| L. Frank Baum's 1900 children's fantasy,
musical adventure is a genuine family classic, that made Judy Garland a star for her
heartfelt performance as Dorothy Gale, an orphaned young girl unhappy
with her drab black-and-white existence on her aunt and uncle's dusty Kansas farm. Dorothy
yearns to travel "over the rainbow" to a different world, and she gets her wish
when a tornado whisks her and her little dog Toto to the Technicolorful land of Oz. Having
offended the Wicked Witch of the West, Dorothy is protected from the old crone's wrath by
the ruby slippers that she wears. At the suggestion of Glinda, the Good Witch of the
North, Dorothy heads down the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City, where dwells the
all-powerful Wizard of Oz, who might be able to help the girl return to Kansas. En route,
she befriends a Scarecrow, a Tin Man, and a Cowardly Lion. The Scarecrow would like to
have some brains, the Tin Man craves a heart, and the Lion wants to attain courage; hoping
that the Wizard will help them too, they join Dorothy on her odyssey to the Emerald City. |
