    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      L. Frank Baum's fairylands were meant to give America a mythology. Though based on European archetypes, their characters are very American in their thoughts and mannerisms. By contrast, this version has more British accents (mostly Scottish) than American, and the soundtrack is based on Celtic folk music.
