Also, there's the animated Dorothy of Oz, with the voices of Patrick Stewart, Dan Aykroyd, Martin Short, and Lea Michele.
Finally, we have Oz the Great and Powerful, with James Franco. This is said to be a prequel to The Wizard of Oz, based more on Baum's book than the MGM 1939 film, and centering on the Wizard's initial arrival in Oz and his early dealings with the good and wicked witches.
