What is Return to Oz about?
Dorothy, saved from a psychiatric experiment by a mysterious girl, finds herself back in the land of her dreams, and makes delightful new friends, and dangerous new enemies.
Return to Oz is a 1985 dark fantasy film serving as an unofficial sequel to the 1939 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film The Wizard of Oz, and is based on L. Frank Baum's early 20th century Oz novels, mainly being a combination of The Land of Oz (1904) and Ozma of Oz (1907). Produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Silver Screen Partners II, the film was co-written and directed by Walter Murch in his directorial debut. It stars Nicol Williamson, Jean Marsh, Piper Laurie, and Fairuza Balk as Dorothy Gale in her first screen role. The plot follows an insomniac Dorothy, who returns to the Land of Oz to find it has been conquered by the cruel Nome King and his wicked accomplice Princess Mombi. Dorothy must restore Oz with her newfound friends Billina, Jack Pumpkinhead, Tik-Tok, and the Gump.
