The story revolves around Dorothey and her dog Toto. They get "transported" to the magical land of Oz where they meet The Scarecrow, The Tin Man and The Cowardly Lion. These are the main characters of the film.

Dorothy is the main character since "The Wizard of Oz" is the story of her adventures in the beautiful, magical lands of Oz and of her attempts to get back to her drab but heartwarming life with Uncle Henry and Aunt Em in Kansas.

Specifically, Uncle Henry and Aunt Em are Dorothy's guardians. They are responsible for her upbringing and her friendly, honest, practical ways. Toto, the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion are Dorothy's companions on her travels. They are helpmates in getting Dorothy back to Kansas at the same time that Toto is her lifelong friend and the other three have that potential once they obtain the heart, brains and courage that they respectively seek.

The main characters in the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz' are Dorothy Gale, her pet dog Toto, and her adoptive/foster parents Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. Dorothy is an orphaned girl who keeps her sense of joy and wonder, in a drab environment and to the wonder of her Aunt Em. It's because of Toto's expressive eyes and winsome ways that Dorothy doesn't become as bleached out in appearance and personality as her taciturn, stern, solemn Uncle Henry and her gaunt and unsmiling Aunt Em.

Other main characters are the traveling companions whom Dorothy meets in her tornado driven visit to the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz. The Cowardly Lion is very big, has a loud roar, and easily is intimidated by others. The Scarecrow is stuffed with straw, and has a painted on face. The Tin Woodman is made entirely of metal and carries an axe and an oil can.

Still other main characters are the problem solvers with whom Dorothy interacts in her attempt to get back home to Kansas. One is the Wizard of Oz, who is short and bald headed. The other is Glinda the Good Witch, who is a beautiful redhead.
