      4/10
      Interesting Oz Story, But...
      This is not the Wizard of Oz that we all know and love. This is far from it. The only real memorable character is the donkey (which by the way, was a bad costume). It all felt very awkward and was somewhat boring. It was funny at some parts, especially those involving the Donkey. An interesting fact is that Mildred Harris, who was one of Charlie Chaplin's wives, was in this film. The plot overall was decent, but somewhat predictable. The acting was good for its time but was not great. The music was appropriate for the Magic Cloak. There was just enough humor to keep me satisfied.

      Overall, I give it a 6/10.
