A Japanese animated expression of the classic 1900 children's novel by L. Frank Baum, this work of art follows Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman and the Cowardly Lion on their bizarre and enlightening journey to the land of Oz, and its famous Wizard. The Wizard of Oz himself is a multi-faceted man, captivating and puzzling the characters as they embark on their strange and perilous journey of self-discovery. This rendition of the timeless tale deviates little from the original tale itself, preserving its philosophical potency, yet bringing with it the artistic touch of the Japanese to an unforgettably profound story.
