Product Description
Disc 1: THE WIZARD OF OZ Disc 2: THE GOONIES Disc 3: WILLY WONKA & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORYFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC: 085391132875 Manufacturer No: 113287

This three-disc set, part of Warner's Essential Classics series, collects three films--The Wizard of Oz, The Goonies, and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory--in one inexpensive package. (Apparently, 1985's The Goonies and 1971's Willy Wonka are considered modern classics.) The drawback is you don't get the bonus discs of The Wizard of Oz (either one bonus disc or two, depending on which version you're interested in)--so if you really want the documentaries or the silent films, you'll want to stick with the individual releases. But this set does include the commentary tracks, cast profiles, and any other material that was on the movie discs of the Oz sets, or anything that was on the previous Goonies or Wonka releases. Best of all, The Wizard of Oz has the great remastered picture of the two previous releases. So if you just want the movies looking better than ever with some bonus features thrown in for good measure, the price per movie makes this set an attractive bargain. --David Horiuchi

 A true classic November 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought two of these for my four grandchildren ( two to each family).
The children range in age from five to two and a half. My husband and
I put it on for them for the first time, and they were all mesmerized.
Since then, they must have watched it 10 times, and love to talk about all
the characters. Even the youngest can name all the characters and the bad witch. Their parents (my children) were rejoicing in the fact that this was one movie from their childhood that has withstood time with its magic and appeal. "There's no place like home"!

This was a great find. I as looking for a copy of "the Wizard of Oz" for my granddaughters and gathering all three films together was a terrific bonus. They have become huge Willy Wonka fans, a next generation ! I know when they get a bit older, they will love "the Goonies" as much as their parents did.
Awesome September 2, 2008
My granddaughter turned three years old Sept 1st and we gave her the Wizard of Oz movie. She loves it. Her mother had recorded it off of the T.V. including all the commercials and some how it was misplaced. We searched and searched the video stores for this movie when I decided to look online. You guys are awesome. Now my sweet granddaughter can watch her most favoritest movie in the whole world.
Thanks again!!

Three classic movies for a great price. This set costs about the same as each movie does individually.
