Wizard of Oz in 3D? Oh joy.

I'll stick with my Emerald Edition blu-ray, which has all of the special features but none of the crap.

 

LOL...I stick with my home made DVD of the 1955 IB Technicolor Print. You can see a real difference in the colors between the 1955 version and the new DVDs. I believe that the colors on the 1955 version were what audiences saw on the screen in 1939.

 

Everyone's going to rag on this, but I'm quite excited to see it in 3D one time....getting a new perspective on a classic.

 

Why the need for 3D?

I'd even happily watch this in black & white than 3D.

 

Sacrilege! Sacrilege!

I hope they colorized the first 20 minutes, too.

 

YES!
they need to make it right
I hope they fired the idiot who put the wrong film in the camera

 

stereoguy, have you seen the blu-ray?

 

IMO many people are acting outraged because they feel that's how they're "supposed" to act...but in reality are quite curious about this.

Once in a while when a film comes on tv that I've seen a thousand times, I change the tv setting to give it that "video" look for a one-time change of pace...this is basically the same thing.

That being said, I wonder if the 3D kicks in when Dorothy opens the door to Oz....

 

Depending on the price I'd like to have this for "When The Lion Roars" documentary on blu-ray.

 

I'm with you, I want to see what it looks like!

Derek

 

Me too. I will happily take a 3D version!

 

There is a 2D 75th anniversary reissue as well, I'm hoping it will be included in that but it seems unlikely.

 

They better have cropped the whole thing to 16x9, too, so that it fills up my whole TV!!!

 

The Emerald Edition blu-ray I mentioned earlier includes When the Lion Roars (and so does the Scarlett Edition blu-ray of Gone With the Wind).

Like I said, it has all of the same special features, just none of the memorabilia.

 

When The Lion Roars should get a stand alone release.

 

What happens when you pair up Wizard of Oz in 3D with Dark Side of the Moon in 5.1 surround?

 

One helluva trippy experience, I would think...

 

A SH thread complaining that it's out of sync.

 

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I can hear the complaints now: "something's wrong with this Blu-ray disc! I'm missing the rest of the picture on the sides!"

 

2D in the B&W part and 3D in the color part? Could be kinda cool, i hate to say. I think there's something suitable about a 3D release. The whole Oz portion is so artificial and stylized anyway, why not make it even trippier with a 3D visit?

 

Ding Dong, i thought 3D at home was dead???

 

Wizard of Oz 3D I can kind of understand. But who the hell thought Top Gun 3D was a good idea? What's next, Airplane! 3D?
