tom and jerry :: the wizard of oz {giveaway}

A new twist on a classic movie was just released.  Tom and Jerry & The Wizard of Oz (original movie). I really enjoyed it.  I wasn’t sure what to expect – I wanted to see something similar to the original – but with a twist of Tom & Jerry added.  It was exactly that!  I sat down with both of my girls and we sat through it til the end.  Even our little Adalynn!  It was a fabulous movie and if you are thinking you want to get it, I suggest it!  Like the original, there is a witch and some scary parts.  My Lili is scared of these parts in the original, however in this cartoon she wasn’t scared.

Here is a little more about it:
