IMDB notes

I enjoyed this, having recently readThe Wizard of Oz so i knew a great deal more of the backstory on the Tin Man. His story is a bit of the tragic romance, briefly told, and then apparently elaborated upon in a later Oz novel. Wikipedia has a nice overview of Baum’s story.

This retelling has some great contemporary twists, and is quite well told and acted. It’s distilled movie making and story telling, and in just a short time packs more emotional and thoughtful content than evenings of some full length movies.
