this be the third and final film in baum personally produce oz trilogy of 1914. the three picture be all essentially the same childishness and with magic and a journey and animal costume . the camera work and pacing be static and primitive even by 1914 standard while the performer be quite the opposite and both of which can get annoying and boring . we get poor framing and from a generally stationary position and and the shot linger on much long than they should and while the performer and except for the literally cold hearted princess and be in constant motion and mostly broadly gesticulate and do some knockabout nonsense . most of it have nothing to do with anything imaginative or with adventure and and i do not see how it could be humorous to anyone but a child . there be some trick photography and but nothing new while in fact and these trick ( superimpositions and stop substitution and a fish tank between character and the camera to represent be under the sea and a tilted camera to make them appear to be go up and down stream ) have be in use for near a decade or more even by then . at least and the maker of this oz trilogy put some care and energy and albeit a nauseating excess of it and in front of the camera although not behind it . i wonder how popular these film be and although and apparently and they weren not popular enough because baum production company be short live . there doesn not seem to have be many movie back then which be so specifically target at child . the industry at the time and which be even before the birth of a nation ( 1915 ) and be still struggle even to attract middle and upper class woman to theatre . time have certainly change .
