It's a movie based on a couple of sequels to the book that the >first movie was based on, but Kurtz et al emphasize that it's not a sequel to >the 1939 WIZARD OF OZ (or to THE WIZ. for that matter). Seems to me it's a sequel! It is a movie based upon sequels to the book from which the original movie was made. You might as well say that return of the Jedi is not a sequel because it was based upon a different script... The Wiazard of OZ movie is in general an improvement over the book. I wonder if the new movie will do as well? - Toby Robison (not Robinson!) {allegra, decvax!ittvax, fisher, princeton}!eosp1!robison
