| frightening |
3/10
Some kids may be upset when Gulch says that she wants to take Toto and have him "destroyed" and then leaves with the pooch in a basket.
The scene in the Witch's castle, where she starts the hourglass and tells Dorothy that "That's how much longer you've got to be alive", and Dorothy cries out "I'm frightened, Auntie Em, I'm frightened" could be extremely frightening to children.
The scenes where the tornado approaches the farm just as Dorothy arrives (including views of her inside the farmhouse as things are blown about, and later images of the house up inside the tornado, etc...) may be frightening to some kids.
The initial shots of the Wizard's chamber (flames and a green projected head), along with Dorothy and the trio's frightened reactions to that may have the same effect on younger kids.
Dorothy and the trio go through a "haunted forest" and then encounter some flying monkeys that chase the foursome in a scene that may be unsettling or frightening to very young kids.
If this movie came out today it would get PG.
