Dorothy Gale is a fictional character created by L. Frank Baum as the main protagonist in many of his Oz novels. She first appears in Baums classic childrens novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz 1. In addition, she is the main character in various adaptations, notably the classic 1. The Wizard of Oz. In later novels, the Land of Oz steadily becomes more familiar to her than her homeland of Kansas. Indeed, Dorothy eventually goes to live in an apartment in the Emerald Citys palace but only after her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry have settled in a farmhouse on its outskirts, unable to pay the mortgage on their house in Kansas. Dorothys best friend Princess Ozma, ruler of Oz, officially makes her a princess of Oz later in the novels. AppearanceseditIn literatureeditIn the Oz books, Dorothy is an orphan raised by her aunt and uncle in the bleak landscape of a Kansas farm. Whether Aunt Em or Uncle Henry is Dorothys blood relative remains unclear. Uncle Henry makes reference to Dorothys mother in The Emerald City of Oz, possibly an indication that Henry is Dorothys blood relative. It is also possible that Aunt and Uncle are affectionate terms of a foster family and that Dorothy is not related to either of them, although Zeb in Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz claims to be Dorothys second cousin, related through Aunt Em. Little mention is made of what happened to Dorothys birth parents, other than a passing reference to her mother being dead. Along with her small black dog, Toto, Dorothy is swept away by a tornado to the Land of Oz and, much like Alice of Alices Adventures in Wonderland, they enter an alternative world filled with talking creatures. In many of the Oz books, Dorothy is the main heroine of the story. She is often seen with her best friend and the ruler of Oz, Princess Ozma. Her trademark blue and white gingham dress is admired by the Munchkins because blue is their favorite color and white is worn only by good witches and sorceresses, which indicates to them that Dorothy is a good witch. I Want To Watch The Full Cartoon Of The Nut Job. Dorothy has a forthright and take charge character, exhibiting no fear when she slaps the Cowardly Lion, and organizing the Winkies rescue mission of her friends who have been dismembered by the Winged monkeys. She is not afraid of angering the Wicked Witch of the West, as shown when the Witch stole one of Dorothys slippers, and in retaliation, Dorothy hurled a bucket of water over her, not knowing water was fatal to the witch. She brazenly rebuffs Princess Langwideres threat to take her head for her collection Well, I blieve you wont. Following Anna Laughlins portrayal of the character in the popular 1. Broadway version of The Wizard of Oz, Baum scripts Dorothy to speak in childlike contractions with Ozma of Oz, which she continues to do throughout the series. This aspect of her character was somewhat lessened by her companionship of Ozma, in whom Baum placed the greater level of wisdom and dignity. Yet even this is complicated by her associations with her cousin, Zeb of Hugsons Ranch, a rugged, manly boy who does not take well to Oz and cannot think of anything much more interesting than defeating the Munchkins wrestling champion, which he proves unable to do. Dorothy has several other pets, including her whitepinkpurple kitten, Eureka. Popular in crossword puzzles is Dorothys cow, Imogene, from the 1. Eric Shanowers novel, The Giant Garden of Oz, features a cow named Imogene. In the sixth Oz book by Baum, The Emerald City of Oz 1. Uncle Henry and Aunt Em are unable to pay the mortgage on the new farmhouse built at the end of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dorothy brings them to live in Oz the plot features a tour of Oz as a marvelous, Utopian land in which they have escaped the troubles of Kansas. She becomes princess of Oz and Ozmas companion, essentially marrying the queen. Dorothy is a standard character, having at least a cameo role in thirteen of the fourteen Oz books written by L. Frank Baum while she did not appear at all in The Marvelous Land of Oz, she is mentioned several times in that story, as it was her actions in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz that led to the events in the former and is at least a frequent figure in the nineteen that followed by author Ruth Plumly Thompson, getting at least a cameo in all her books except Captain Salt in Oz in which neither Oz nor any of its inhabitants appear, though they are mentioned. Major subsequent appearances by Dorothy in the Famous Forty are in The Lost Princess of Oz, Glinda of Oz, The Royal Book of Oz, Grampa in Oz, The Lost King of Oz, The Wishing Horse of Oz, Ozoplaning with the Wizard of Oz, and The Magical Mimics in Oz. Most of the other books focus on different child protagonists, some Ozite, some from other Nonestican realms, and some from the United States, and as such, her appearances in the main series become more and more limited. In Jack Snows The Magical Mimics in Oz 1. Ozma places Dorothy on the throne of Oz while she is away visiting Queen Lurlines fairy band. The magic of Oz keeps Dorothy young. In The Lost King of Oz 1. Wish Way carries Dorothy to a film set in Hollywood, California. She begins to age very rapidly to her late 2. The Wish Way carries her back to Oz and restores her to her younger self, but she learns then that it would be unwise for her ever to return to the outside world. Baum never states Dorothys age, but he does state in The Lost Princess of Oz that she is a year younger than Betsy Bobbin and a year older than Trot, whose age was specified as 1. Ruth Plumly Thompsons The Giant Horse of Oz. Thompsons Oz books show a certain intolerance in Dorothy. In The Cowardly Lion of Oz, circus clown Notta Bit More arrives in the Emerald City disguised as a traditional witch, and Dorothy immediately starts dumping buckets water on him without provocation although she reacted this way on the assumption that the witch Notta was an evil witch like her old enemy, the Wicked Witch of the West. In The Wishing Horse of Oz, she makes unsavory comments about the dark coloration Gloma and her subjects take on as a disguise, making them somewhat resemble black people. This behavior is not characteristic of Dorothy in Baums Oz books. In The Patchwork Girl of Oz, she pushes and slaps through crowds of black Tottenhots to rescue the Scarecrow, whom they are tossing around, but this is more an example of her gumption than any sort of prejudice, as she is otherwise kind and polite to the Tottenhots, and accepts that their ways are different from those who dwell in the Emerald City. The authorized sequels of Sherwood Smith, The Emerald Wand of Oz and Trouble Under Oz, center on the child characters Dori and Em, who live with their Aunt Susan. All three are indirect descendants of Dorothy, though their specific relationship to her is unclear. Philip Jos Farmers 1.

Hank knows that he is in Oz because his mother, Dorothy Gale Stover, had been there back in 1. Farmers premise is that Dorothy only visited Oz once and told her story to a journalist called Frank Baum. This journalist would later create a series of books from Dorothys only adventure in Oz. Farmers Oz is on the brink of both a civil war and an invasion by the United States Army. Dorothys last name is never mentioned in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz or The Marvelous Land of Oz, the first two Oz books. It is disclosed in the third book Ozma of Oz 1. The last name of Gale was originally mentioned in Baums script for the 1. Broadway stage version of The Wizard of Oz, in which it was originally a setup for a punning joke. The Wizard of Oz 1.

Stars Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale and Terry The Dog, as Toto. Margaret Hamilton as The Wicked Witch of the West with Dorothy Gale. The film begins in Kansas, which is depicted in a sepia tone. Dorothy Gale lives with her dog, Toto, on her Aunt Em and Uncle Henrys farm. Toto gets in trouble with a mean neighbor, Miss Almira Gulch, when he bites her. However, Dorothys family and the farmhands are all too busy to listen to her troubles. Miss Gulch produces an order from the sheriff allowing her to have Toto put down. She takes him away, but he escapes and returns to Dorothy who, fearing that Miss Gulch will return, decides to run away from home. After some miles Dorothy and Toto encounter Professor Marvel, a kindly fortune teller who, realizing Dorothy has run away, uses his crystal ball to convince her that Aunt Em is ill. Dorothy races home just as a tornado approaches. Locked out of the storm cellar, she seeks safety in the house, where a wind blown window sash knocks her out. She awakens to find the tornado has sent the house spinning into the sky. Outside the window she sees farm animals, an old lady knitting in a chair, two men rowing a boat, and finally Miss Gulch, who transforms into a cackling witch riding a broomstick. Suddenly the house strikes the ground and all is quiet. As Dorothy opens the door the film changes to Technicolor  she and Toto have landed in Munchkinland, part of the Land of Oz. Glinda the Good Witch of the North and the Munchkins welcome her as their heroine the house has landed on and killed the Wicked Witch of the East, leaving only her feet poking out from under. In the middle of the celebration, the Wicked Witch of the West arrives in a ball of smoke and fire to claim her sisters ruby slippers, but Glinda transports them onto Dorothys feet before the witch can get them. The witch swears revenge on Dorothy for her sisters death. Glinda tells Dorothy to follow the yellow brick road to the Emerald City, where the Wizard of Oz might be able to help her get back home. On her way, Dorothy meets and befriends a Scarecrow, who wants a brain, and invites him to join her on her journey. Eventually they come to an apple orchard where they find and befriend a Tin Man, who desires a heart. After they invite him to come along, the Witch appears and makes threats to them. Deep in the woods, they meet a Cowardly Lion, who is in need of courage and invite him to come along as well. After the Witch attempts to stop them using an enchanted poppy field, they finally reach the Emerald City. Inside, after being initially rejected, they are permitted to see the Wizard, who appears as a large disembodied head surrounded by fire. He agrees to grant their wishes when they bring him the Witch of the Wests broomstick, implying they must kill her to get it. On their journey to the Witchs castle, they pass through the Haunted Forest, while the Witch views their progress in her crystal ball. She sends her winged monkeys to attack them they capture Dorothy and Toto. At the castle, the Witch is refrained by magic when she tries to get the ruby slippers off Dorothys feet, then remembers that she must be dead first. Toto escapes and leads the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion to the castle. After ambushing three Winkie guards, they march inside wearing the stolen guards uniforms and free her, but the Witch discovers and traps them. The Scarecrow provides a distraction and they attempt to escape, being chased by the Witch and her guards, but are finally surrounded. The Witch sets fire to the Scarecrow and Dorothy puts it out with a bucket of water and unwittingly melts and kills the witch as the water splashes on her. The guards rejoice that she is dead and give Dorothy the charred broomstick in gratitude. Back at the Emerald City, they bring the broomstick to the Wizard. But when they ask him to keep his promises, the Wizard delays granting their requests much to their shock and frustration. During the argument, Toto pulls back a curtain and exposes the Wizard as a normal middle aged man who has been projecting the fearsome image he denies Dorothys accusation that he is a bad man, but admits to being a humbug. He then gives the Scarecrow a diploma, the Lion a medal and the Tin Man a ticking heart shaped clock, making them realize that they had what they wanted all along. They just did not know it yet. He then prepares to launch his hot air balloon to take Dorothy home but Toto runs off, and as she tries to get him back, the balloon leaves without them. Suddenly, Glinda returns and tells her that she can still return home by using the ruby slippers. After sharing a tearful farewell with her friends, Dorothy follows Glindas instructions and taps her heels together three times and repeats, Theres no place like home. She wakes up in bed at her home in Kansas, surrounded by her family, the farmhands, Professor Marvel and Toto. Though they dismiss her adventure as a dream, she insists that it was all real, and that there is no place like home. Bert Lahr as The Cowardly Lion.
