It was initially released on the 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'' - is currently slated for ''theatrical'' release in the US on February 17th 2012. This newer version will be an overall shorter movie with new scenes and about 90% of the special effects completely redone.
