Customer Reviews

Nice enough, but not for purists
This calendar left me somewhat lukewarm; I guess that Warners feels they need to pump new life into this 70 year old classic by "creating" new photos. Many of the large images in this calendar are a photoshop hodge podge of one face from one photo combined with other photos...and not necessarily done very well. The majority of these images are also colorized from black and white photos, and again...not very well. Still, this calendar will have some appeal as the design itself is not too bad and it is does seem fun, but for classic 1939 Oz fans, this one will probably fall between the chairs in appeal. The Oz map included is also another lukewarm attempt; not accurate enough to appeal to the Baum book fans, it is a combination of Baum, MGM, and plain silliness...I'm not quite sure who the makers of this calendar are trying to appeal to, but it would appear they are trying for too broad of a group.

Overall, not awful, but I prefer the official Oz calendar from last year that focused on actual photos/frames from the movie rather than this amateur photoshop conglomeration.

Nice pictures
Bought for my girlfriend. She likes it. It doesn't use quotes from the movie though which is weird.

Wizard of Oz calendar for 2009
This is the 10th year I've received this calendar and even though some of the photos have repeated, I love it every year!
