A stop motion animated adaptation of L. Frank Baum's iconic story and remake of the legendary 1939 film produced by Laika studios in collaboration with Guillermo del Toro. A young farm girl is swept away by a devastating tornado from her Kansas home and lands in a vibrant, magical realm. Desperate to return to her family, she embarks on a perilous journey down a golden road toward the mysterious Wizard of Oz, who promises to grant her wish. Along the way, she befriends three unlikely companions: a scarecrow seeking a brain, a tin man yearning for a heart, and a cowardly lion desperate for courage. Together, they navigate enchanted forests, encounter the terrifying Wicked Witch of the West, and discover that the greatest magic lies within themselves. This stop-motion reimagining brings Baum's timeless tale to life with stunning artistry and emotional depth, exploring themes of self-discovery, friendship, and the power of believing in oneself.
