Dorothy Gale is swept away to a magical land in a tornado and embarks on a quest to see the Wizard who can help her return home. - IMDB

It has been a long while since I last watched The Wizard of Oz but I always go back to it like an old friend. When I was in school I was given a book voucher as a gift for good work, with this voucher I chose The Wizard of Oz.
Though the film and the book have a few differences I feel they both are great in their own ways.
