This is the story that started it all. It begins when a little Kansas farm girl, Dorothy Gale, and her  dog Toto are blown away in a tornado and land in a fairyland named Oz. Here she meets a very  unusual cast of characters - the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and Cowardly Lion, and together  they go on a quest to see the Wizard of Oz, each of them seeking what they want most in life.  Making their way along the Yellow Brick Road through a series of hair-raising encounters, they  arrive at the Emerald City only to be told by the Wizard that they first must kill the Wicked Witch  of the West before he will grant their wishes.
