Return To Oz

Inspired by the 1985 Disney movie Return To Oz, which I began to think of as I lay the train tracks through the sunflower field.

If you haven't seen the movie, it's not at all like the Judy Garland, Wizard of Oz, but very dark and definitely not for young children.

It weaves two or more of Frank Baum's books together to tell the story of Dorothy after returning from Oz. Auntie Em and Uncle Henry are very worried about her condition since the tornado. She cannot sleep and is preoccupied with her tales of Oz. They send her to an asylum for electro- shock therapy.

The asylum is dark and foreboding, staffed with a sadistic nurse and a mad doctor. In the middle of a storm, the doctor and nurse prepare Dorothy for her treatment and just as they are putting the electo-shock therapy machine on her head, the power goes out.

Dorothy escapes, with help from a mysterious blonde girl, and the adventures begin, but Oz is not the same as she remembers.
