Wiki.
Return to Oz is a 1964 animated television special produced by Crawley Films for Videocraft International. Aired February 9, 1964 in the United States as the first of three The General Electric Fantasy Hour specials for NBC, it was rebroadcast on February 21, 1965. Directed by F. R. Crawley, Thomas Glynn, and Larry Roemer from a teleplay by Romeo Muller, who later wrote Dorothy in the Land of Oz, the special was the first produced by Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass of Rankin/Bass Productions (soon-to-be renamed Videocraft International).
Crawley Films had previously produced the 1961 animated series Tales of the Wizard of Oz and brought similar artistic character renditions to the subsequent special. In the plot, Dorothy and Toto arrive back in Oz, learning that the Wicked Witch of the West has been restored back to life, casting dark spells, kidnapping the Wizard, and plotting revenge on Dorothy. Along with the support of her Oz pals, Dorothy and Toto embark on a journey to rid Oz of the Wicked Witch for good.
