That's taken from the illustrations of the original book this cartoon was based on. In the illustrations by John R. Neill, Dorothy is depicted as blonde.
look at any of L. Frank Baum's own silent movies; Ozma always appears at the beginning, played by Vivian Reed, smiling at the audience, and in "The Patchwork Girl of Oz" (one of those movies) Ozma is played, again as a brunette, by Jessie May Walsh. But given that Ozma is a fairy and capable of magic, I fancy she can change the color of her hair on a whim.
I love the Hungry Tiger in this animated film. Fun Fact I was born on the year of the Tiger so I can relate to him rather well. I'm also autistic and cowardly in Cowardly Lion's name and autistic have the same number of letters so, can I relate to Cowardly Lion. Also, Billina's name and autism have the same number of letters as well, so I relate to her as well. Wheelers and autistic also have the same number of letters so I can relate to the wheelers as well. Also, my first name and last name have the same number of letters as tiger and lion and hens as well. 01 - Billina the Yellow Hen. 02 - Cowardly Lion. 03 - Hungry Tiger. 04 - Wheelers. Those are characters I can relate to since they might be autistic or have autism. So, 04 characters is not bad.
its kinda funny when scarecrow says a funny about tick-tock, but when the others behind them groans is even funnier. P.S. The scarecrows voice sounds almost like a teenage boy.
That's okay, I quite forgot about the Shirley Temple version myself-- and I was just watching it the other day, too!. I've read that in the black-and-white illustrations John Neill deliberately darkened Ozma's hair to make a contrast with Dorothy's golden locks. That's the really weird thing; because of Judy Garland, most people think Dorothy was a brunette.
Well, when you consider that he was only three days old when Dorothy met him, it's not inappropriate for him to have a young voice. Hinton Battle was only 16 when he played the Scarecrow in the original Broadway production of "The Wiz," and I saw a new musical called "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" in Toronto in 2002 in which another 16 year-old played the part.
@JumbaFan It follows the book quite closely; it's simply that a few scenes and elements have been removed for time considerations and ease of production. Just like the MGM film of "Wizard," in that way.
waaaa!! This is cool and everything, but I'm such a die-hard fan for the books... I wish this were more like the third book! It's pretty damn close tho. Way better than the original movie, at least, lol.
Yeah I'm reading that too... I thought Ozma's fate would be a bit more interesting since the Nome King was made ruler of Oz... with Ozma's policy on limiting magic users and such I could have almost seen her throwing in with the Adversary. Oh well I'm just happy to see her in Fables at all (even if she is one head flower short)
I think you're thinking of "The Lost Princess of Oz," in which Ozma was kidnapped. In "Ozma of Oz," the plot wasmuch the same as you see here, only with more characters and a few more things happening.
While she didn't have quite the gumption of Baum's Dorothy, Judy Garland's characterization was not in the least what you describe. As for Billie Burke, that was just her acting style; and it's not unknown in fantasy tales for a personage of great power to effect an apparently harmless demeanor-- it tends to make people underestimate them, you see. Think of how Yoda acted when Luke Skywalker first met him.
It was poorly stated. He actually eats vast amounts, but can never eat the thing he really wants to eat, which is a fat baby. He craves babies, but his conscience won't allow him to eat them. So he tries to fill the void with lots of other food, but it just doesn't do it for him.
The closest adaptation I've ever seen-- not that there have been many. There was a seres narrated by Margot Kidder (Lois Lane in Oz?) which adapted books 1, 2, 3, and 6, but each one got further away from the original material; in that "Ozma of Oz," Ozma was only in it for about 10 minutes.
Um... The anime you just described is called "The Marvelous Land of Oz." They did do a third one called "Ozma of Oz," but this one actually follows the book better than that one. That series is very good though. (Especially if you can get all 52 unedited episodes.) I'm sure the uploader put this up because it was a rare Oz video.
Im reading Fables at the moment. apprently theres a power struggle between ozma and frau totenkinder over the leadership of the 13th floor. so they can defeat mr.dark and reclaim fabletown
Well...the storyline doesn't follow the book and the voice acting is rather wooden...but it's still a cute cartoon that little kids would enjoy. I agree with other posters (minus the profanity) that the book is much better, but I still like this.
Well, put him away anyhow; the Wizard wouldn't ant anybody killed. Of all the told and retold history of Oz, the biggest mystery is just what happened with Oscar Z. Diggs (the Wizard, for those who don't know his name), King Pastoria, Princess Ozma, and Mombi and who did what as far as hiding the baby heir. I've actually written an outline for a story which tells the whole tale, taking all the conflicting versions into account
Well it doesn't make sense for her to actually be Gepetto's agent cause if she was willing to work with him she'd still be on the throne of the Emerald City instead of the Nome King. Anyway we should probably stop filling comments on this video with talk of Fables.
This movie is more closely based on the book "Ozma of Oz", which does not feature Jack Pumpkinhead. Jack Pumpkinhead in the books appeared in the book prior, titled "Land of Oz".
The fuck is this?!?!?!?! This is not Ozma of OZ, if this was really Ozma of Oz, Ozma would of been a boy when she first met Dorothy. Then Glinda turns her back to her original sex. This is bullshit. I prefer the anime other then this piece of complete shit. At least they were accurate. Yes there's an anime of the Wizard of OZ, I'm not talking about the 90's series. I mean the real Japanese anime that was made in the 80's that was really damn good. If you're a real fan of the WOZ look it up.
Tip was transformed back into Ozma LONG before Dorothy came back to Oz. Considering you can't even get the events right, I'm not sure you're one to talk about being a "real" fan. XD
How the fuck is this at all accurate? The whole point of the bok is that they are searching for Ozma, and here she is not even in trouble, but greeting Dorothy. Tick Tock is the one that saves them from the Wheelers. Where is Polychrome, if Tick Tock belongs to the Queen of Ev why does it say Oz on his chest. More to the point the book is very good, and this is really bad.
When Dorthy hugs Ballina. That noise tho. "MBEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!" Lol Im DED 💀😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Scarecrows Laugh! SO CUTE!!!!!! OH MY GODNESS!
That works; he first presents himself in the book as a kind and benevolent ruler.
Loved the book, and loved this cartoon :D
0:34 That Wheeler goes a little kookoo for a second.
I used to die with laughter when Ozma would hit the lead wheeler....
I thought that Ozma would do something magical with that staff but she just hit them with it 😂😂💀
That's taken from the illustrations of the original book this cartoon was based on. In the illustrations by John R. Neill, Dorothy is depicted as blonde.
Unlike Ozma to be violent, but otherwise, this is a splendid characterization.

I agree 100 percent! Nice to see there's another person who wishes the movie (1939) were more accurate.
@JumbaFan It follows the book quite closely; it's simply that a few scenes and elements have been removed for time considerations and ease of production.
Just like the MGM film of "Wizard," in that way.
Was this a theatrical release, TV show or ??
The Iron Giant - not to be confused with the Warner Bros animated feature.
waaaa!! This is cool and everything, but I'm such a die-hard fan for the books... I wish this were more like the third book! It's pretty damn close tho. Way better than the original movie, at least, lol.
Ozma appointed by the Wizard? That's an interesting twist.....
Yeah I'm reading that too... I thought Ozma's fate would be a bit more interesting since the Nome King was made ruler of Oz... with Ozma's policy on limiting magic users and such I could have almost seen her throwing in with the Adversary.
Oh well I'm just happy to see her in Fables at all (even if she is one head flower short)

All these comments from 2009 making me feel young.
"Affect," that should have been.
While she didn't have quite the gumption of Baum's Dorothy, Judy Garland's characterization was not in the least what you describe.

I love that!! XD

Read the book; his "courage" ran out. His real courage, which was always there, is still there.

This is Oz.
@princerei Actually, it was bran brains, mixed with pins and needles, and a velvet heart stuffed with sawdust.
*winds the key in Luckynumber78's head*
Um... The anime you just described is called "The Marvelous Land of Oz." They did do a third one called "Ozma of Oz," but this one actually follows the book better than that one.

The cowardly lion in the books wasn't this useless. Indeed, he wasn't really cowardly.
Well...the storyline doesn't follow the book and the voice acting is rather wooden...but it's still a cute cartoon that little kids would enjoy. I agree with other posters (minus the profanity) that the book is much better, but I still like this.
Ozma wasn't in "Wizard"; how'd they work that?
Well, put him away anyhow; the Wizard wouldn't ant anybody killed.
Of all the told and retold history of Oz, the biggest mystery is just what happened with Oscar Z. Diggs (the Wizard, for those who don't know his name), King Pastoria, Princess Ozma, and Mombi and who did what as far as hiding the baby heir.

Would have been nice, but the budget just didn't allow.
Oh god I would kick that wheelers ass.
Well it doesn't make sense for her to actually be Gepetto's agent cause if she was willing to work with him she'd still be on the throne of the Emerald City instead of the Nome King. Anyway we should probably stop filling comments on this video with talk of Fables.
@MrColuber Oh, he was cowardly. He just wasn't a coward.
Yep, you're the only one.
How dare they demote the Queen??????
Where is Jack Pumkinhead .
This movie is more closely based on the book "Ozma of Oz", which does not feature Jack Pumpkinhead. Jack Pumpkinhead in the books appeared in the book prior, titled "Land of Oz".
That was easy to get in 0.o
I don't know if it's the story or horrible dialogue making me want to pound my head against the desk...
Uh... I'm about to pull the trigger with the gun pointed at Queen Ozma's head. What the heck is this stuff?
blonde dorothy wtf ???
yes but he reverted back to his homosexual ways lol
The fuck is this?!?!?!?! This is not Ozma of OZ, if this was really Ozma of Oz, Ozma would of been a boy when she first met Dorothy. Then Glinda turns her back to her original sex. This is bullshit. I prefer the anime other then this piece of complete shit. At least they were accurate.

I see you haven't read the books.
Dorothy's voice is annoying... And Ozma's is so bland
this is a very dumb! and werid!
