    My favorite scene was the one in the mirror with Emma smiling as well! Such a beautiful and sweet ending...showing that she's always there for her...Emma you are amazing! Thank you!

      Me too! I remember even 25 years ago renting it at a video store and when I went to return it they were permanently closed so I got to keep the vhs tape! My sister and I watched it over and over again in 1985. Miss that time so much!

    Emma needed some more scenes.Thats my biggest complaint about the film.Cause in Ozma of Oz there was more Ozma in the book.I think it would of been Epic to see Ozma on a Chariot riding across the desert,with the Lion,and Tiger pulling it.Ofcourse money was limited for this picture.But still,she should of had more scenes.Although I still like the film.

    Whoever dubbed her voice in the movie did excellent work, and it served the film beautifully because she sounds so ethereal. If they had used Emma's real voice, it would have taken away from the character's effect IMO.

      Absolutely - her voice was almost comical (not making fun, she was just a child), but the dubbing voice sounded both childlike and mature. I had no idea it was dubbed until now!

      Indeed. I was very surprised to learn that. It was very well done, and the voice they used (Beatrice Murch) was just beautiful. Emma was such a lovely girl, and particularly when she looked sad, which was most of the time, your heart just went out to her.

    I think, that they dubbed her voice because Emma's voice sounded positive and happy and the dubbed voice always struck me as subdued and haunted. Both are very received pronunciation and lovely. I actually really like the dubbing.
