I'm sure beardappreciationclub would approve! ^_^ (I always just imagined you as your icon. <.< I do that with everyone, which is why dethtoll is Guy Gardner and Chase is a mudkip.)

--Sneak

I miss beardappreciationclub

Have they really been gone that long?

Haven't seen them in a week or more.

Ugly!anon rode them out of town on a rail.

...or, yanno, it's the same anon, switching tacks /iamveryparanoid

I tend to imagine people like their icons as well... And I thought feotakahari was a woman. ^^; oops.

You are totally Ozma, of course! ^_^ A good choice.

(We rewatched Return to Oz a few days ago with our roommate, who'd never heard of it. It was fun.)

--Sneak

I just watched it the other night with a friend who hadn't seen it, they enjoyed it.

And yeah I switched to my Ozma-icon, which is currently not my default, beause I like the association. *which you could probably tell with my screen name starting with Oz*

Oz was totes our first fandom. ^_^ It is so cool! Our roommate thought Return to Oz was just really weird and trippy; it was fun to share it with her.

--Sneak

I came into the Oz fandom later. I had some exposure to it as a child (the anime, return to Oz, Dreamer of Oz, and of course 1939), but I never read the books till I was an adult.

Still one of my top 10 fandoms, and farthest away I've ever traveled for a con.

Yeah, we were obsessed with the movie around the age of five or six, and then got into the books once we had the reading skills. We were that wee hipster who kept insisting the books were better.

What's Dreamer of Oz? And I didn't know there was an anime!

--Rogan

Actually there's at least Three anime (as well as an anime based on the Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, which you probably know is in the Oz universe and also by L Frank Baum.) Actually there's more than that, if you count various one shot specials, like the Hello Kitty episode.

The one I saw as a kid is one that was dubbed by Cinar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJpcpEGaKJ8 which was a TV series that covered Wizard, and Land (fairly faithfully though Dorothy is there for the Land events), as well as Ozma, and Emerald City (which it takes huge liberties with. The DVD version out there cuts it down to four movies, but the 52 episodes were available legally online from CookieJar not sure if that's still the case.

There was a 1982 Movie version by Toho: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJpcpEGaKJ8

Then there's a scifi version: Space Oz No Bouken/Galaxy of Oz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we3MSqEISSU

Dreamer of Oz is a biopic of L Frank Baum, made a pretty big impact on me as a kid, even though, again, I didn't get into his books till later. It wasn't a very accurate biopic though. It's included on the 70th, and 75th anniversary box-sets of the MGM movie.

hehe, sorry I know that's a lot of info to dump.

Links for Cinar and Toho are the same. Whichever that link was for, though, I am pleased to see them showing the Good Witch of the North and Glinda as separate people! The space version, I'm kinda uncertain about.

I am ALWAYS down for an Oz infodump.

--Rogan

Sorry that was Toho, and actually you don't see Glinda in that video, the angelic woman with the Ozma like headpiece is one of the multiple forms that the Wizard takes. Glinda is indeed a seperate person from the Witch of the North but she's basically in the movie for like a minute.

Here's the correct links for the Cinar dubbed one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE8x8qr9guw (Japanese intro)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOL4tmWp5no (English intro)

Also yeah: I didn't like the space version based on the English dub (which edited a TV series into a movie), and stopped watching before she even met her friends.

Oh wow! To my surprise, I like the Cinar one's Japanese intro a lot better. I'm digging the art style, and Dorothy is adorable! The Toho one, maybe it was just the English translation, but it felt kinda shrill and didn't quite mesh for me.

Man, we've been itching for more adaptations of Oz. (Er, good ones. The one about the wizard that just came out looked AWFUL.) It never occurred to me to look for anime about it! (Gigi, who is an American McGee fanatic, was deeply dismayed that he hasn't gotten to this Oz adaptation yet.)

Oh god I feel like I'm replying to all your comments but I ADORE THAT MOVIE. I swear to gods, every single dark as hell "kid's" movie of the 70s/80s was so much my thing. (Watership Down, Return to Oz, The Last Unicorn, I could continue.) This is probably not surprising that my comfort reading is Anne Bishop's Black Jewels books (amazing books; should come with just about every trigger warning possible) and the Game of Thrones books. Mercedes Lackey is like... my only comfort reading that isn't automatically dark, and even then, my favorites are her darker ones (Oathbound, Oathbreakers, the Diana Tregarde books).

Weirdly, I didn't care much for the original Oz but I adored the books, and re-watched Return like nuts. I'm surprised my parents weren't more concerned about me.

Gigi: It is a great movie. I love it.

Rogan: Oddly, I never cared for The Last Unicorn. I know a lot of people like it, but I always felt like I was missing something.

Miranda: I remember the Diana Tregarde books! I think I only managed to get my hands on the first one, but I recall liking it! The Fire Rose is my favorite Lackey book by far.

YANA on Feo.

I don't identify as male, but I am huge and hairy, so I figure I might as well be the hairiest I can be rather than trying to keep trimmed. Saves time in the mornings when I'm rushing to 8 AM classes.

Ah I'm trans, and sometimes I don't shave cause I work early mornings but I always feel gross when I do. I need electrolysis, (or more lasers which ever).

I love that the answer is MORE LASERS, made me grin

Well cause I did have some laser treatments, but it takes more to finish the job. Also I don't think the place I went to was the best (used a groupon).

Yeah but it just sounds badass

Captain we have a problem here

MORE LASERS

same lol
