Pon rescues a Kansas girl named Dorothy from the evil witch Mombi, whom Princess Gloria has been taken to by King Krewl to freeze her heart so she will no longer love Pon. An Indian princess has a ceremony to bring the Scarecrow to life. Pon rescues the cold-hearted princess and they flee for help, discovering the Scarecrow, who promptly falls in love with the princess, and Button-Bright, a lost boy from America. They come to the castle of the Tin Emperor, Nick Chopper, and after oiling him, he falls in love with Gloria. After a bit of a chase aided by the Sawhorse and the Wizard, Mombi turns Pon into a Kangaroo, and a slough of Fred Woodward's animals battle it out.

    Weird silent OZ movie which doesn't make much sense - things were certainly different back in 1914, weren't they??

    This one was again written and produced by Baum. It was supposedly released a month later and ran longer in length than The Magic Cloak. The more developed story makes it an improvement over The Magic Cloak. The evil dictator King Krewl appears though he is not a character fro...( read more)m the books. The special effects are pretty awesome considering it is so early in the history of narrative films. Children and parents must have been amazed.

    Another very interesting take on the Oz stories. This was directed by the creator L. Frank Baum, so he knew what he wanted to do with htis instead of depending on someone else's ideas. This was one of the better silent film versions.

    An interesting silent movie (with theater organ music) based on the OZ books. Mombi and Dorthy as well as the OZ cast are in here battling the wicked Mobi and Evil King.
