Movies that feel likeThe Wizard of Oz (1939)
If you loved The Wizard of Oz, the closest films we have are Jason and the Argonauts (1963), The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008) and The Dark Crystal (1982). All three share The Wizard of Oz's epic and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Pete's Dragon (2016).

If The Wizard of Oz hit the spot, these will too

A hero gathers unlikely companions for a quest full of marvels and peril
The difference: Greek myth spectacle with monsters, not a girl's journey home

Siblings are pulled into a fantastical land threatened by a wicked ruler
The difference: A returning-hero war epic, more battle-heavy than a wide-eyed quest

One thread runs through both: villain
The difference: Made in the 1980s, in a different era of the craft

Epic and dreamlike in the same breath

Warm where it counts, cozy underneath

Adventure built on scale, twice over

Dreamlike fantasy in both cases

Warm family, and it commits to that
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Young adventurers journey through a strange, wondrous world full of marvels
The difference: A voyage through prehistory rather than a fantastical fairyland

Adventure with a pulse of comfort, in both cases

Both lean on scale more than on fantasy

Dreamlike family in both cases
