(Too young to die!!!)

『Pushing Daisies was the most imaginative show on network TV. It's two year run was a life span too short! The DVDs can give fans some comfort...』
『Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 07/21/2009 Run time: 598 minutes Rating: Nr』
『The second season ofPushing Daisiesbecame, unfortunately, its last--abruptly wrapping one of the most beautiful and unusual love stories ever told on TV. Farewell to Ned (Lee Pace), the handsome piemaker who can restore the dead with one touch (and un-restore them with another, or else end another life in exchange). Farewell to Chuck (Anna Friel), his true love, brought back to life by Ned and therefore forever untouchable by him again. Farewell to Olive (Kristin Chenoweth), the pixie who pines for our piemaker, and also to Emerson (Chi McBride), the P.I. who partners with Ned (and Chuck and Olive) to solve murders with inside information from the briefly revived. But what a memorable sendoff this second season is: starting with bees gone wild and a shirtless Ned, paying homage toPete's Dragonin one lighthouse-centric episode, and ending with some measure of closure that comes in a 13th-episode, "we know we're canceled" rush. Like that finale, the season is not always as fully realized as its rich fairytale world, yet it still achieves genuine joy and longing. In many ways, it is a season of separation, with Olive off to a nunnery and Chuck out of Ned's apartment (for a little while, at least). Olive and Ned get to explore their potential romance, while Chuck gets some unexpected family time. This set contains several featurettes, most notably a celebration of the show's music (a character all its own) and series creator Bryan Fuller, who also brought usDead Like Me,Wonderfalls, and some ofHeroes' best episodes. ("I never know what he's going to do, and I love that," says Chenoweth.) There's also a piece on what it takes to create the colorful corpses Ned brings to life as well as the technical challenge of creating a computer-generated rhino, but the real magic of this show comes from the heart.--Stephanie Reid-Simons』

(Adventures of Dorothy)

『A spectacular boxed set of the Adventures of Dorothy and company in "The Wizard of Oz." Extras galore included. Highly recommended for children and adults of all ages!』

(A splendid updating on Blu-ray of one of the all-time classics)

『I give the new Blu-ray five stars despite being a little irritated with the lack of an option to buy a nice, single disc version of hte Blu-ray. I got all of the set through Netflix and saw it that way. I would very much like to won THE WIZARD OF OZ on Blu-ray, but I'm going to hold out for a less expensive single or two-disc edition. Mind you, I like the film; but that is what I like, the film not disc after disc of extras that for the most part are repackagings of earlier editions.OK, that is my beef, and having made it, let me move on.

The Blu-ray is a definite improvement in the overall quality of the film, though not as much as one might have hoped for if you have watched the DVD on a up-conversion DVD player. This is not a problem restricted merely to this. Most of the older classics seem to have reached the point of diminishing returns on DVD. Even epic films like John Ford's THE SEARCHERS shows minimal improvement on Blu-ray. Still, even if the improvement isn't as marked as on more recent films, it is still definite.

But frankly, I think I loved the movie just as much when I was a kid watching it on my parents' old black and white tube TV. We all know the story about the film these days, that it was a critical and box office failure when it first was released. And we know all the stories about it. Buddy Ebsen being forced to drop out of the project when the make up that was sprayed on him caused a serious lung reaction. How Judy Garland took over the role when a deal to trade Jean Harlow and Clark Gable to Warner Brothers for a film so that MGM could get Shirley Temple, a deal that fell through when Shirley Temple died. We know all the songs, all the skits, and a host of the lines. And most importantly we have experienced firsthand how the film became a hit years after its first release because of its annual showings on television, hosted by Olivia DeHavilland (which never made a great deal of sense to me, since he had no connection to the film and had spend her studio career with Warner Brothers rather than MGM). Television was responsible for THE WIZARD OF OZ being the hit it became. But despite its success in the television era, it is almost impossible to understand how it failed to become an instant classic. The songs are irresistible, the performances classic, and the art design unmatched at the time. Scene after scene is filled with one perfect touch after another, like a peacock that strolls around in the background when Dorthy and the Scarecrow meet the Tin Man for the first time. Or the way the Cowardly Lion's tail twitches all the time (it is a subtle effect, but imagine how static he would be if he tail always drooped). It is a beautifully structured film, marvelously photographed, and beautifully scripted. The entire production is magical.

And this is a film that generations share. I remember vividly the terror I felt as a child watching Dorothy's friends come after her in the witch's fortress. Nothing in my childhood scared me more than Later it was the first movie that I watched with my daughter on TV (barely verbal at the time, she for several weeks referred to the film as "Scary Apples," for obvious reasons). My daughter probably watched the movie on VHS a hundred times minimum, largely because Dorothy was at the time one of the few female heroes around (this was before the Era of Buffy), and when she and I were stranded on a ski lift that was stopped during a sudden lightening storm immediately outside Flagstaff, Arizona, I kept her calm by retelling the entire movie, no mean feat given the lightening flashing all around us (though thankfully there was little rain).

This truly is one of those classics that it is impossible to imagine going away. The film is, if anything, as popular today as it has ever been. And conversions of it into new media like this new Blu-ray will guarantee that each generation will continue to rediscover it.』

(A favorite)

『The Wizard of Oz, being the classic film that it is, deserves to be well done. I'd gotten used to seeing the substandard version and just assumed that "fuzz" was normal. I had a few film buffs with me when we first viewed the Anniversary Digital Copy [Blue-ray] and what a difference it made. We all saw things for the first time that couldn't be seen in previous video viewings. Great!!!』

(THE WIZARD OF OZ)

『LOVE THE BLU-RAY VERSION. THE DIFFERENCE IS INCREDIBLEThe Wizard of Oz (70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition with Digital Copy) [Blu-ray]』

(Nice extras but DRM prevents it from playing on my PC)

『I'd like to say the video quality was spectacular but unfortunately this Blu-ray movie won't play on my PC using ArcSoft Total Media Theater 3 Platinum. (I'm feeding it into a HDCP projector) I am just about ready to throw in the towel and buy a regular player. This may be the last Blu-Ray movie I buy. It's no wonder people are pirating movies, they play on everything!』
『In this charming film based on the popular L.Frank Baum novel, Dorothy and her dog Toto are caught in a tornado's path and somehow end up in the land of Oz. Here she encounters some memorable friends and foes in her journey to meet the Wizard of Oz who everyone says can help her return home and possibly grant her new friends their goals of a brain, heart and courage.

DVD Features:
Over 16 Hours of Wonderful Wizardry About This Movie Classic, the Life and Times of Original Author L. Frank Baum and Other Early Screen Adaptations of the Oz Books– With Such New-to-DVD Delights As a Documentary Profile of Director Victor Fleming, the TV-Movie The Dreamer of Oz Starring John Ritter, Annette O’Toole and Rue McClanahan and the 2007 Hollywood Walk of Fame Salute to the Munchkins.』
『When it was released during Hollywood's golden year of 1939,The Wizard of Ozdidn't start out as the perennial classic it has since become. The film did respectable business, but it wasn't until its debut on television that this family favorite saw its popularity soar. And whileOz's TV broadcasts are now controlled by media mogul Ted Turner (who owns the rights), the advent of home video has made this lively musical a mainstay in the staple diet of great American films. Young Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland), her dog, Toto, and her three companions on the yellow brick road to Oz--the Tin Man (Jack Haley), the Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr), and the Scarecrow (Ray Bolger)--have become pop-culture icons and central figures in the legacy of fantasy for children. As the Wicked Witch who covets Dorothy's enchanted ruby slippers, Margaret Hamilton has had the singular honor of scaring the wits out of children for more than six decades. The film's still as fresh, frightening, and funny as it was when first released. It may take some liberal detours from the original story by L. Frank Baum, but it's loyal to the Baum legacy while charting its own course as a spectacular film. Shot in glorious Technicolor, befitting its dynamic production design (Munchkinland alone is a psychedelic explosion of color and decor),The Wizard of Ozmay not appeal to every taste as the years go by, but it's required viewing for kids of all ages.--Jeff Shannon

On the discs
The 2009Wizard of OzUltimate Collector's Edition DVD has all of the material from the 2005 three-disc edition plus more. The first disc has the sharp 2005 restoration using Warner's Ultra Resolution process and an accompanying featurette on how it's done. The technicians also discuss how the sound was remixed, though that would have been more effective had it included surround-sound demonstrations (the featurette is in 2.0). Other features include a commentary track by critic John Fricke supplemented by vintage cast interviews (he offers a lot of trivia, and debunks the myth that Shirley Temple was ever close to getting the Dorothy role); profiles of nine cast members and clips of other movies they appeared in (including Toto); and the original mono track and a music-and-effects track. New for 2009 is a sing-along track that you can turn on as you watch the movie or you can select from 10 numbers to sing along with karaoke-style subtitles. The second disc has all the same material as the 2005 second disc: the Angela Lansbury-hosted documentaryThe Making of a Movie Classic; the outtakes and deleted scenes, including Judy Garland's "Over the Rainbow" reprise and the home-movie recording of "The Jitterbug"; the sketches and stills and composer Harold Arlen's home movies; the audio underscores and radio programs; the 1979 interviews with Margaret Hamilton, Ray Bolger, and Jack Haley; a lightly animated 10-minute storybook again narrated by Lansbury; 2001 and 2005 behind-the-scenes featurettes; a 1950 Lux Radio Theater broadcast; and other items too numerous to mention.

The material from the 2005 third disc is now on discs 3 and 4. New for 2009 is a 34-minute documentary on the director ofThe Wizard of Oz(and many other films),Victor Fleming: Master Craftsman; "Hollywood Celebrates Its Biggest Little Stars," a featurette on how the Munchkins got their star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame in 2007;The Dreamer of Oz, a a 1990 television movie dramatizing the life of author L. Frank Baum, played by John Ritter, and also featuring Annette O'Toole and Rue McClanahan (poor picture quality might have relegated it to the bonus material instead of being released on its own); and a 51-minute silent film from 1951,The Patchwork Girl of Oz. These new materials complement the 38-minute biography of L. Frank Baum, and the other early treatments ofThe Wizard of Oz: Of the four silent films--The Wonderful Wizard of Oz(1910, 13 min.),The Magic Cloak of Oz(1914, 38 min.),His Majesty, the Scarecrow of Oz(1914, 59 min., written and directed by Baum himself), andThe Wizard of Oz(1925, 72 min., Larry Semon)--"Scarecrow" and the 1925 film are wonderfully enhanced by newly composed and performed soundtracks that re-create what a silent-movie hall might have sounded like. The sixth treatment is Ted Eshbaum's 1933 Technicolor cartoon short which has songs and sound, and is the first depiction of Kansas in black and white and Oz in color. A fifth disc has a Digital Copy of the film (compatible with iTunes and Windows Media; download code expires 9/22/10).

The limited-edition (243,000 numbered editions) packaging is very attractive, though a bit awkward for shelf space (it's taller than a normal DVD). The large box opens to reveal a 52-page bookBehind the Curtain of Production 1060with cast bios and production notes and photos, a copy of the film's budget, a 70th-anniversary watch, and a replica campaign booklet that was intended to hype the film's release to theater owners. It's a fascinating time capsule of advance publicity for a film that is still being watched and discussed 70 years later.--David Horiuchi

(Miyazaki - not for anime lovers (only))

『Spirited Away is not related to the thousands of other anime films out there. Miyazaki is a storyteller first and foremost, weaving dramatic, comedic tales. Spirited Away, and most of the other Studio Ghibli films, are made pretty much - for everyone. If you're between 8 and 100 years old, you'll probably enjoy this film. Depending on your age, you'll see a slightly different film. Spirited away combines traditional Japanese culture, post war culture, 90s culture, magic, spirits... no robots or space creatures in this one and although Miyazaki touches on Steampunk in some of his other films, there's not really any in this film. Everyone I've ever shared this film with, young and old, has absolutely loved it. Miyazaki's use of children (or childlike characters) in the lead roles - and the fact that his films are animated, leads a lot of people to assume that these are films for children, and while they are great for children, they are certainly not kid movies. Highly suggested.』

(highly recommended)

『Spirited Away is a delightful movie about a fantastic world and a lazy little girl who gets her first job in a bathhouse for spirits. Hiyao Miyazaki, praised as the Walt Disney of Japan, has created a wonderful story, rich with magical logic and unforgettable characters, that is sure to please younger and older viewers, and told it through hand-drawn animation abounding with loving detail and living backgrounds.

Chihiro starts the movie as a listless girl lazing in the backseat of her parents' car as they move to the Japanese countryside. A shortcut through the woods brings them to a decaying theme park that mysteriously draws them in and leads them to a market stall laden with platters of delicious food, where her parents gorge themselves and turn into pigs. Chihiro ends up employed at a majestic bathhouse, run by a greedy old witch named Yubaba, where spirits come to refresh themselves. She makes friends with a dragon boy named Haku, a six-armed boiler room operator, and a mess of soot balls (remember these from My Neighbor Totoro) while figuring out a way to save her parents and return home. In the course of this, she discovers that she's a tough, resourceful little girl.

Every plot development in Spirited Away is a surprise, and the characters are more subtly drawn than the characters in a Disney feature. Yubaba's a nasty witch, but first she is the strict boss of the bathhouse. The monster No-Face can be destructive, but is shy and awkward in his crush on Chihiro.. Haku is a good person, contrary to what the employees say, but is mixed up with Yubaba, which complicates things. The Japanese feel of the movie, in the beautiful styles and textures, kimonos, bowing, and disgusted faces characters make when something icky or smelly enters the scene, also contributes to the Spirited Away experience. The soundtrack is a treat too, especially the melancholy music that plays during the dreamlike sequence when Chihiro rides the train off into the horizon formed by the sea and the sky.

Spirited Away is a lot of fun and has real heart. Regardless of whether animated movies are your thing or not, you will enjoy this one.』

("The Best I've Seen in a Very Long Time")

『Hayao Miyazaki works wonders in this spectacular film. It is a little spooky at times, but it is an amazing film out of all I've ever seen. I do not reccommend it for children under seven to eight years old, yet it is wonderful for every other age. I understood it perfectly and believe that the plot is at the perfect place between dramatic and simple. I have seen other Miyazaki films, but this one truly took my breath away and is amazing beyond amazing. If you want a perfect example of a major motion picture, choose this fantastic movie for you and your family. It's Academy Award is truly well-earned and, I believe, that this is easily one of the best films ever produced.』

(Miyazaki's Masterpiece)

『Spirited Away is an AMAZING movie, straight from a brilliant imagination. The art is beautiful, the story is captivating, and the characters feel like they are a part of you. Appropriate for any and all ages, kids to adults. If you haven't seen this movie, save yourself the rental fee and just buy it; if you have seen it, then you were probably going to buy it regardless of my review, so either way, BUY IT!!!』

(SPIRITED AWAY)

『Miyazaki's animated movie SPIRITED AWAY is an entertaining story about a modern day young Japanese girl who gets caught up by accident between the world of the living and the spirit world. This young girl learns how to grow up in a hurry and also learns to be able to stand up for herself. The story includes lessons about trust friendship and using one's wit. Some very imaginative spirits are found in this story-some from Japanese folklore. Very young children may find this story a bit too scary, but older children and adults (I'm an adult and I liked it!) should enjoy this animated feature. Lots of fun!』
『From one of the most celebrated filmmakers in the history of animated cinema comes the most acclaimed film of 2002. Hayao Miyazaki's latest triumph, filled with astonishing animation and epic adventure, is a dazzling masterpiece for the ages. It's a "wonderfully welcoming work of art that's as funny and entertaining as it is brilliant, beautiful, and deep" (Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal). SPIRITED AWAY is a wondrous fantasy about a young girl, Chihiro, trapped in a strange new world of spirits. When her parents undergo a mysterious transformation, she must call upon the courage she never knew she had to free herself and return her family to the outside world. An unforgettable story brimming with creativity, SPIRITED AWAY will take you on a journey beyond your imagination. "To enter the world of Hayao Miyazaki is to experience a kind of lighthearted enchantment that is unique to the world of animation" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). It's a fantastic tale the whole family will want to experience over and over again.』
『The highest grossing film in Japanese box-office history (more than $234 million), Hayao Miyazaki'sSpirited Away(Sen To Chihiro Kamikakushi) is a dazzling film that reasserts the power of drawn animation to create fantasy worlds. Like Dorothy inThe Wizard of Ozand Lewis Carroll's Alice, Chihiro (voice by Daveigh Chase--Lilo in Disney'sLilo&Stitch) plunges into an alternate reality. On the way to their new home, the petulant adolescent and her parents find what they think is a deserted amusement park. Her parents stuff themselves until they turn into pigs, and Chihiro discovers they're trapped in a resort for traditional Japanese gods and spirits. An oddly familiar boy named Haku (Jason Marsden) instructs Chihiro to request a job from Yubaba (Suzanne Pleshette), the greedy witch who rules the spa. As she works, Chihiro's untapped qualities keep her from being corrupted by the greed that pervades Yubaba's mini-empire. In a series of fantastic adventures, she purges a river god suffering from human pollution, rescues the mysterious No-Face, and befriends Yubaba's kindly twin, Zeniba (Pleshette again). The resolve, bravery, and love Chihiro discovers within herself enable her to aid Haku and save her parents. The result is a moving and magical journey, told with consummate skill by one of the masters of contemporary animation. MPAA Rated: PG ("Some scary moments")--Charles Solomon』
