Return to Oz(1964)
Return to Oz Synopsis
Rather than adapt a later or create a new Oz story, this production has Dorothy still in posession of the shoes, and she clings to an apple tree during a tornado which takes her back to Oz. The Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and Lion (using the names created for the nearly-abstract television series, Tales of the Wizard of Oz, from which this was derived) have had their MGM gifts destroyed by the restored Wicked Witch, and the four proceed to the Wizard for help, who is ineffectual as usual.
Return to Oz (1964) is a animation, tv movie, family and fantasy film directed by Thomas Glynn, released on February 9, 1964 with a runtime of 51m. It stars Larry D. Mann, Alfie Scopp, Carl Banas and Susan Morse. Viewers rate it 2.0 out of 10 across 1 ratings.
