Thank you both for coming.

Emerald City needs all the heart

and courage it can get right now.

Got your back, straw man.

You can count on us.

Oh? You can count now, can you?

Oh, boy. Sounds like somebody

needs an oil change.

What'd you do?

Forget to prime your pump?

Oh, very brave. I think that

crown has gone to your head.

- Can it, rust bucket!

- Oh, how dare you!

I'll show you how! Come on,

funnel-head! Let's go!

Clank, clank, clank!

Anybody in here?

Oh, yeah. That just happened.

Break it up, you two knuckleheads.

We're in a grave situation here!

- Ah, sorry.

- Yeah.

- I-I guess we're all a little on edge, huh?

- Copy that.

But with all of Oz at risk,

I need you two to stand guard...

while I try to contact Dorothy.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

"Contact Dorothy"? How?

I'm a genius, remember?

But she's probably forgotten

all about us by now.

Whoa, yeah. It's been a long time.

For us my friends, yes. But time in Oz

passes differently than in her world.

It's been years since she

destroyed the Wicked Witches,

but to her it's going to

seem like only yesterday.

Well, let's hope she got

a good night's sleep.

Now, you two keep an eye

on that broomstick while I...

- Oh, too late!

- Secure the chamber!

We've got to

get through to Dorothy.

Dorothy. Scarecrow to Dorothy.

Come in, Dorothy. Come in, Dorothy.

Dorothy!

Toto.

We're home.

Em, over here. Look at this.

That twister took out

everything in its path.

Knocked the house

right off its foundation.

- Do you think we can fix it?

- I don't know.

That's an awful lot of damage.

Uncle Henry!

Auntie Em?

Dorothy?

- Oh.

- Dorothy.

It's not fair!

Oh, I know, sweetie.

It's not fair. But

it's just a house.

If we have to find another

one, we'll find another one.

- No. We can't just leave.

- Dorothy,

we gotta face facts.

Look at the barn.

Look at the house.

We'll have to have it all appraised,

but we shouldn't get our hopes up.

Move back. Move back.

We need to create a halo of

safety around this disaster area.

Thank you.

Excuse me. This is our home.

Your home.

A home is where you live.

This is a disaster area.

Oh. Can this not be adjusted?

Then do it. Thanks so much.

- And who are you?

- I'm the Appraiser.

Are you with the government?

I didn't see a badge.

Don't be rude, Dorothy.

Oh, outspoken.

We're... government adjacent.

Hmm. Broken support beams,

cracked concr...

Are you writing this down?

Thank you.

Cracked concrete footing.

- Ah!

- Hey!

- What do you think you're doing?

- That thing was about to fall.

I probably just saved your life.

But I don't need any recognition.

Just doing my job.

Now, I've made

a thorough assessment,

and I'm afraid you'll

have to vacate immediately.

- What?

- Read this.

There's no reason to kick

us out. We can fix it.

- Dorothy, hold on.

- I'll fix it myself if I have to.

So sorry, but according

to the state of Kansas,

the fate of this property

is decided by me,

not some little girl.

Flea-bitten, dirty,

possibly rabid...

You, do something useful.

You've got until...

sunset to vacate the premises.

Meet me at the shelter in town to sign the

paperwork, or we'll be back to throw you out!

- Oh, oh...

- Good seeing ya.

Well, that's that.

- Better start packing.

- What? No!

You heard what the man said.

If he says the house is unsafe,

I won't have you in it.

Who is he to decide that?

It's totally... it's-it's fixable.

These are

grown-up decisions, Dorothy.

Sorry, but you're gonna

have to leave this to us.

Well, I'm not leaving.

This is our home.

Dorothy!

Let's give her a little time, Em.

She's been through a lot.

Anybody home?

Look, Toto, we can fix this.

Shh. You'll scare them.

Hmm.

When the world

turns upside down

Nothing is for sure

All the dreams you

thought were real

You can't find anymore

And then there's

how the pieces fly

Most of all the ones inside

If only I knew

How to fix it all I would

If only one heart

All alone did any good

But I feel so small

What can I do at all

When the world

has turned upside down?

Oh

Nobody knows where the

world's gonna fly

But I still gotta give it a try

If the world turns upside down

On just a gust of wind

Guess I should get ready now

For when it comes again

Come on, sweetie.

What do I hold?

Where will I go?

And will I feel this all alone?

If only I knew

How to fix it all I would

If only one heart

All alone did any good

But I'm just so small

What can I do at all

Now that the world

has turned upside down?

Turned upside down

Oh. Oh, how pretty.

Huh.

It must be some kind

of optical illusion.

That's no illusion, Toto.

Run!

Help, Toto!

Help!

Dorothy!

- Hi, kiddo!

- Scarecrow?

What is this? What's happening?

We're flying you back to Oz in a

rainbow mover. I invented it.

- Show-off.

- Cowardly Lion?

It's just Lion now.

- See?

- Oh, my.

- Dorothy.

Hi, Tin Man.

I am so overjoyed to see you.

You guys, dragging me into a

giant rainbow really scared me.

I can only imagine

how you must feel.

Trapped alone in a giant rainbow.

Surrounded by colors.

It must be just horrible! Oh!

Ever since he got his heart,

he's been all over the place.

I never had emotions before.

I just want to try them all out.

Dorothy, we don't have much time.

There's trouble in Oz, and only

you... threatening the land...

and you are the only one

who can stop...

What's that noise?

Hold that door!

- What's going on?

- Hang on, Dorothy.

- We'll explain everything when you get here.

- Where?

Emerald City!

I-In the Wizard's chamber.

I smell flyin' monkeys!

- Oh, no.

- Monkeys!

Dorothy. Scarecrow to Dorothy.

Come in, Dorothy.

- The door...

- Scarecrow to Dorothy.

Is starting to give!

I've lost contact with Dorothy.

I can't get her back!

I can't hold it!

Time's up!

Aaah!

Hurry!

Come on!

Oof!

I can't believe it, Toto.

We're really back in Oz.

Wait. Scarecrow?

Scarecrow!

Oh, great.

Come on, Toto. We've got

to get to Emerald City.

It sounds like the guys

are in trouble.

If only Glinda were here.

She'd know what to do.

Now, now. Oops.

No, don't push.

I'm coming right along.

Please, if...

If you would just

give me my wand back.

Oh, now, you don't want to do that.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Magic in the wrong hands can

be a very dangerous thing.

Oh, Glinda.

Sweet Glinda.

Ah, the Jester.

I am so thrilled to have

you as my guest.

I'm captivated.

Isn't it wonderful...

when two great powers

as you and I...

meet face-to-face,

Peer-to-peer, toe-to-toe?

My, but you're... silly.

"Silly"? By "silly,"

surely you mean diabolical.

No?

You're laughing.

It's the costume, isn't it?

I know, I know.

Hard to take me seriously.

It's my curse. Literally.

I can't take this off... ever.

My wicked sister did this to me with

one of her funny little spells.

I knew your sister all too well.

I never knew she had

a sense of humor.

It's not funny to me!

But now I'm ready to embrace a
