“The Wizard Of Oz 3: Dorothy Goes To Hell” is a ridiculous fan film spoof of “The Wizard Of Oz” films. It’s an animated picture that feels like a combination of “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” and “South Park”. It would probably offend most people with its extreme humour but I actually found it to be really funny for what is just a small project. The film was directed by James Rolfe, who you may know better as the ‘Angry Video Game Nerd’.
Dorothy returns to Oz again as she teams up with all her old friends. This time, she must defeat Satan, who has taken control of Oz and is threatening to seize her world too.
A lot of the characters have image of the face of the original actor and actress with an animated body, which is something “South Park” used to do a lot. I really had to laugh at the fact they gave the Tin Man the face of Data from “Star Trek: The Next Generation”. If you like the original version of “Star Trek”, you’ll also get a kick out of how they use William Shatner’s face. You may recognise a few characters here that would also appear in episodes of “Angry Video Game Nerd”. The voice acting here is as juvenile as you can get.
“Dorothy Goes To Hell” works as a low-budget spoof of a beloved classic and its innovative sequel. It doesn’t last long and it certainly never gets boring. It’s got some great comedic use of music from “Star Wars” too. Just please be aware that this is definitely not for children as there is a lot of bad language, nudity and gory violence. “Return To Oz” felt like a real departure from the original but “Dorothy Goes To Hell” is on a whole new level.
