While there are a number of modest special effects, the movie relies largely on dancing (or rather cavorting), slapstick, and costuming.
Dr. Pipt's daughter is added for love interest, as well as an additional plot thread: her boyfriend is turned into a small statue which women find irresistible.
The plot omits the Glass Cat, the Shaggy Man, Dorothy, Mr. Yoop, The Lazy Quadling, and the phonograph, but also adds Mewel, a donkey, and "The Lonesome Zoop", both slapstick animals, as well as Jinjur, Jesseva and Danx, and Jesseva's friends.
Notable cast members, one uncredited, were future producer/director Hal Roach and comedian Harold Lloyd.
The International Wizard of Oz Club has extensive information on the production, for example in The Baum Bugle, Christmas 1972.
