Plot
Dorthy and Toto are caught in storm and swept away by a tornado along with their Kansas farmhouse. The house lands on top of the wicked witch of the east in the land of Oz. This angered her sister, the wicked witch of the west, who seeks revenge. Dorthy just wants to go home and her only hope is seeking out the powerful Wizard who grants wishes. Along her journey to the Emerald City she meets Scarecrow who needs a brain, the Tin Man who wants a heart, and a Cowardly Lion who needs courage. After being told by the wizard that he needs the broomstick of the wicked witch of the west in order to grant them their wishes, the group goes in search of fulfilling his wishes only to find out that the wizard is just a mere mortal unable to grant Dorthy her wish. Glenda the good witch tells her that she was able to go home all along just by by clicking her heels together and repeating, there's no place like home. -
