Looking for an old OZ movie (but newer that MGM)???!
Question: ...I saw the trailer, on a VHS collection of movie trailers, for a live-action WIZARD OF OZ movie, which featured the characters of Jack Pumpkinhead, The Gump, The Wozzlebug, and Witch Mombi....but it wasn't Disney's "Return to OZ"; this one looked a lot more low budget, and the sets looked like they were made of cardboard...
....please tell me that someone out there actually saw this!!!

...actually, I think that you referring more along the lines of the cheezy and so-bad-it's-even-worse 1969 production, called "The Wonderful Land of Oz"; it was recently picked up and distributed by a mail order company called Something Weird Video, and it deservedly beloings there...
...it pretty much follows the same story, as "Return to Oz", except Princess Ozma, throughout the story, is actually an enchantedly transformed boy named Tip, and at the end of the film, the boy becomes Ozma, again (...which makes for some pretty surreal storytelling)
The Marvelous Land of OZ (1981) made for TV. It was a play!
