Synopsis[]
Take your family on a fun-filled journey down the yellow brick road where lions sing, tin men talk, scarecrows dance -- and children of every age are reminded that in all the world, there's no place like home. Whisked away by a swirling tornado, 12-year-old Dorothy (Judy Garland), her dog Toto -- and even her Kansas farmhouse! -- sail over the rainbow and into the dazzling land of Oz. Filled with playful munchkins, enchanted forests and endless surprises, this dream-come-true world is one great adventure after another. But the most wondrous adventure of all begins when Dorothy and her new-found friends go in search of the kingdom's mysterious wizard... and the secret that will lead her home.
