Film
1063: Return to Oz
Trivia: A
gymnast, Michael Sundin, stood
upside-down (with legs bent) and backwards inside Tik-Tok's body to move the
legs.
The
movie is based on the second and third Oz books: "The Marvelous Land of
Oz" and "Ozma of Oz". Elements from the former include the
introduction of Jack Pumpkinhead, the witch Mombi and her powder of life, the
conquest of the Emerald City, the escape by flying sofa, and the search for
Princess Ozma. From the latter comes the return of Dorothy, the talking chicken
Billina, the wheelers, the discovery of Tick-Tock, a princess with
interchangeable heads, the introduction of the Nome King, and the ornament
room.
The film
received a mention in the Guinness Book of World Records as the sequel that was
made the longest period of time after the original - it was released 46 years
after The Wizard of Oz (1939).
When
Dorothy is in the hospital in Kansas, she is kept in room 31 by Nurse Wilson
(Mombi). Later, when Dorothy is in Oz, Mombi's "original" head is
kept in cabinet 31.
