MoreDorothy Gale is a young farm girl who lives with her guardians, Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, in Kansas in the early 1900s. Dorothy is in trouble with the mean Miss Gulch, but her guardians and farm hands Hunk, Hickory, and Zeke are too busy to pay attention to her. Miss Gulch arrives with permission from a sheriff to have Dorothy's dog Toto put down for biting her on the leg. Toto is taken away, but escapes, much to Dorothy's delight. Dorothy runs away from home with Toto to escape Miss Gulch. They meet Professor Marvel, a fortuneteller, who realizes Dorothy has run away and tricks her via his crystal ball into believing her Aunt Em is ill. As Dorothy returns home, a storm comes up. Unable to get into the storm cellar, Dorothy is hit by a window pane and knocked out. She wakes up to discover the house is being carried aloft by a tornado. The house lands in the Technicolor world of Oz in Munchkin Land. Dorothy is greeted by Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, and the Munchkins, who treat her like a heroine because her house has killed the Wicked Witch of the East. The dead witch's sister, the Wicked Witch of the West, arrives. As she is about to claim the ruby slippers from her sister's feet, Glinda transfers them to Dorothy's feet instead. The Witch of the West swears revenge on Dorothy (and Toto). Glinda tells Dorothy to follow the yellow brick road to the Emerald City, where the Wizard of Oz might be able to help her get back home. - wikipedia
