Here’s a look at some of the ghastly things that made Return to Oz truly the stuff of nightmares. While the movie was much truer to Baum’s book series than the original, its tone and imagery were far too dark and frightening for children and it flopped as a result. She escapes and does manage to return to Oz, only to find most of her friends turned to stone and the land itself in ruins. Played by Fairuza Balk, Dorothy talks about Oz so often, her family thinks she is insane and sends her to a facility where she’s to undergo electroshock therapy. Written by Water Murch and Gill Dennis and directed by Murch, the film continues the story of Dorothy Gale from the first film. The family-friendly fantasy musical about a young girl from Kansas trying to find her way home after a tornado whisks her away to a magical foreign land would go on to capture the hearts and minds of children and adults alike for years to come.ĭisney had purchased the film rights to Baum’s Oz novels back in 1954 but didn’t do much with them until Return to Oz was released in 1985. It was nominated for six academy awards (winning two) and would go on to become a timeless classic. The Wizard of Oz, the film based on the Frank Baum novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, was released in 1939.
