The Wizard of Oz

Description

«This unforgettable classic tells the adventurous story of little Dorothy from Kansas, who is carried by a tornado to the magical land of Oz beyond the rainbow. To return home, she must first find the Wizard of Oz and defeat an evil witch. This is not so easy. On her perilous journey, she is joined by a good witch, a straw scarecrow, a tin woodman, and a cowardly lion.» (hanisauland.de) «We always seem to be missing something. But don’t we sometimes already have everything – and just don’t know it? Dorothy learns on her trip to Oz that there is actually no place like home. And her new friends realize that they already had much more heart, intelligence, and courage than they thought. The 1939 film tells this story as a wonderful fairy tale with numerous songs.» (kinderfilmwelt.de) Admission from 6 years, recommended from 8 years, adult accompaniment generally recommended.
