Reply to comment by ilovemychickens in In Return to Oz (1985) the nightmare fueled sequel to the Wizard of Oz, why do so many of the characters look completely different from the first film? by ilovemychickens

You need to look up the feud with Walt Disney and MGM! Constantly taunted Disney with the Wizard of Oz rights. The old studio guys were so petty!

They made that dumb James Franco movie just to get around the copywriter claims. There’s this weird workaround through the book of Wicked and making the witch green, it’s complicated.

And yet 60 years later they'd join forces for a theme park at Disney World (the MGM, now Hollywood Studios)
