Dorothy (voiced by

Judy Garland played the same role in the 1939 film) decides to return to the land of Oz to pay a visit to her good friend
The Scarecrow (voice of
Mickey Rooney). However, shortly after her arrival
Dorothy discovers all is not well in the land of magic; the evil witch
Mombi (voice of
Ethel Merman) has arrived to pick up where the Wicked Witch of the West left off, and is using her sinister powers to rob
Scarecrow of her powers.
Dorothy realizes it's up to her to save Oz from
Mombi's machinations, and she teams up with

Pumpkinhead (voice of
Paul Lynde) to see justice done. Produced in 1964 but not released until 1971,
Journey Back To Oz also features the voice talents of
