Tip escapes to warn the Scarecrow, now the ruler of the city, and together they leave to find the Tin Woodman and assemble their own army.

Characters and incidents difficult to stage are left out, including the Sawhorse, the river crossing, the Jackdaws, the Wishing Pills, the Sunflowers, and the Griffin.

The "girlish" grievances of the Army of Revolt, set in the context of suffragettes in the 1904 novel, have been updated to include "homework" and "babysitting," and they are played as typical "rebellious teenage" stock characters of 1969.

The most radical departure comes at the end, when Tip's spiritual essence flies away to dwell in all the boys in the land, leaving an amnesiac Ozma who has no memory of the whole adventure.

The idea that Tip and Ozma could exist as separate entities originated in Jack Snow's short piece "A Murder in Oz," published posthumously in 1958, and has been recycled by other authors.

The Wonderful Land of Oz played in Saturday "kiddie matinee"[6][7] venues, but was not released on VHS until after it had been issued on DVD, making it something of a lost and often misreported legend.

Some sources, such as Allan Eyles's 1985 book, The World of Oz, claim that Dorothy Gale accompanied Tip on his journey in this film, but this is not the case.
