The Wizard of Oz
When young Dorothy and her dog Toto are caught in a cyclone, their Kansas farmhouse is carried off to the magical Land of Oz. Dorothy really wants to return home, but is told the only chance is to get the Wizard of Oz to help her so she follows the yellow brick road to his home in the Emerald City. Along the way she meets the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion who join her on the quest: the Scarecrow wishes for brains, the Tin Man for a heart and the Cowardly Lion for some courage. The Wizard of Oz agrees to help them all if they vanquish the Wicked Witch, so the gang troop off to her palace. Despite running into the witch’s flying monkeys, Dorothy is able to melt the witch with a big bucket of water. On return the Wizard gives the scarecrow a handful of pins, the Tin Man a heart shaped cushion and the lion a bottle marked courage. For Dorothy he has a hot air balloon to take her home but unfortunately it takes off with the Wizard in it but before Dorothy can climb in herself. It takes advice from Glinda, the Good Witch of the South, for Dorothy to learn that she has her own way of returning home. Dorothy clicks together the heels of her silver shoes and wishes to return home, and is soon running across the fields at Kansas.
