| The Wizard of Oz (1925) | comment |
1925's The Wizard of Oz is a loose composite of various Land of Oz books.Years prior to the start, the infant princess of Oz went missing. Years later, the kingdom is led by Prime Minister Kruel, the Wizard, and Lady Vishuss. The kingdom, however, wants to find the lost princess. Elsewhere, a young woman named Dorothy lives with her aunt and uncle in Kansas. On her 18th birthday, before Dorothy can open a letter meant to be opened on her 18th birthday, men from Oz appear by biplane to take the note. The note says that Dorothy is the rightful ruler of Oz. Soon afterward the men arrive, a tornado hits the area, sending Dorothy and three farmhands to Oz.Though the film is very loose in its interpretation of the series — it took characters from the 1902 musical — it helped inspire elements from MGM's more well-known 1939 adaptation. | |

Dorothy is combined with Ozma. In the books, Dorothy is an ordinary girl from Kansas who ends up in Oz by accident, while Ozma is the lost princess of Oz who was kidnapped and Raised as the Opposite Gender. This film turns Dorothy into the lost princess of Oz, having been transported to Kansas as a baby. Dorothy is also depicted as a young adult, which is closer to Ozma's age than Dorothy's. | |
