Historia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 – May 6, 1919) was an American author of children's books, best known for writing The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He wrote thirteen novel sequels, nine other fantasy novels, and a host of other works (55 novels in total, plus four "lost" novels), 82 short stories, over 200 poems, an unknown number of scripts, and many miscellaneous writings), and made numerous attempts to bring his works to the stage and screen. His works predicted such century-later commonplaces as television, laptop computers (The Master Key), wireless telephones (Tik-Tok of Oz), women in high risk, action-heavy occupations (Mary Louise in the Country), and the ubiquity of advertising on clothing (Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work).

At the 1991 Winkie and Munchkin Conventions, part of the programs was the 1948 Capitol Records audio-only adaptation of “Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz”.

To preserve MacVeigh’s wonderful slideshow, the presentation was put on videotape posthumously in 1993. In this adaptation Dorothy, the Wizard, cousin Zeb, Jim the Horse, and Dorothy’s cat, Eureka, have an adventure throughout some of the surrounding countries of Oz.
Yellow Brick Road
Writer
The Wizard of Oz
Writer
This whaked out anime short pulls out all the stops, making fun of every aspect of the story and filmmaking in general.

El Mago de Oz
Original Story
El Mago de Oz (オズの魔法使い Ozu no Mahōtsukai?) es una película de anime coproducida entre Japón y Estados Unidos dirigida por Fumihiko Takayama a partir de un guion de Yoshimitsu Banno y Akira Miyazaki, que está basada en la novela de 1900 escrita por L. Frank Baum. Está producida por Yoshimitsu Banno y Katsumi Ueno para Toho. Aunque esta película no tiene ninguna relación con la serie anime de 1986 que produjo Panmedia, más allá de estar basada en el mismo libro, el hecho de que la película se estrenara en Japón el mismo año que la serie se emitió por primera vez (y el hecho de que ambas se publicaron también en Estados Unidos y Canadá) hace que los dos trabajos suelan confundirse.

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.
