Where To Watch Every Wizard of Oz Movie and TV Show In Order

Published on

The world of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is returning to the big screen with Wicked. Based on the stage musical of the same name, Wicked follows Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande) in the Land of Oz as they strike up an unlikely friendship and head down a path that will one day see them become the Wicked Witch of the West and the Good Witch of the North, respectively. For those with a renewed interest in The Wizard of Oz following Wicked, this guide will explain how and where to watch every film and TV adaptation in release order.

The most famous adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s 1900 children’s book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, is, of course, the 1939 musical The Wizard of Oz. In the movie, Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) and her dog Toto awaken in a mysterious land after a tornado hits Kansas. Desperate to go home, Dorothy sets out to find the mystical Wizard of Oz (Frank Morgan) and receives help along the way from the Tin Man (Jack Haley), Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr), and Scarecrow (Roy Bolger). The film achieved high critical acclaim, propelling Garland to stardom and taking home an Oscar for its original song, “Over the Rainbow.”

While most are familiar with the 1939 adaptation, attempts to adapt Baum’s book began as early as 1908 with the lost film The Fairylogue and Radio-Plays. The earliest surviving adaptation is the silent film The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1910). Baum was involved in several early adaptations, writing the screenplay for The Patchwork Girl of Oz, The Magic Cloak of Oz, and His Majesty, The Scarecrow of Oz.

Following the 1939 movie’s success, further adaptations struggled to top it. However, there were some notable ones. The animated Journey to Oz flourished on television and featured Garland’s daughter, Liza Minnelli, as the voice of Dorothy Gale, who returns to Oz after experiencing another tornado. In 1978, The Wiz offered a unique spin on the story, seeing Dorothy (Diana Ross) as a 24-year-old teacher whisked off to the Land of Oz and featuring Michael Jackson as Scarecrow. Despite being a critical and commercial failure at the time, the musical is now a cult classic. Anime fans may also be intrigued by Toho’s 1982 animated take on the story, The Wizard of Oz.

In addition to Wicked, some notable modern-day adaptations include Tin Man, Emerald City, and Oz the Great and Powerful. Tin Man is a miniseries that follows DG (Zooey Deschanel), a waitress in Kansas who is transported to the Outer Zone (O.Z.), where she comes up against the evil sorceress Azkadellia (Kathleen Robertson). Emerald City is a dark and brooding take on the story that sees Adria Arjona’s Dorothy Gale at the center of life-altering prophecy, while Oz the Great and Powerful is a spiritual prequel to the 1939 movie. The 2013 film follows Oz (James Franco), who is whisked away to the Land of Oz and seeks to fulfill his destiny to become the wizard of the land.

Along the way, they meet Mewel, a waif and stray (mule) who leads them to Dr. Pipt, who has been stirring the powder of life for nine years. Ojo adds plenty of brains to Margolotte's Patchwork servant before she is brought to life with the powder.

    A wicked king has taken over the Emerald City, and wants his daughter, Princess Gloria to marry the horrid courtier Googly-Goo, though she loves Pon, the Gardener's Boy.

Pon rescues a Kansas girl named Dorothy from the evil witch Mombi, whom Princess Gloria has been taken to by King Krewl to freeze her heart so she will no longer love Pon. An Indian princess has a ceremony to bring the Scarecrow to life. Pon rescues the cold-hearted princess and they flee for help, discovering the Scarecrow, who promptly falls in love with the princess, and Button-Bright, a lost boy from America. They come to the castle of the Tin Emperor, Nick Chopper, and after oiling him, he falls in love with Gloria. After a bit of a chase aided by the Sawhorse and the Wizard, Mombi turns Pon into a Kangaroo, and a slough of Fred Woodward's animals battle it out.

Meanwhile, the Soldier with the Green Whiskers does cartwheels prior to the annunciation of the return of Dorothy. Several dances later, Dorothy notices a miniature statue of Nick Chopper. Wishing he were present, she uses the powder of life, and with the magic words, "Wogglebug! Whimsy!" transforms the statue into the real Nick Chopper, who thanks her for bringing him to the city. They do more dances as General Jinjur summons her all-girl army by tap dancing on a drum. At this point the sound drops out on the existing print as they raid the city, leaving Scarecrow and Nick on the run, Jellia disguised as the SGW, and taking Dorothy to Mombi, who imprisons her on a flaming table, with slave boy Tip trying to rescue her.

  7. The Wizard of Oz

    #7

    A storybook opens to depict little Dorothy on the grey Kansas prairies, when suddenly a cyclone comes up, turns her world to color, and she lands on a Scarecrow, who promptly gets up and walks with her. Her dog Toto finds a woodcutter made of tin, so the Scarecrow oils him up and he accompanies them. They watch some animals reproduce before being ushered into the Emerald City by singing suits of armor and a lavish parade of overweight cops before meeting the Wizard, a devious little man who transforms eggs into uncontrollable forms, much to Billina's dismay.

The Wizard decides to bring them all to Oz, transforming them into Oz celebrities: Tippetarius, the Scarecrow, Nick Chopper, Tik-Tok, Old Mombi, Jinjur, Scraps, The Shaggy Man, Betsy Bobbin, and Jack Pumpkinhead. After a party and registration, it's on to class with Professor Wogglebug. When Tip and Jack carry him out of the classroom, he subjects them to a blue book exam, after which they wish to return to the U of M. The equivalent characters are not played by the same people, so there transformation, their "true self" appears behind them in the early scenes.

  9. The Wizard of Oz

    The Wizard of Oz

    1939

  10. Tales of the Wizard of Oz

    #10

    Tales of the Wizard of Oz, created in 1961, was an animated television series crafted by Crawley Films for Videocraft, (later known as Rankin/Bass Productions.) This was the studio's second venture into animation and Rankin/Bass's inaugural foray into traditional animation. Characters from L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz are given additional names, including Dandy the Cowardly Lion, Rusty the Tin Man, and Socrates the Strawman, expanding upon the original with these fresh monikers.

  11. Return to Oz

    #11

    Rather than adapt a later or create a new Oz story, this production has Dorothy still in posession of the shoes, and she clings to an apple tree during a tornado which takes her back to Oz. The Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and Lion (using the names created for the nearly-abstract television series, Tales of the Wizard of Oz, from which this was derived) have had their MGM gifts destroyed by the restored Wicked Witch, and the four proceed to the Wizard for help, who is ineffectual as usual.

  12. The Wizard of Mars

    #12

    In 1974, four astronauts, silver shoe-clad Dorothy, overweight Doc, goofy Charlie, and wooden Steve, crash land on Mars when taking readings, with only four days of supplies. They must try to survive on the surface, which is barren except for some canals with huge maggots with fins. After embarking through a golden igneous cavern, braving a storm and finding an unmanned Earth vessel, they discover a golden road which leads them to the unchanging ruins of what was once a beautiful Martian city. The Martians are modeled on the Flatheads of Oz, and their collective consciousness, the "Wizard," forbids them to leave until they perform a very small task...

  14. No. 16: Oz: The Tin Woodman's Dream

    #14

    The Tin Woodman, framed by light bulbs, does a little dance, leaps and retrieves his axe from outside the frame, chops down a tree that turns into various objects, grabs a heart emblem from the corner, and goes to the Emerald City at night with Toto. He goes to the edge of a cliff, where he meats an Asian spirit who gives him a heart shape that becomes a kite that hooks to him with a cane. This is followed by approximately ten minutes of kaleidoscopic images, including a man's hands, a dancing girl, and a cutout of Krishna.
