The Road To Oz

Dorothée et son jeune chien Toto sont emportés par un cyclone et transportés dans un pays merveilleux. Seul le grand et puissant magicien d'Oz peut aider la jeune fille à rentrer chez elle, au Kansas.
Mais le chemin est long et semé d'embûches : accompagnée d'un épouvantail qui se plaint de ne pas avoir de cerveau, d'un bûcheron en fer-blanc qui dit ne pas avoir de coeur, et d'un lion qui a peur de manquer de courage, Dorothée se rend dans la Cité d'Émeraude...

Le magicien d'Oz

When Dorothy and her little dog Toto are caught in a tornado, they and their Kansas farmhouse are suddenly transported to Oz, where Munchkins live, monkeys fly and Wicked Witches rule. Desperate to return home, and with the Wicked Witch of the West on their trail, Dorothy and Toto - together with new friends the Tin Woodsman, Scarecrow and cowardly Lion - embark on a fantastic quest along the Yellow Brick Road in search of the Emerald City. There they hope to meet the legendary, all-powerful Wizard of Oz, who alone may hold the power to grant their every wish.Just as captivating as it was a hundred years ago, this is a story that all ages will love.

Le Magicien D'oz

The Nome King was in an angry mood, and at such times he was very disagreeable. Every one kept away from him, even his Chief Steward Kaliko.

Therefore the King stormed and raved all by himself, walking up and down in his jewel-studded cavern and getting angrier all the time. Then he remembered that it was no fun being angry unless he had some one to frighten and make miserable, and he rushed to his big gong and made it clatter as loud as he could.

In came the Chief Steward, trying not to show the Nome King how frightened he was.

"Send the Chief Counselor here!" shouted the angry monarch.

Kaliko ran out as fast as his spindle legs could carry his fat, round body, and soon the Chief Counselor entered the cavern. The King scowled and said to him:

"I'm in great trouble over the loss of my Magic Belt. Every little while I want to do something magical, and find I can't because the Belt is gone. That makes me angry, and when I'm angry I can't have a good time. Now, what do you advise?"

"Some people, " said the Chief Counselor, "enjoy getting angry."
