Driving by her deep will of seeing her friends, Dorothy, a young smart girl that can visit a magical world, returns to Oz, where she struggles against saving her friends from the evil empire.
Faithfully brings the Oz books to life. A classic.

Best to see them as individual films with nothing in common apart from source material, one a classic, the other a strong enough picaresque amongst some decent fabulation.
I can see why the Judy Garland fans might not appreciate this weird little adaptation, but it's actually pretty good!
