(5 stars) - Breathtaking Technicolor in Blu Ray
Like many of us, I first saw Oz on TV as a kid (in my case, in the early 70s). And I have seen it many times since, usually on TV, and "improved" every few years with the latest in technology. Yes, I remember the first HQ VCRs and what a "leap" they were from prior versions. For this 70th anniversary/Blu Ray version, I was expecting something special, and it delivered, and how. Like most restored Technicolor movies from the mid to late 30's, colors are deeply saturated. Detail is rich. It was a different Oz experience than any of the others. I suspect they did something to keep colors stabilized, as other films (e.g., my GWTW restoration from a few years back--non Blu Ray) are gorgeous, but the colors shift within scenes. It's subtle, but clearly evident. For this Oz, colors are stable, I didn't observe flickering or shifting color at all. This is total eye-candy, as well as being a great film. BUY IT.

(5 stars) - Great Look for a Great Classic!!
I too went to Wal-Mart to get this blu-ray for $19.96. I was very pleased at how this blu-ray looks on my 52" Sony Bravia. I put it on vivid color and wow, it looked awesome! I saw colors and details that I'd never seen before and I have been watching this movie faithfully for 30+ years. Although some of "today's" movies look better on blu-ray than this one, for a 70 year old movie, it is amazing at what they did to make it look this good. If you own this movie on VHS or DVD and have a blu-ray player, you HAVE to get it on blu-ray! You won't be dissappointed!!

(5 stars) - Buy it at Wal-Mart!
The movie looks great remastered in blu-ray. It's very clear and the special features are ok. Usually you get a better deal here on amazon, but this time it's cheaper at Wal-Mart. ([...] bucks)

(4 stars) - Good upgrade for Oz on blu-ray
I also went to Walmart to purchase this single disc version for $19.96. (Actually a couple of stores, before I found one.) We watched the movie, and were impressed with the increase in colors on the blu-ray. I have not viewed the special features, which I believe there is a small selection of them compared to the Ultimate Edition. But with this disc, I received the upgraded movie, at a fair price.

(5 stars) - 5 star CLASSIC Movie, But DON"T get ripped off !!
This single disc blu-ray version is the version I own, but do yourself a favor, just go to walmart and buy it for nineteen ninety five and not what these sellers are trying to sell it to you for. As for the movie, CLASSIC, BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL, need I say more? MUST-OWN. Just please, don't get ripped off.
