Return to Kansas
After their adventure in Oz, Dorothy and Toto returned to Kansas. However, after returning home, Dorothy realized that Kansas was...lame. It was drab, boring and gray, and she missed the color and beauty of Oz, and the friends she made there. -
New Homes
After Dorothy left, the lion went to rule the forest, the Scarecrow returned to the Emerald City, and the Tin Woodman went to Winkie Country in the West. -
A Witch in the West
While the Tin Woodman ruled the Winkies well with his new heart, his rule was not completely unchallenged. An evil witch had her eyes on the West, and began attacking the West in an attempt to steal, the Woodman's throne. -
Omaha, Nebraska
Longing for the excitement and wonder of Oz, Dorothy and Toto left home as soon as Dorothy was old enough. They headed to Omaha, Nebraska, to try and find the former wizard of Oz, in an attempt to go back to Oz. -
The Other Lion
The Lion was shocked one day to find a strange lion in his forest. This other lion was full of more courage thought possible, intimidating the Lion. -
A Quest for Courage
For months, the other lion had proven himself to be the bravest creature around time and time again. Whenever the Lion heard of a terrible beast terrorizing the creatures of the forest, the other lion defeated it before the Lion could even get near. The Lion knew that in order to defeat this new lion and reclaim his place as king, he would have to obtain more courageous courage; courage so amazing that the other lion wouldn't stand a chance. -
The Wizard
After over a year of searching, Dorothy found the Wizard, and the two built a balloon to try and travel to Oz. -
The Emerald City Fire
The Scarecrow heard terrified screams and footsteps rushing everywhere. Going out into the hallway, he saw that most of the building was consumed by flames. Horified at the thought of getting even a single ember on him, the Scarecrow dashed madly out of the city, and proceeded to run as far away, as fast as he could. -
A Lion in the Emerald City
Deciding that his wise friend the Scarecrow would know what to do, the Lion decided to go to the Emerald City and ask for advice on where to obtain the greatest kind of courage. However, as he arrived at the Scarecrow's palace, he was distracted by a chilling scream from the Eastern Tower... -
A Dangerous Mistake
The bravery of his deed finally sinking in, the Lion felt himself overflow with a powerful courage. He walked down the tower stairs happily, the little girl skipping ahead. Suddenly, his tail accidentally knocked over a lit candle, which had soon set a corner of the nearby curtains alight. The Lion shrugged. He was sure nothing bad would come of it. Besides, he was too excited at the thought of finally reclaiming the forest as his own to worry about it too much. -
The Girl in the Tower
Heading towards the origin of the scream, the Lion ran through the twisting hallways of the palace and up to the top of the Eastern Tower. Hanging from the window of the crumbling tower was a little girl, who was dangling by her shoe strap hundreds of feet in the air. Knowing that the tower could fall apart at any minute, the Lion quickly rushed towards the girl and, grabbing her shoe strap delicately, pulled her back up and into the safety of the hallway. -
The Finding of Oz
After about two weeks in the hot air balloon, the wizard and Dorothy could see the end of the desert. Not long after they began their descent, Dorothy saw her old friends the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow walking together through a forest far below the balloon. Dorothy called out to them, and they quickly dashed out of the way to avoid being flattened as the balloon landed where they had been just moments before. -
Together Again
Dorothy, Toto, the Wizard, the Woodman and the Scarecrow all walked together to the Woodman's castle in Winkie Country, completely absorbed in the joy of being (mostly) united at last. -
The Rainstorm and the Woodman
Thanks to the evil witch forgetting her umbrella, she was melted and, therefore, destroyed in a terrible rainstorm. Unfortunately, the Woodman was walking in the forest during the rainstorm, and, as was to be expected, his joints rusted completely and he was stuck in place. -
The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman
In his terror, the Scarecrow hadn't noticed that the stuck Tin Woodman was directly in front of him, and therefore, the scarecrow crashed into him painfully. Seeing that his friend was stuck, the Scarecrow carefully oiled the Woodman's joints, and, chatting as old friends do, went together back to the Woodman's castle.
