Return To Oz
Originally released: 1985
Dorothy’s (Balk) return journey is more frightening than flying monkeys. Aunt Em (Laurie), worried about Dorothy's bad dreams, takes her to a quack for electroconvulsive treatment. Just when everything's going Bell Jar-shaped, Bettina the chicken rescues her mistress, and Dorothy finds herself in a new Oz, run by the rock-eating Nome King (Williamson). Her old friends are gone, turned into trinkets. In their place she acquires gangly Jack Pumpkinhead and stout-hearted TickTock. New enemies - the Wheelers, Princess Mombie and the Nome King himself - are determined to stop Dorothy reaching home. Like the comedown to 1960s acid-trip The Wizard Of Oz.
