Can you help Dorothy find her way home from Oz? Make good choices or she may fall into the hands of a Wicked Witch instead — and Toto too!
Auntie Em tells Dorothy to take a new job and gain new experiences south of 125th street.
What should Dorothy do?
Before Dorothy can decide whether or not to listen to Auntie Em she gets distracted chasing after that dog Toto, out into the snow and cold with nothing on her head! The Good Witch Glinda and a swirl of snow transport Dorothy to a mysterious land where her arrival results in the death of the Wicked Witch Evermean.
Oops. How does Dorothy feel about unaliving the Wicked Witch?
Dorothy feels terrible about accidentally landing on Evermean and killing her, even if she was a wicked witch.
Dorothy is so overcome with guilt, she stays in Oz educating the Munchkins on the playground in Evermean's honor. But after a few years her homesickness becomes so overwhelming she decides to try to find her way home.
Dorothy puts on Evermean's super cute silver heels and is off to see the Wiz. Dorothy comes across a scarecrow, a tin man and a lion, all in need of help.
Dorothy only has time to save one friend to join her on her journey to the Emerald City. Who should she help?

Dorothy decides she doesn't have time to save anyone and goes it alone.
Dorothy decides she doesn't need any help finding her way home — she's gonna go it alone! When she encounters the dancing Poppies, she drifts of into a deep slumber. The Poppies lift her silver slippers off her feet as she dreams, and she remains forever suspended between two realms, the land of Oz and the real world she so desperately wanted to return to.
Dorothy decides to save Scarecrow.
Dorothy helps free the Scarecrow by shooing off the crows with Toto's help. After a pep talk, Dorothy and Scarecrow find the Yellow Brick Road.
In the Emerald City, Scarecrow is immune to Evillene's tortures and tips Dorothy off on pulling the fire alarm. The water that gushes forth, melts the Wicked Witch. Dorothy and Scarecrow return to the Wiz, only to learn that she had what she needed all along to return home.
Dorothy decides to save Tin Man.
Dorothy helps Tin Man chug down some oil to get him moving again. After razzle dazzle dancing through an abandoned amusement park, Dorothy and Tin Man get to easing on down the Yellow Brick Road.
In the Emerald City, waiting to see the Wiz, the Tin Man gets caught caught still wearing green after the Wiz has decreed gold the color of the scene. The Wiz has Dorothy and Tin Man whisked away by the flying monkeys to the Wicked Witch Evillene and neither of them are ever seen again.
Dorothy decides to save Lion.
The musty Lion bursts forth from a concrete statue. He's all bluster about his bravery, then throws a tantrum over the slightest nibble from Toto before admitting he's got no courage. Dorothy assures him we're all scared sometimes. The two dance over some yellow cabs and down to the subway headed for the Emerald City.
Unfortunately, before the train arrives, villains and monsters appear from nowhere. Lion flees leaving Dorothy behind in the subway station all alone. Two trashcan monsters devour her and any chance of her achieving her dream of returning home.
