Talk:The Marvelous Land of Oz

Dorothy

This is NOT, as the article wrongly said, the only canonical oz book in which Dorothy does not appear. There are several such. For instance, Dorothy does not appear in CAPTAIN SALT IN OZ. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.237.243.185 (talk) 01:30, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Huh, you're right. Still, are there "several"? What else besides this and Captain Salt?—Chowbok ☠ 04:18, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

I understand that this is an old thread, but, easily half of the canonical Oz books do not involve Dorothy. Possibly more; it's been awhile since I've read the series. -Verdatum (talk) 15:40, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Dorothy is completely absent from Silver Princess, certainly (both Captain Salt and Silver Princess feature only Ruth Plumly Thompson's own characters). There are many other books in the series in which Dorothy makes only cameo appearances (including Tik-Tok, Scarecrow, Rinkitink and Tin Woodman among Baum's own books).

Movie.

I will update this if I can ever find concrete proof, but I have seen trailers for a live action movie of this that appears to be from the 60s or 70s, probably low budget. I explicitly remember a young male protagonist, Mombi, & Ozma being in it. It was often a trailer at the beginning of many VHSs for children in the late 80s/early 90s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8:B580:811:B4CD:8BF2:16F5:7960 (talk) 19:19, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

I believe you are referring to The Wonderful Land of Oz (1969). -Verdatum (talk) 15:43, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Book title

I've got a copy with the same cover illustration, but the title is "The Land of Oz", with subtitle "A Sequel to The Wizard of Oz". Publication date is given as July 1904, with no mention of previous editions. I think the book must have been published under both titles, at least in 1904. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.85.76.4 (talk) 19:05, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

No, I think the explanation is that later editions didn't necessarily include their printing dates, but simply retained the original July 1904 copyright notice. Gildir (talk) 11:54, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Emerald City

After reading the article about the story revolving around Tip, there are many elements of that in the (2016??) TV series "Emerald City" ... so I figured it should probably be added to the list of works based on it. 220.235.229.209 (talk) 02:34, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
