Return to Oz was a film I saw when it was first released in the mid 80s. It's based on the 2nd and 3rd Oz books (yes, there was more than one) The Marvelous Land of Oz and Ozma of Oz. It also echoes the MGM film in that people that appear in Kansas reappear in Oz as other characters in Oz. But there are no songs in this film, which is unusual for a Disney film (though not so much for a live action one).

Lots of details get changed. Mombi the Witch gets merged with Langwidere (who has a collection of heads she likes to wear) and the Nome King is much more an elemental force in this film. But some sections - like trying to pick the right ornament in a room of ornaments - is taken straight from the books. The SFX looks a bit dated nowadays, being mostly stop animation, claymation, and variations of back and front screen projection. I don't think the film was successful, as there was never a sequel. This was Fairuza Balk's first film and she played Dorothy. She's appeared in 29 films since then, with mixed results. Also, Ozma's back story was dropped (she started out as a boy called "Tip") and the Kansas shown in the film looks rather odd, perhaps because it was short in Britain?

But there is one thing in this film that makes me love it - Tik Tok - which is just like the books.
