# Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz

Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz is an American animated children's television series loosely based on L. Frank Baum's 1900 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. The series was picked up for the second and third seasons. The series ended on July 31, 2020, after three seasons. The series was removed from the streaming service in the United States in September 2024.

## Plot

After the Wicked Witch of the West was melted by water, Queen Ozma crowned Dorothy Gale as Princess of Emerald City. With her feet firmly grounded in her Ruby Slippers, Dorothy tackles her royal duties with enthusiasm, bravery, kindness and farm girl feistiness. And whether it's magic, Munchkins, flying monkeys or her 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 puppy Toto and their best friends Scarecrow, Tin Man and 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.

## Characters
### Main

* Princess Dorothy Gale (voiced by Kari Wahlgren) – She now lives in Oz as the new Princess of Emerald City. She is a very brave and courageous princess. She's got an extremely kind heart, and will always help her friends out of danger. Aside from her cheerful nature, Dorothy very rarely gets angry, as it has happened twice in the show: The first time being when Wilhelmina controlled her emotions with a mood ring and the second time being before the wicked Nome King turned Dorothy into a white cat. However, aside from all this, Dorothy is sweet, quick-thinking, helpful, friendly and amicable. She not only exhibits the power not just to transport herself, but those around her as well. In Season 3, she has unlocked additional uses for it, including the ability to create objects (e.g. red pillows, four individual protective red force fields around herself and three allies, a large force field around all of them, a catcher's mitt and a giant bowling ball). She's best friends with Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion.
** Toto is Dorothy's pet puppy. It is revealed in "Dorothy's Christmas in Oz" that Dorothy got Toto as a Christmas present from Santa back when she lived in Kansas.
* Scarecrow (voiced by Bill Fagerbakke) – Now that he has a brain, he can finally help provide useful information to his friends when going on adventures.
* Tin Man (voiced by J.P. Karliak) – He has finally gotten his heart, but also provides the gang with useful items contained inside of him.
* Cowardly Lion (voiced by Jess Harnell) is the not-so fearless king of the forest.
* Queen Ozma (voiced by Kari Wahlgren) is the Queen of Emerald City and Dorothy's best friend. Formerly trapped by the Nome King, Dorothy rescued Ozma and took her rightful place as queen.
* Good Witch Glinda (voiced by Grey DeLisle-Griffin) is the Good Witch of the North and a motherly-figure to Dorothy. In season three, it is revealed that Glinda originally owned the Ruby Slippers before the Wicked Witch of the East stole them. She once nearly sent Dorothy back to Kansas when Wilhelmina was controlling Dorothy's emotions with a mood ring during the events of the episode "Moody Magic".
* Wizard of Oz (voiced by Tom Kenny) is the former ruler of Oz when Ozma was missing. He later returned to Oz in season two in order to become an actual wizard. The Wizard now has the Wicked Witch's powers after battling her when she returned.

### Villains

* Wilhelmina (voiced by Jessica DiCicco) is the spoiled niece of the Wicked Witches of the East and West. Her goal is to get rid of Dorothy and obtain the Ruby Slippers so that she and her aunt can rule the Land of Oz. Unlike her aunts however, Wilhelmina does not have a weakness to water as seen when she once fell into the Truth Pond.
* Wicked Witch of the West (voiced by Laraine Newman) is an old enemy of Dorothy who was melted upon getting hit with water. Her spirit resided in the crystal ball advising Wilhemina to get the Ruby Slippers needed to restore her. In Season 2, she returned but lost her powers to the Wizard.
* Frank and Lyman (voiced by Steve Blum and Jess Harnell) are Wilhelmina's winged monkey henchmen who often unsuccessfully attempt to hinder Dorothy and her friends in order to obtain the ruby slippers and give it to Wilhelmina. Frank is the larger winged monkey and Lyman is the smaller incompetent winged monkey. They are named after the author of the original Oz books Lyman Frank Baum.
* Mean Geanne the Green (voiced by Kari Wahlgren) is a big, strong tough-looking witch who is the Wicked Witch of the West's longtime arch-nemesis. After learning the Wicked Witch lost her powers, she takes over the castle and Wilhelmina appears scared of her.
* Crank (voiced by Jess Harnell) is the leader of the Wheelers.
* Melinda the Mean (voiced by Grey DeLisle-Griffin) is the evil twin sister of Good Witch Glinda.
* Nome King (voiced by J.P. Karliak) is the ruler of the Nome Kingdom who conspires to rule the Land of Oz. Like the books, he has a fear of eggs and chickens.
