A little Kansas farm girl, Dorothy Gale, and her dog Toto are blown away in a tornado and land in a fairyland, named Oz. Here she meets a very unusual cast of characters - a recrow, a Tin Woodman, and a Cowardly Lion. Together they go on a quest to see the Wizard of Oz, each of them seeking what they want most in life. Making their way along the Yellow Brick Road through a series of hair-raising encounters, they arrive at the Emerald City only to be told by the Wizard that they first must kill the Wicked Witch of the West before he grants their wishes. One of America's greatest and best-loved homegrown fairytale, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz speaks movingly about what every child needs: the Woodman's compassion, the Lion's courage, and the Scarecrow's wisdom.
