It’s taken a long time to get Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return to the screen. It was announced before Oz The Great And Powerful was in the works, but it’s only now we get a trailer, ahead of its release next May.
The movie is a sequel to L. Frank Baum’s Wizard Of Oz, showing what happens when Dorothy returns to the magical land.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘In LEGENDS OF OZ: DORTOHY’S RETURN, Dorothy returns to Kansas to find it devastated by the tornado that had whisked her away to Oz. The home she has been so desperate to return to is severely damaged, and the townspeople are packing up and moving out. But shortly after arriving in Kansas, Dorothy is magically transported back to Oz.
‘She finds out that Oz is in trouble, and the people there need her help. Dorothy’s old friends – the Scarecrow, Tin Man and the formerly Cowardly Lion – have disappeared and Oz is in a state of decay. As Dorothy journeys to find her friends, she encounters a number of new companions and problems including a man made of marshmallows who can’t think for himself; a china doll princess whose bossiness is a cover for her fragility; and a tugboat with as many personalities as he has pieces. Dorothy must help this odd group band together against a new villain – a wicked Jester who thinks all of Oz should be under his control.’
Lea Michele, Dan Aykroyd, Kelsey Grammer, Jim Belushi, Martin Short, Roger S. Baum. Megan Hilty, Hugh Dancy, Oliver Platt, Patrick Stewart, and Bernadette Peters lend their voices.
