Dorothy Gale lives in Kansas with her aunt Em, uncle Henry and her dog (Toto). One day, a ruthless neighbor tried to take Toto from Dorothy, because the dog bite her. However, Toto was fast enough to run away. After this event, the girl decided to go away with her dog and leave the house before someone tries to separate both again. Unfortunately, a hurricane appeared. Dorothy could not enter in the shelter, so she was dragged through the wild. When she woke up, she was not in Kansas anymore.

Accidentally, Dorothy killed the bad witch from the east in her landing. The good witch from the north appeared and gave her the red glass slipper that would protect Dorothy during her journey to find the wizard of Oz. Meeting the Wizard of Oz represents a way to come back home. During her journey, she meet[s] three other creatures that also needed a wish. The Scarecrow needed a brain to be able to think by himself, the Tin Man needed I heart to feel the emotions, such like sadness and happiness, and the Cowardly Lion needed the courage to become a real king. Unfortunately, the mission through the yellow brick road was not easy, because the wicked witch of the west tried to do everything possible to get the magic shoes from Dorothy.

In the end, Dorothy could come back to her house and she realized that all the people from his house are very similar to the characters from Oz. For example, the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion are very similar to the three farm work[er]s.

It was a great movie with an excellent soundtrack. :)
