Description:  The Wizard of Oz cartoon adaptations follow young Dorothy Gale, whisked by a tornado from Kansas to the magical Land of Oz with her dog Toto, where she meets the brainless Scarecrow, heartless Tin Man, and cowardly Lion, all seeking help from the Wizard in the Emerald City to grant their wishes, usually involving defeating the Wicked Witch of the West along the way, leading to adventures and self-discovery. Different series exist, some like DiC's 1990 show make Dorothy a princess, while others like Tales of the Wizard of Oz (1960s) offer episodic adventures or crossovers, like Tom and Jerry: Back to Oz, keeping the core quest but adding new twists and characters.

Characters: Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, Wicked Witches (East/West), Wizard, Munchkins.

Plot: Journey down the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City for help, often involving chaos, magic, and mischief.

Variations: Some series focus on new adventures after the original story (e.g., Dorothy as Princess), while others adapt the classic tale with added characters (like Tom & Jerry) or different art styles (like the 1982 anime).
