crashing on the island—just one of the many references to Baum's Oz novels on the show. In the ABC telefilm The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, Henry was played by David Alan Grier and owned a diner rather than a farm. In the VeggieTales episode The Wonderful Wizard of Ha's, Uncle Henry and his wife Aunt Em were substituted by a father (Dad Asparagus) to retell The Prodigal Son, a biblical parable from the Gospel. Uncle Henry appears in Dorothy and the Witches of Oz played by Lance Henriksen. He posthumously reveals that his great-grandparents Frank and Maud Baum were the true parents of Dorothy Gale in a letter. Uncle Henry was voiced by Stephen Root in the direct-to-video animated film Tom and Jerry and the Wizard of Oz. Uncle Henry appears in Tom and Jerry: Back to Oz, voiced again by Stephen Root.
