The 1985 film "Return to Oz" is loosely based on which of L. Frank Baum's books?
Return to Oz Return to Oz is a 1985 fantasy adventure film directed and written by Walter Murch, an editor and sound designer, co-written by Gill Dennis and produced by Paul Maslansky. It stars Nicol Williamson as the Nome King, Jean Marsh as Princess Mombi, Piper Laurie as Aunt Em, Matt Clark as Uncle Henry and introduces Fairuza Balk as Dorothy Gale. It is loosely based on L. Frank Baum's "Oz" novels, mainly "The Marvelous Land of Oz" (1904) and "Ozma of Oz" (1907), yet is set six months after the events of the first novel, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" (1900) took place. Although it is not a sequel and unrelated to the 1939 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film, "The Wizard of Oz", it borrows a few elements of it such as the ruby slippers.
Woggle-Bug The Highly Magnified Woggle-Bug is a character in the Oz books by L. Frank Baum. He first appears in the book "The Marvelous Land of Oz" in 1904. He goes by the name H. M. Woggle-Bug, T.E. ("Highly Magnified and Thoroughly Educated"). In later books the hyphen was sometimes dropped: "Wogglebug".
