It has what can best be described as a rather curious distribution history. It was initially released on the Creator/{{Syfy}} channel as a two-part miniseries in 2011 and subsequently made available on DVD and Blu-Ray. However, a [[http://www.followtheyellowbrickroad.com/ director's cut]] - retitled ''Dorothy and the Witches of Oz'' - was slated for ''theatrical'' release in the US on February 17th 2012. This newer version is an overall shorter movie with new scenes and about 90% of the special effects completely redone. There are plans to release the film version on DVD.
