    Storyline

    • Trivia
      L. Frank Baum's fairylands were meant to give America a mythology. Though based on European archetypes, their characters are very American in their thoughts and mannerisms. By contrast, this version has more British accents (mostly Scottish) than American, and the soundtrack is based on Celtic folk music.

    Positive role model for kids

    My son loves this and it is beautifully animated. Unlike the 1985 version of this same story, the angel of death is beautifully unthreatening. Let your kids try it out and you might not mind watching either. To quote my son, "It's kind of cheery watching these Christmas shows."
