The Wizard of Oz (1991-1995 VHS/Laserdisc)

After the 1989 VHS was discontinued, The Wizard of Oz returned to the stock shelves with new cover artwork. A CAV laserdisc also came out in 1993.

Synopsis
Experience the cinematic treasure that was placed the immortal Judy Garland into the center of hearts around the world. The extraordinary voice that sang such unforgettable songs as "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," "We're Off to See the Wizard" and "The Merry Old Land of Oz" also won Miss Garland a special Academy Award for "outstanding performance as a screen juvenile" in 1939. Swooped from her Kansas farm by a terrible twister, young Dorothy (Garland) and her dog Toto find themselves in a fantastic world of witches and wizards. Befriended by the inhabitants of Munchkinland, Dorothy learns her only hope of returning to Kansas is to follow the yellow brick road to the Emerald City, home of the magnificent and all-powerful Wizard of Oz. Joined in her enchanted quest by a Scarecrow (Ray Bolger) in search of a brain, a Tin Man (Jack Haley) in search of a heart and a cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr) in need of courage, Dorothy leads the merry band dancing and singing toward their dreams. A legendary film that has transcended the medium itself, The Wizard of Oz continues to delight those who let their minds and hearts drift to that magical place that will forever be... somewhere over the rainbow.

VHS Supplements
The 1989 version of the film is retained, but the special features don't survive on this video. Other than that, the MGM/UA Home Video logo was updated for the 1993 VHS.
