JOURNEY TO OZ after Liman Frank Baum
Part one SILVER SHOES
Where is it?
So this is not what I want. And that is not what I am looking for.
Where can it be? Where is my favorite glass thing?
Oh, here it is! Drop dead!
Tell me what you see? What will happen to me in the future?
Who are my enemies?
The girl named Dolly lives in Kansas.
You are going to be killed by her house.
What do I have to do? Tell me what to do!
Oh, all the time I have to do everything by myself!
For example, an earthquake, a flood...
Oh, a hurricane!
This is what I need to put into the pot, right now...
You are a clever puppy! I wish you could talk!
So a little bit more of that substance. This ought to be put there too.
So, ha-ha.
Wetraburla!
Dolly!
Toto, let's run!
Dolly, rush to the basement quickly! The hurricane is coming!
- And where is Uncle Henry? - He's driving the cattle in, hurry up!
Toto!
What are you doing?
Dolly!
Toto!
Wetrabasko markabra! Drambago tyrgumba!
Don't be afraid, my little one. I'm here with you!
Bazguraddo durrida!
I have done a lot of harm to these people!
It makes me so happy!
Oh!
Ouch!!!
Toto, my dear.
Aunt Em, I have seen such a dream...
Welcome to the Country of Munchers.
Thank you, noble fairy, that you have killed the Wicked Witch of the East.
You have set free all our people!
How funny they are!
He has started speaking!
You, noble fairy, shouldn't be surprised. Everybody speaks in our country!
There must be a mistake.
I'm not a fairy at all and I bet I've never killed anybody in my entire life!
You've lost your bet.
You have killed the Wicked Witch of the East by your house! Here, have a look!
She has been dissolved by the sunlight. Only her silver shoes are left.
Now they belong to you. You ought to know that they possess a magic power.
No one in this country knows what this power is.
Even I, the kind Fairy of the North, know nothing!
Oh, how beautiful they are! I thought there were no miracles in this world.
My Aunt Em says that all the witches have died!
Mammoths died but not witches.
- What is, she Aunt Em? Is she a fairy too? - No, she is not a fairy!
She is kind and works on the farm. I love her so much!
She and Uncle Henry live in Kansas. I'm also from there.
Kansas. I've never heard about it.
Is it a civilized country?
You bet! I don't know exactly what a civilize country means...
...but I suspect it is very civilized! In Kansas, we have...
There are no miracles.
But we here can easily live without civilization.
That is why there are still fairies, wizards...
...and witches among us!
Wicked witches set tempests!
- They scare us at night! - They make loving heart part!
And what do kind wizards do?
We perform some miracles. We set some miracles for good people.
Help the poor, Ionely...
...correct mistakes.
Please, help me and Toto.
We must return home. The Aunt and the Uncle are worried about us!
I'm afraid, dear, you will have to stay here.
Our country is surrounded by a horrible desert.
Nobody has ever managed to cross it!
- Let the girl go to the Emerald City! - What city?
- The Emerald. - And what is there in the Emerald City?
The most powerful Wizard of our country lives there.
- Is he a good man? - He is a great magician!
How can I reach him?
The road paved with yellow bricks leads there. Look!
- Oh, great! How beautiful. - Don't think it is too easy!
You can run into a lot of danger!
- This is a very dangerous place! - Alright! We'll watch out!
Yes, and take a map.
I will!
Thanks!
Bye, my dear!
Till long!
Don't lose your shoes!
Toto, keep up with me!
Hallo!
- Oh, you gave me such a fright! - But I'm a scarecrow.
Brainless scarecrow!
A complete fool!
He touches his empty pate with his hand, ha-ha...
A sack with a hole...
What are you doing there?
I don't know myself. I have a high position, but no respect, only mockery!
Can you go down?
- I can do it easily if you help me! - Let's try!
Let me introduce myself!
Scarecrow!
Who made you?
The owner of this field stuffed me with straw, painted me eyes...
...nose...
...mouth.
You're very handsome!
Thanks! I knew that someday somebody would pay me my due!
In my home city women paint their eyes themselves.
Do they also scare crows?
No, they don't. How silly you are!
Silly!
Right! That's about me!
Yeah, I wish I had my own brains so I could show these crows who is the man.
- Let me see you off. - Yeah, certainly. There are more fun.
Who are you? Where are you from, lovely girl?
- My name is Dolly and I am from Kansas. - From Kansas?
And do you have any crows and scarecrows there?
Of course! They just don't speak.
What can you do?
Hmm... I can read...
...bake a pie and ride a horse. Uncle Henry and Aunt Em have taught me these things.
I can only count the crows.
I guess that when my master...
...was making me from the straw, he forgot about putting in some brains.
By the way, where does this yellow brick road go to?
To the Emerald City! We're going to the Great Wizard to ask him for help.
What help?
- We need to go back to Kansas! - And can I go with you?
I could ask him for some brains... Shoo!
So that I could think about...
Ouch!
Aren't you afraid to stain your costume?
I'm not!
More than anything else I'm afraid of matches and fire.
To spend a night near a fire, ouch!
By the way, about spending the night. Let's ask permission to stay at that hut.
That's a bright idea.
Who is living there?
Owners... owners!
What a miracle! Wrenches, tin, tubes! Maybe the wood plumbers live here.
Help me!
Scarecrow! Someone is in trouble!
Help me!
I am all rusted!
Dolly, there is an oiler with lube in the house!
One day I was a normal guy. I earned my living by cutting wood.
I wanted to save some money and marry a pretty girl.
The Wicked Witch couldn't stand our happiness and decided to fail our marriage.
She put a spell on my axe. And the axe cut off my left leg.
The village blacksmith has forged me my left leg.
But it wasn't enough for the Wicked Witch - and the axe cut my other Leg.
Barely I made my way to the blacksmith. He made the other leg iron.
- And then the axe cut me in two parts! - Ouch!
The blacksmith ironed the rest, but he could not make me the heart!
You hear this? It's empty there!
Poor, poor Woodman!
We are going to the Wizard of the Emerald City. Come with us.
You can ask a Wizard for a heart!
Don't argue with me! I will ask him for brains, not the heart.
But if a fool... oops...
...even gets the heart he won't know what to do with it.
I will know what to do.
Brains don't make a human being happy, brains only cause misfortune.
I don't think so!
Stop arguing! You'd better look around.
I don't like this place.
Toto, stay close to me.
Toto, where are you going!?
What? What are you doing?
Are you not ashamed? Your paw is of Toto's size!
And you, a big strong beast, attacked a little dog. What a shame!
And remember!
I won't let anybody in the world hurt my Toto!
Strong words!
I wasn't going to hurt him. He started first!
You are a huge scruffy coward, that's all.
It would be more correctly to say: Cowardly Lion.
I always knew that I didn't have enough bravery.
My grandfather was so brave! And, I guess, I was born a coward.
When I raw everybody runs from me, but if somebody runs after me - I'm scared stiff.
You are so huge!
You are a lucky guy! You've got a heart!
And what about brains?
I adore brain bones! And, honestly, I love some good meal.
M-m... That means that your brains are in your stomach.
Let's go to the Emerald City with us, we want...
I know! I've been following you for a long time and have heard all your talks.
I would like to ask a Wizard for bravery.
I'll be as brave as my grandpa!
We won't be able to deal with a brave Lion!
What for do you need to deal with me? Brave Lions don't hurt the weak.
They protect them!
There is no choice. We'll have to jump! Woodman, help me!
- Jump! - Hold on!
Wow!
There is someone else walking there.
These are bloodthirsty Zubarthes.
What do they look like?
Now you'll see what they look like. You have been told they are bloodthirsty!
Is it true, Lion, that Zubarth can tear a lion to pieces?
It's horrific truth.
Here they are.
Guys let's run away.
What should we do?
Woodman, cut the tree!
Don's shake like this!
I'm not shaking, it's the ground shaking.
Woodman, take Dolly and run to the opposite side.
Run, Dolly!
Lion!
Faster!
I hope I won't stumble!
I knew it would happen!
Scarecrow, hold on!
Woodman, cut the tree! Lion, run towards us faster!
They have flown away, our butterflies!
I guess, they will never try to attack us again!
- Have you been frightened, Toto? - Yeah.
I've been frightened too.
But for you I'd have torn their throats!
All of you have behaved bravely!
I didn't even think the yellow road was so dangerous!
And what is waiting for us in the future?
Oh... How many poppies! A whole sea!
Woodman, do you like it?
I can only be impressed, by a sea of machine oil.
I don't like this field either! I feel that something is wrong!
Look what happened to our lion!
And what happened to Toto?
Toto, my dearest...
...what's wrong with you?
Poor things! Probably, they have been doped by the poppies!
If we let them sleep a little bit more, they would never wake up!
What happened here?! I've seen strange dreams.
And where is our Lion?
He is over there, and it's impossible to wake him up.
Look, we should pull the Lion out of here at once!
Oh, dear me, he is so heavy. What should I do?
- I'll scratch your eyes out, let me go. - Only try.
Are you also made from iron?
Don't be afraid, it was a joke. You'd better let me go, my kittens are hungry.
- How many kittens? - Five. Nine hungry kittens!
Twelve kittens! They are as hungry as nobody else!
Poor guys. Run. Feed them!
I haven't got any kittens, you fool! I'm a male cat!
Thanks.
Woodman! We, the queen of white, black, gray and other mice, are grateful to you!
Woodman, ask what ever you want!
You majesty, the only thing I need is your help.
Our friend Lion has fallen asleep in the poppy field!
The Lion, that big cat as large as a mountain? She will eat me and my people!
No. He is kind!
O.K. Tell me what should be done, we'll help you.
What should you do? I don't know.
At first tell each mouse to bring one thread!
Woodman, cut something round, so that it could roll along the ground...
...like something I don't know what! - Like a wheel!
You've invented a wheel!
I've invented not one wheel, but all four!
Yo-ho! Yo-heave-ho!
He is breathing!
Mice!
I've always been afraid of mice. I've always avoided meeting you!
And now I'll love you.
I will respect you and I will be happy to shake your brave paws.
Good-bye!
Good-bye! Good-bye!
Good-bye!
I'm stuck again!
And where is the Scarecrow?
I'm being turned into a scarecrow again. Or rather, a scarefish.
It's a very unusual deed. A bird is saving a scarecrow!
We are flying! Awesome!
Thanks! Thanks!
Thanks, bird.
I'm always glad to help! Are you visiting us on business?
Visiting you? We are going to the Emerald City.
We'll just find the yellow road and go farther.
I think you've already come.
Somewhere far away
there is a wonderful land,
Magic Land,
with rainbows, roads,
with Sun and Moon alive.
This is a world
of adventures and wonders.
There is a magic forest there.
It attracts me, draws me somewhere.
But my home place is dearer,
My native sky,
evening, my friends
and this fairy-tale of mine.

JOURNEY TO OZ after Liman Frank Baum
Part Two THE GREAT WIZARD'S SECRET
Hey, hello! Here we are!
Who are you and what do you want?
My name is Dolly, and these are my friends.
We are going to the Great Wizard to ask him to fulfil our wishes.
- They say he is a kind man. - He is kind, wise, and even great.
- If he is kind, he is sure to help us. - Then this way, please.
All the citizens and guests of the Emerald City have to wear green eye-glasses.
What if we take them off?
Instantaneous eternal blindness!
Wow!
- Can everything be really emerald? - Of course it can!
Oh!
Follow me!
Keep silent! Don't touch anything with your hands and paws!
Enter the Throne Room one by one.
Just a moment!
I respect the magicians and different miracles. Snap - and Dolly is at home!
Another snap - and I'm with brains! One more snap - and the Woodman gets his heart.
The girl comes first.
I'm a great magician! Who are you? Why do you want to meet me?
I am Dolly, I have come for help.
And where did you get these shoes?
From the malicious Witch of the East. My house fell down on her and killed her!
Wow! Are you a fairy?
No, I am just a girl!
Any fairy can pretend to be just a girl. And so what do you want from me?
Please, send me home, Great Wizard.
Don't expect I'll send you home just like that.
Help me and I help you!
- What should I do? - Exterminate the malicious Western Witch!
- Me? - Do you want to return home?
The next one!
- Is this a wizard? - Kill the Wicked Witch of the West.
And I'll give you as many brains as you can carry!
Oh, you the beautiful creature!
How can I, the Scarecrow stuffed with straw manage to...
I don't care! When you fulfil the task, come for the brains!
The next one!
Kill the Wicked Witch of the West and then you'll tell me what you want!
The next one!
Come near here. Nearer!
Are you afraid to lose your moustache?
No... Y-yes.
Scared? As long as the Witch of the West is alive you'll be a coward!
We are not starting a fight with the Witch so late at night, are we?!
'"The inn'"
It's so sad. We'll conquer the Witch and part forever.
What if she conquers us? Then we won't part!
Why go anywhere at all? Dolly, stay in our Land. It's the Fairyland!
Dolly, stay with us.
It is the Fairyland, but it seems to me there's no land like home. Right, Toto?
Uh? Ah? Right you are!
Good-bye!
Hup, two! Hup, two! Hup, two!
Why don't you ask where the Wicked Witch of the West lives?
We guess she lives in the west, only we don't know how far it is.
Let's see where it is.
I guess it's somewhere here.
And what a strange team! Hmm...
These intruders are forbidden...
...so I think they will be eaten.
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
You are my tender ones. It's time for breakfast!
Run to the field, tear the guests to pieces!
Look, wolves!
Lion, you should help the Tin Woodman!
It's a bit too late. The Woodman has managed himself!
Hurray! Victory!
- Well done, Woodman! - Next time I'll tear your ears off!
We'll see, we'll see!
Fly out, my gentle ones! My sweet ones!
Peck the guests to death, peck their eyes out!
Scarecrow!
These little birds are your province, you are the one to scare the crows!
I used to be good at it!
Chuck-chuck-chuck-chuck!
Box! Box! Knock-out!
Don't follow their example, kids!
- Forty sharp! It's a nice job! - Hmm!
Where is my Golden Cap?
I didn't want to do it, but obviously I'll have to.
Karakita-rakuta! Trum-barabum!
Trum-baraben! Strandagalada!
Appear in front of me, you Winged Monkeys!
- It's the last time you call us! - I know!
Kill everybody except the Lion!
Except the Lion!
I'll harness him to my carriage!
Box!
Box! Box!
Wow! Look!
I see!
We can't touch the one who wears the Silver Shoes!
I know!
You sure want to take me for a ride.
- I'll tear you up. - I won't give you meat! Ha-ha-ha!
Can you wash the dishes?
- Yes, I can! - Mind you ask for it yourself! Ha-ha-ha!
One.
Two.
Hush!
Well, are you hungry?
Uh-huh!
At least we aren't cold, and what about the Woodman and the Scarecrow?
The Shoes will be mine!
They will help me to get rid of the damned Wizard of the Emerald City.
And I will become great and emerald myself!
You know, Toto, your mistress is the neatest girl in the world.
We got to love her.
If we were not afraid of the Witch we could reveal her the secret.
What secret?
Do you know why the Witch never comes to the kitchen when Dolly washes up there?
No.
- She's scared to death of water. - Why didn't you tell it before?
The Witch! We are terribly afraid of her.
Trum-barabum! Trum-bara... ben!
Sweet girl! Come here!
Dolly!
Come here right away, you wicked girl!
Dolly!
I'll reveal the witch's secret!
Give me the other shoe immediately! Give it to me or I'll take it myself!
No, I won't.
Well!
Help! You've destroyed me!
I didn't want it!
I'm melting in the water.
Melti-i-ing...
Dolly!
There's only a puddle left. What was the Wizard afraid of?
Let's go, Toto!
Have a look, Dolly.
Say the magic words and the Winged Monkeys will obey your any order.
Karakita-rakuta. Trum-barabum.
Tram baraben. Strandagalada!
Happy to serve the Mistress of the Golden Cap. What do you command?
- Bring my friends here. - It'll be done.
Sorry, but now you can call us only two times.
What shall we do?
Shall we help?
Uh-huh.
O-oh! Hello!
- Look! I feel a new man! - You're even better!
It's time for us to return to the Wizard and demand to fulfil what he promised.
Dolly, call the Winged Monkeys.
I can see the target!
I've never flown by monkeys.
Dear Mistress of the Golden Cap, you have the power...
...to call us just one more time, and then... good-bye, Dolly!
Great Wizard! Where are you?
I'm everywhere. Have you fulfiled my order?
The Wicked Witch of the West exists no longer! Now it's your turn!
- I'll think it over! Over! Over!
Dolly, it's not fair of the Wizard to say so!
Oh, how mad I am!
Eh, no entrance here!
Who are you?
- Why are you hiding behind the screen? - And where is the Great Wizard?
- I am the Great Wizard! - I thought the Wizard was a Big Head.
I thought he was a Beauty!
You pretended to be the Beast on the throne!
- Tried to scare us by a Ball of Fire! - I'll do whatever the Young Fairy wants.
I'm not a Fairy. And who are you, may I ask you to explain?
There's nothing to explain. Tricks can't be explained.
Tricks? So you are not a Wizard, but a humbug?
You, my dear guests, were in such a desperate situation...
...that I decided to entertain you. I made a performance for you.
Well, it wasn't too bad?
He's a mean man. It's him who has no heart.
So I'm not going to get my brains!
So many hardships, walking across the broken ground - and here we are!
Was the Ball of Fire also a trick? I'll swallow you right now!
Calm down. Tricks are not swindling, but a great art!
So you can't help me and Toto get back home?
Why not? Haven't I built the Emerald City?
Am I not called the Great and Wonderful?
- Where did you get so much green marble? - Yes, and so many emeralds?
Be patient, my friends.
In my city there are as many emeralds as in any other.
The secret is the green eye-glasses!
How crafty he is!
I was born in Kansas.
If you put a finger in one's mouth there your whole arm will be swallowed!
I can't believe it.
Then you are from Kansas!
Of course I am!
I worked in the circus as a master of ventriloquism, tested balloons.
One terrible day my balloon was brought to this land.
There aren't only good fairies around, there are many witches.
And I called myself the Greatest Wizard!
What brains you should have to think of this!
By the way, what about the brains for me?
Why do you want them? Knowledge comes with experience.
Live longer and you'll learn more.
You may be right, but with brains I'll feel more confident.
Now all of you will feel more confident.
Because you'll get what you've been dreaming about.
And Kansas too?
It's difficult, but we'll do it! I agree to accompany you to Kansas personally!
Hur-r-ray!
Well, my dear.
Now I'll give you the best brains in the world.
Be seated.
Too large... Too small... Now!
That's all right!
Well...
Enough! Well... well...
Well.
Oops!
Sharp mind is never extra.
Look what heart I prepared for your friend.
Tender, sympathetic, pure silk!
Not worse than my brains.
Next!
Here, good.
Well...
And?
Are you scared?
Just worrying.
That's it!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I wonder if courage is sewn in or inserted?
Next!
Is this for me?
Won't it be too little?
This is for me so far.
You bring that vase here. Be careful not to break it!
- Here is the Lion's share! - Don't be afraid!
Drink it off!
- What do you feel? - I am all full of courage!
And how about Kansas?
Eh?
Dolly, let's go!
Wow...
...what a huge balloon.
Is it strong?
It's strong enough to carry us!
How many years I've been dreaming to return home. Thank you, Dolly!
You haven't flown away before because of the Monkeys?
Yes. And because nobody was waiting for me at home.
My dear subjects!
I, the Great Wizard, am flying to the sky!
You will be ruled by the Scarecrow - the wisest Ruler in the world!
- Good-bye, Dolly! - Don't be sad, Woodman!
Good-bye, Toto!
Dolly, hurry up to the basket!
Hand, give me your hand!
Forgive me, Dolly!
Hey, we should have called the Winged Monkeys!
Unfortunately, the Monkeys won't help you. Their power works only in the Magic Land.
Your Wisest Honour, let me tell you something.
Got it.
Dolly, there is the kindest Fairy of the South living in the Pink Land.
They say she's the prettiest, too. She is sure to help us.
I'm ready. Where is it?
We're coming with you. We won't let you go alone. Scarecrow, are you with us?
You see, I'm in charge of the whole city.
Look how power spoils people, even if they've got brains!
Oh, I'm just kidding. But the Winged Monkeys will definitely be of use!
They'll help us to get to the Fairy of the South faster.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
We'll take you to the Pink Land...
...but that will be your last order, and then, please, return the Cap to us.
There is an easy way to send you home, dear Dolly.
But how will you do it, miss? Maybe you also have a balloon?
I don't have a balloon, but you have Magic Silver Shoes.
Strike your heels together and the Shoes will carry you to any place that you name.
So I could have returned home the very day my house fell on the Wicked Witch?
Yes, dear, of course!
But then I would've stayed in the sunflower field and would've never got such brains!
And I would have stayed rusty in the wet forest...
...and wouldn't have such a loving heart?
And I would've remained a coward and would not become the real King of the Beasts.
That is all true!
I don't regret that I've been living in the Land of Oz for so long!
We are sorry to say good-bye to you, Dolly.
Because you taught us the most important thing - true friendship!
Good-bye, my dear friends.
I hope to see you again.
Dolly, we'll wait for you!
Farewell, Dolly! Good-bye!
Well, here we are at home!
Dolly!

JOURNEY TO OZ after Liman Frank Baum
Part Three INTRIGUES OF OLD MOMBI
- What is it? - Oh, it's Glinda!
- What did I tell you to watch? - News.
And you?
I can't trust you.
You've got a bug crawling across the book.
The new Ruler of the Emerald City Scarecrow the Wise has abolished the law...
...obliging people to wear special glasses.
Well done, Scarecrow.
The Winkies have elected the Tin Woodman their Emperor.
No news about the missing daughter of the last Ruler of the Land of Oz Princess Ozma.
Notorious Jinjur has declared herself a general.
What a stupid girl!
Old Mombi is about to visit the Crooked Wizard, Dr. Pipp.
She took up sorcery again.
She can be trouble.
Top! Top!
Where is this worthless boy?
I'll teach you not to shirk!
I'll spit on these peas once and the work will be done.
And I'll spit on them twice.
You'll be sorry if you don't sort the pile out when I come back.
You'll spit twice and I'll spit thrice.
I'll punish you. Your parents would never recognize you...
...if they were alive.
Poor orphan.
'"Dr. Pipp, inventor'"
'"Crooked Wizard'"
Practicing sorcery?
- You fri-fri-fri... - What '"fry-fry'"?
You frightened me! Remember, I'm an inventor.
Why not tell Glinda about your inventions and customers?
What d-do you w-want?
- I want some septemfoliate clover. - Here it is. And now leave.
- And... - What else?
- The magical Powder of Life. - I w-won't give you any!
And don't threaten me to tell Glinda. I can also tell her about your gi-gi...
What girl? I've got a boy to care for, to bring up.
Come on, we know who he really is. Go away.
I'm leaving. Go on with your work, crooked inventor!
Look! I think he wants to scare us away!
It's so funny! Top is making a scarecrow!
Why should I? I'll scare Auntie Mombi.
She's giving me a hard time.
- She deserves it! - Auntie Mombi won't like it at all.
Curbanda-turbanda
Good evening, sir.
Oh!
The little scoundrel is playing tricks on me again. This will be his last one.
It's a great chance to try the powder.
Wow! Know! How!
I think I'm alive! It's a miracle!
I did it! Turbanda-curbanda.
Come here! I'll break your habit of making fun of me!
I was laughing at Jack and not at you, Auntie.
- What Jack? - This one.
I called him Jack Pumpkinhead.
It was you who made him! You gave yourself away!
And what about me? What shall I do?
Go to the back yard. I'll finish with you tomorrow. But I'll get even with you today.
Turbanda-curbanda, shury-mury.
Is it our supper, Auntie?
Your last one. You won't have to eat anymore.
Why?
Because after you eat it you'll turn into an obedient doll.
You'll do everything I'll tell you.
- Are you joking? - No more jokes, my dear!
Just like Dr. Pipp prescribed. Now the Emerald City will be mine!
Where are you going?
You won't get away from me now.
- It's going to rain. - Is it you, Jack?
Yes! It's so nice to be alive.
- It depends. You'd better open the door. - I'd be pleased to.
You've made me, right? Then I should obey my father, right?
Right you are. Come on.
What do you think, daddy?
Is the Moon a pumpkin in the sky? Or is a pumpkin the Earth's Moon?
I think, you'd better double up your speed.
Yes.
What is it?
I can't double up or take away. I'm illiterate, daddy.
- It means that you should hurry up. - Where are we going?
We'll ask Scarecrow to give us refuge in the Emerald City.
- Who is this Scarecrow? - He rules the Emerald City.
- He used to be a real scarecrow. - Is he my relative then?
- Yes, he's your brother. - What a famous brother I've got!
Stop!
It's all right. You won't get away from me!
Turbanda-curbanda.
If you're my daddy, Mombi is my mom.
And I left home without her permission. It's not right. She gave me life.
What? I spent half a day making you. And she just waved her hands.
'"Wow! Know! How! '"
Let me go! You boor!
Wow!
'"The Powder of Life'".
A nice thing to salt a cucumber.
- Who is it? - It's a trestle.
- I'm a Saw-Horse! - Just the thing we couldn't do without.
Sometimes you could be very smart, Jack.
We really can't do without it.
Now I got you! I can smell them.
Freedom!
Hey, trestle, slow down.
I'm telling you again. I'm no trestle, but a Saw-Horse.
I'm afraid he got too much powder.
And I'm afraid to lose my head.
Pull up! Stop!
Where is my daddy? I think we've lost him.
He'll catch up with us later. I've lost my tale, but I'm not complaining.
I'm the Guardian of the Gates. Who are you and what do you want in the Emerald City?
- My name is Jack. But I'm not alone. - Right.
I lost my daddy and I want to meet my brother.
- And who is your brother? - He's Scarecrow, the Ruler of your Land.
Come in!
Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!
Friends!
Girls from the Land of Oz have come here to rebel against men.
We'll conquer the Emerald City and grab lots of gems.
Men will work and we'll be in command!
Are you really going to conquer the Emerald City?
Of course.
- Who are you? - My name is Top.
- You're not a spy, aren't you? - Are you nuts?
I'm...
I'm Commander-in-chief General Jinjur.
We'll take you prisoner.
Sally! Molly! Keep an eye on him!
Across the hills and valleys
Our glorious regiment is marching.
- Let everyone know, - Let everyone know,
That we're no weaker sex.
That we're no weaker sex!
Cheer up and march on!
The enemies will waver!
Our knitting needles are sharp!
Our skirts are up to our knees!
- Some day... - Some day...
We'll take the Scarecrow prisoner!
Cheer up and march on!
The enemies will waver!
- You are so handsome! - So are you.
I like you. Shall we play rings?
It stinks of perfume here. Did he get it? No, he couldn't.
Surrender!
Hands up!
He thinks he's a Guardian!
Girls, follow me!
Militant girls under Jinjur's command have captured the Emerald City.
It's a bad sign.
Give it to me!
It's mine!
Halt! Who are you? Why aren't you wearing your uniform?
It's him!
Get him!
Your Majesty, we're in trouble.
Militant girls have captured the Emerald City! We have to lock up the doors!
I've got an idea!
We'll seize their leader and liberate the City.
Jack, hide behind the curtains.
If our prisoner sees your stupid smile, she'll think that we're joking.
Well, my dearest, do you know me?
I'm Scarecrow the Great and Terrible!
If you don't command your girls to leave the Emerald City, I'll order...
Your Majesty, I'm not a girl. I'm a boy.
She wants to deceive me. I can tell a girl from a boy.
Wait! I'll prove it to you! I'm not a girl! Look!
My dearest daddy!
Meet my brother the Scarecrow.
Pleased to meet you.
It's a pity my brilliant plan went wrong.
I have to send them help.
This bug again. What a clever bug.
Wait. It's a great idea. Where is my magic magnifying glass?
Here it is!
- What a monster! - I'm not a monster. I'm a Tumbling Beetle.
Can you find the Emerald City?
Of course. I crawled all over your book. I know the geography of the Land of Oz...
...of America, Europe, Asia, Australia and the Antarctic.
I don't need the Antarctic.
But if you can manage to get to the Emerald City and give this to the Scarecrow...
...I will keep you magnified forever.
My legs are already running!
We're surrounded. I don't know what they want. I hope it's not me they are after.
You're wrong.
Jinjur is about to make a rag or a cushion out of you.
A cushion? We have to flee away. To the Tin Woodman.
Right. But how?
I've never seen such a miracle.
It's a living trestle, isn't it?!
- You are... - Behave yourself.
It's a palace and not a stable. Even though you're a horse...
It's a great idea. Tell me, mustang, are you fast?
Too fast.
Without a picklock or a key, open!
It will open. One, two, three!
Turbanda-curbanda!
- Do I look all right? - You look dazzling.
Your Dazzling Brilliance! A strange company came here. They want to see you.
They'll have to wait.
Yes, Your Brilliant Dazzle. But they want to see you now.
Especially the one that looks like a scarecrow.
The Scarecrow!
Meet my best friend.
Emperor of the Winkies, the Tin Woodman or Nick the Woodman.
Friends call me Nick.
Hello.
- You haven't lost your sense of humor. - Neither my brains. But I lost my crown.
Girls of the Land of Oz rebelled against me. I had to flee away.
What?
Did some girls drive my best friend and the wise ruler out?
We'll start the campaign and reinstall you.
Bring me the axe!
I can smell the boy, the pumpkin, the sawdust, the straw and some oil.
Oil? Pshaw!
- Are they going in a wagon? - It seems so.
Tin Woodman is going with them. He'll smash the gates with his axe and then...
- Can't we stop them? - It's not that easy.
Turbanda-curbanda, shirly-myrly, khasima!
- You'd better watch your step. Or else... - There was no pit here.
- Stop it. The Saw-Horse broke its leg. - Leave me here or saw me up.
- We don't desert friends. - What shall we do?
- We shall think! - Look! Someone is approaching us.
Excuse me, gentlemen, can you show me the way to the Emerald City?
Glinda asked me to give the Scarecrow her present.
No need to hurry then. I'm the Scarecrow.
Why did Glinda send you?
She gave me this Magical Wishing Pill. Here you are!
But it will fulfil one wish.
Let me try. I've got a tin stomach.
Wait! We haven't got a wish yet.
It's stupid to spend a pill on a horse leg.
Let's wish us to be carried in the Emerald City at once.
- Let's make the girls surrender. - Let's turn Mombi into a scarecrow.
She doesn't deserve it.
I wish Dolly were here. She would tell us what to do.
- Where am I? - It's Dolly!
- Of course! - Nick! Scarecrow!
Meet our new friends.
- It's Jack Pumpkinhead. It's Top. - Hi.
- And here is our Saw-Horse. - I'm so glad to see you all.
Where is our Brave Lion?
He went to the forest animals.
Hi, I'm a Tumbling Beetle, SM and WE...
...meaning Significantly Magnified and Well-Educated.
Dolly has just come and I already know how to fix the leg of our horse.
We'll give him one of Jack's legs and Jack will ride him.
Thanks, brother. You're so smart. Do what you want.
Where did this girl come from? All right.
Turbanda-curbanda.
I'll revenge on her for the deaths of my sisters.
We shall see who wins.
Somewhere far away
there is a wonderful land,
Magic Land,
with rainbows, roads,
with Sun and Moon alive.
This is a world
of adventures and wonders.
There is a magic forest there.
It attracts me, draws me somewhere.
But my home place is dearer,
my native sky,
evening, my friends
and this fairy-tale of mine.

JOURNEY TO OZ after Liman Frank Baum
Part Four PRINCESS OZMA
Top and Pumpkinhead Jack have run away from Wicked Witch Mombi.
I know it.
General Jinjur has captured the Emerald City.
- I know it, too. - Dolly has come to the Land of Oz again.
It has been the best news lately.
Now the team headed by the Tin Woodman is halfway from the Emerald City.
- Is the City far away? - Are you tired?
- As if he's going on foot! - My pumpkin got scorched.
It's all right. We'll be there in the evening.
It's strange. I've never seen this field here before.
- Oh, my head is spinning. - So is mine.
So what? My head is always spinning.
Look!
Twisting-twirling-whirling-swirling.
- It's Mombi. She found me. - Close your eyes and hold on to me.
Everything you see around or you don't see around is a mirage.
Such illusions often occur in deserts and semi-deserts...
...prairies and semi-prairies, steppes and semi-steppes... Any questions?
I've got one. Will you shut up?
Twirling-whirling
Turbanda-curbanda!
Will you go to the Emerald City with your eyes closed?
What did I tell you? It's a typical semi- steppe mirage. Don't pay attention to it.
And what about this?
Is it also a mirage?
Maybe. But this hypothesis needs to be verified.
I don't know what a hypothesis is, but I'm afraid I'll burn.
And what about me?
And you'll make a great pudding, my Pumpkinhead friend.
Daddy, we'd better run for our lives!
And what if it's really a mirage? I'll check.
No way! Reconnaissance is no girl's business.
I'll go!
He died.
My poor daddy.
Now I'm an orphan.
Are you cooking taffy?
You've ruined it!
Where are you? Come here!
Now it's verified.
The Witch made us lose our way. I've never seen this oak-tree here!
And you don't see it now. It's another one of Mombi's mirages.
Look!
This mirage is too hard.
- Are you all right, brother? - I think I've got a concussion.
- A concussion! - But I'm glad.
You can't get a concussion if you've got no brain.
I've got a great idea.
Can you see these holes? Field mice live here. It means we can...
We can call the Queen of Mice! She'll help us find the way out!
You're a genius, Scarecrow!
Good afternoon, Your Majesty!
Hello. Can I help my old friends?
Line up!
Dress!
Attention!
What is it? Stand to attention!
Arms along your seams!
I've got seams here and here...
- Recover! Three extra duties! - Three extra duties?
You're lucky! I also want extras!
We need to lay an ambush!
A general should know this stratagem.
That's it. Time to say good-bye.
- It's always so sad. - Yes.
- I say that it's always very sad. - I agree with you completely.
It's all right, Your Majesty. He has got a concussion.
A concussion's got nothing to do with it. Your mice have crawled inside me.
Mischievous mice, get out!
Your Majesty, I've got an idea. Can we take them?
Don't worry. Today they'll be back safe and sound.
It's so strange. Where are the girls?
It's too easy to be true.
Come on. The girls got a fright and ran away.
This room reminds me of something.
How dare you sit on my throne?
Whoever has taken the throne will sit on it!
But how shall I rule the country?
You won't. Whoever sits on the throne rules the country.
Why talk to her? Let's give her a sound thrashing.
Right.
Oh-oh.
Whoever sits on the throne rules the country.
Now I shall punish every one for your attempted rebellion.
The Tin Woodman...
I shall melt him down and make buttons.
We shall use your sharp wits to sew them on.
This disgusting insect...
I'm a Tumbling Beetle, Significantly Magnified and Well-Educated.
We shall diminish you and feed you to hens.
Who's next?
You're good. It's a pity you got involved with them.
Would you like to be a captain of my Guards?
No way.
- What?! I'll turn you into... - Whatever you want!
She's got neither Silver Shoes nor Golden Cap.
I'll attend to you personally, kid.
Halt!
They'll never come in here again.
And we'll never get out either.
From the point of view of...
We're surrounded. From any point of view.
We have to find a way out.
Where is my axe?
It's under the ceiling. I feel it.
A flying axe! I've got an idea!
If we can't escape on foot, let's go by air.
I can't go by air.
You won't have to. You'll fly.
It's even worse.
We'll starve them out.
May be. I'm smelling something suspicious.
And now I feel some serious trouble.
I don't want to hear about any trouble!
You've suggested a good idea. A mine!
I know some dwarves from the army of Ruggedo, the King of Underground.
He's my good friend, by the way.
Who's there?
We're your friends.
- What do you want? - I've got a business proposal.
And how will it fly without wings?
Here they are! The wings!
Every aircraft should have a tail.
Look what I've found in the basement! Nice, isn't it?
What do you want, old hag? Begging again?
Why beg? I've got a business proposal.
- What business can we have? - Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours.
- I'll give you 100 poods of emeralds. - And what do you want for it?
Nothing special. Your Magical Belt.
What?!
- Get out of here! - A Diamond Eye then?
A Diamond Eye?
You're nuts!
- I'll make... - Don't! Transforming Tobacco, deal?
How much?
3 pinches.
Then you'll give me 300 poods of diamonds.
Thank you very much. I'll never forget your kindness.
Get out of here! And don't cheat on me! I'll get you everywhere!
Have I ever cheated on anybody?
There's too little of the Powder of Life left.
- Pour it on the wings. - On the head.
Don't forget the tail.
I think we made it.
Wow! Know! How!
Wow!
I'm so ugly! Even a dachshund has got longer legs!
Destroy me!
No, you're very nice.
Hey, you! Hurry up!
We should have made the stag on the roof!
He can't get out!
- Here you are, my dearest! - Let's take the risk.
Turbanda-curbanda!
It can't be real!
I'm flying in the sky!
I'm moving the furniture!
And I used to be...
...a beautiful and proud animal...
...I wandered the forests.
And who am I now?
You are a Flying Sofa!
We are flying in the sky
Faster than a plane.
- Hurray to the freedom! - Hurray to the progress!
- We're not afraid of blizzards. - Of storms or hurricanes!
A Flying Sofa is the safest aircraft.
It's so tragic! We should tell Glinda that they got killed.
Why do you think so? They could survive.
Stop it! Let's watch!
What is it? I feel like I fell down!
Not only you.
And where are the others?
- I'm here. - So we are.
- Thanks, daddy! - And where is our stag?
I'm here!
I'm real junk!
- Hurray! We're safe and sound! - I'm not.
- I lost my straw. - But your head is intact.
That's why I've got an idea.
Stuff me with these green leaves.
Brilliant!
These look like the leaves of an evergreen tree '"broomus greenus'".
- It's money! - Money? Never heard of it.
Of course. You live in the Land of Oz.
It's the most precious thing in my native Kansas.
But where did it come from?
- It looks like a crow's nest. - A magcrow's nest.
A magcrow is a crossbreed of a crow and a magpie. They often steal things.
I'll be the richest person in the Land of Oz. And in the whole world.
What is it? Is the money so unhealthy?
My Uncle Henry used to say that money spoils people.
Turbanda! Curbanda! They are going to visit Glinda!
I watched you closely. Can I help you?
A girl gang captured and plundered my Emerald City!
You must reinstall me on my throne!
Must I? Reinstall you?!
As you wish. I can beat any enemy with all this money.
Stupid Scarecrow. Money is worthless in the Fairy Land of Oz.
One needs sharp wit here and you lost it.
How come?
I'm sorry. I was a complete fool.
Rita, Lynda! Shake His Majesty out and stuff him with nice fresh straw.
The history of the Land of Oz is very mysterious.
Evil witches killed its last ruler Pastoria.
His daughter Princess Ozma disappeared that very day.
Is there anything about her in the Book?
Unfortunately, there is not a word about what happened to Ozma in the Book.
You've missed one interesting fact.
I noticed that the Witches from the East and the West fought for the power...
...without their sister Mombi.
But people saw her in the Emerald City that very day when the Princess disappeared.
- Mombi could kidnap the girl and... - And what?
We shall ask Mombi about it.
Hello, Auntie!
We should run! Glinda is too tough to mess up with.
You can't get away. Tell us about Princess Ozma.
I'll tell you everything. But first let me have a snuff.
It's the Transforming Powder!
I got you.
I'm asking you for the last time. Where is Ozma?
Here she is!
What? Am I a girl? Funny!
Come on. She is lying.
- Not this time. - I don't want to be a girl!
It's not that awful.
- But why did she do it? - Why?
You won't get it, stupid scarecrow!
I turned Ozma into a boy so that no one could find her.
And I was going to tame her.
And then I would return her to the throne and rule the Emerald City on her behalf.
And now in accordance with the clause 88/8 you'll go to jail.
We'll punish her later.
First she must restore the true face of Princess Ozma!
I don't want to be Ozma! I want to be Top.
Then in accordance with sections A, B, C, D Mombi will be declared innocent.
Ad she will have her nephew back.
Top, my dearest! Give your Auntie a hug!
No, I agree to be a Princess.
Mombi has got a chance to practice her witchcraft for the very last time.
- I can't! I lost it! - What did you lose?
- I lost it all. The recipes, the memory... - You lost your conscience, old turbanda!
Wait! What is it?
Be a man, daddy!
I'm happy that the Emerald City and the Land of Oz...
...will be governed by a legitimate ruler. She's young and beautiful Ozma.
This Diamond Eye belonged to your father. It was stolen. Now it's yours, Ozma.
You will see whatever you want in it.
Even the things that are far away.
Then you'll see me and Scarecrow.
Every day at 6 sharp we shall blow you kisses.
Thank you, my friends! I love you all.
Oh, turbanda-curbanda...
My dear friend Dolly. I am afraid even Glinda cannot help you to go home.
- But I can! - The magic will not work there.
I prefer being a stuffed head than a piece of flying furniture.
Farewell, my friends!
Good luck!
