Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz is an American animated children's television series based on L. Frank Baum's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its subsequent books, as well as its 1939 film adaptation. The series debuted on Boomerang SVOD on June 29, 2017.[3] The series was picked up for a second and third season.[4]

Premise

After the Wicked Witch of the West’s defeat, Queen Ozma has appointed Dorothy Gale the Princess of Emerald City. With her feet firmly grounded in her ruby slippers, Dorothy tackles her royal duties with enthusiasm, bravery and farm girl feistiness. And whether it’s magic, Munchkins, flying monkeys or her arch-nemesis Wilhelmina, the wicked witch-in-training and niece of the Wicked Witch of the West, Dorothy is ready to track down and put a stop to any problem that comes Oz’s way with help from her dog Toto and their friends Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion.

At the start of the second season, the Wizard of Oz ends up back in Oz after getting mixed up in another tornado. Now that he has returned at last, he plots to make himself into a real wizard by getting actual magic powers. When he finds out about the Wicked Witch’s spirit being trapped in her crystal ball, he decides to help resurrect her in exchange for powers (not knowing that it takes years to get powers), but it backfired and Dorothy accidentally resurrects the Wicked Witch without her powers. Regardless on the outcome, this puts the Land of Oz in serious danger now.

As a production of Turner Entertainment (which acquired the rights to the 1939 film as part of its purchase of the MGM back catalog in 1986), the series has free usage of icons and other elements that were created for the film. Because the Oz book series lapsed into the public domain, numerous adaptations of the book have appeared from other companies, but these unofficial productions are not allowed to use anything from the film as that remains under copyright until 2035.

Characters

  • Dorothy Gale (voiced by Kari Wahlgren)[5] – She now lives in Oz and is the new Princess of Emerald City. Dorothy is always willing to help out her friends, introduce the Ozians to customs from back in Kansas, and fight all evil in Oz.
  • Scarecrow (voiced by Bill Fagerbakke)[6][7] – Now that he has a brain, he can finally help provide useful information to his friends when going on adventures.
  • Tin Man (voiced by JP Karliak)[6][7] – He has finally gotten his heart, but he also provides the gang with useful items contained inside of him.
  • Lion (voiced by Jess Harnell)[6][7] – He is the not-so fearless king of the forest.
  • Ozma (voiced by Kari Wahlgren)[6][7] – The Queen of Emerald City and Dorothy’s new best friend. Formerly trapped by the Nome King, Dorothy rescued Ozma and she took her rightful place as queen.
  • Wilhelmina (voiced by Jessica DiCicco)[6] – The spoiled and bratty niece of the Wicked Witch of the West and the daughter of the late Wicked Witch of the East. Her mission is to get rid of Dorothy, claim the Ruby Slippers, and revive the Wicked Witch of the West so that she and her aunt can take over the Land of Oz. She is supported by two flying monkey henchmen named Frank and Lyman.
