It's horror. But more than horror. It's horror that masquerades as a kids film. It sneaks horror in. Like a sweet with a spider in the middle.

That scared Me as well. Other than that, a great family film.

It's obviously a fairy tale. I guess the horror side is the witch in it but she isn't even that scary to say the least.

I find OZ itself both enthralling and creepy. There's just something about it that I can't put my finger on. I think I have a fear of heaven and Oz is surely heaven in a metaphorical sense. I find kids stuff quite creepy. The Little Nemo cartoons creep me out too.

it is a horror movie.
 
Lots of people say the movie that most scared them when they were kids was Bambi. Wizard of Oz might be a family movie, but I was definitely scared at the talking trees, and the scene where the Witch sets the Scarecrow's arm on fire.
Pinnochio is a Disney movie, but I would be a little concerned about little kids seeing it, especially the scene where the kids turn into donkeys.
