@PriestessOfNox "Return to Oz" is actually based on the second and third books in the Oz series, "The Marvelous Land of Oz" and "Ozma of Oz." This special is actually a very good adaptation, and delightfully free of too many MGM refernces.

@Luckynumber78 It's funny; Baum described Ozma as having golden hair when she first appeared, and that's how John R. Neill depicted her in the drawings. But from "Ozma of Oz" onward, presumably to contrast with Dorothy's blonde hair, Neill gave Ozma dark hair, almost black in some pictures, and, as you say, a sort of ruddy gold in others. Then again, Ozma is a fairy, and can change her hair color at will if she wants. Doesn't explain how Trot went from blonde to brunette, however....

@ricky94533 As for why I care, I've been a fan of Oz all my life, and I applaud and support anything that lets people know there's far more to it than just that first story. By the way, if this is how you feel about this cartoon, how would you have reacted to the 1902 Broadway version of "Wizard" which had a 19 year-old Dorothy who traveled to Oz with a cow, brought the Scarecrow to life with a magic ring, and fell in love with a poet? I suspect you'd have had a conniption. But Baum loved it!

@scandia Actually, this depiction of Dorothy is the closest to the illustrations of John R. Neill that has ever been presented on the screen (with the exceptions of Romola Remus and Violet MacMillan, two blonde silent movie actresses who played Dorothy), though her hair is much longer than that of the Dorothy Gale of the books. The only reason MGM used Judy's own hair was that the blonde wig they'd intended for her was scotched by a producer who wanted her to be recognizable.

@TheEpona92 I don't know who told you that. "Return to Oz" was produced by Paul Maslansky and directed by Walter Murch, who co-wrote the screenplay with Gill Dennis. Tim Burton was involved with a little-known Australian telefilm called "Lost in Oz"; that may be what you mean. "Return" borrows heavily from Baum, which is why it's so good; I personally prefer it to the MGM movie as far as being an Oz adaptation. MGM is more fun, but it's not as Ozzy. Yes, an anti-Baum, anti-Oz perspective.

Well, it was pretty accurate which is nice to see (for once!) but the things that are not completely true are the facts that Aunty Em was NOT on the voyage to Australia with Dorothy and Uncle Henry, Scarecrow, Lion, and the Tin Woodsman do not meet Dorothy until much later in the book, and if memory serves me well...Toto is NOT in the book at all! But still pretty accurate... so far...
@MaskedMan662 жыл бұрын
It's Aunt Em; that whole "Auntie" thing was strictly MGM. Also, it's Tin Woodman. And they only had a half hour to tell the tale, so changes naturally had to be made. It's still closer to its parent book than the MGM _Wizard_ was.
