Best Answer

Oz is where Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto are carried off to in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, Dorothy and Toto live with Dorothy's Uncle Henry and Aunt Em in Kansas. Kansas is prone to tornadoes, and one strikes while Dorothy is outside. Dorothy manages to get inside, but she and Toto do not get to the trap door down to the cellar in time. They therefore are carried away when the tornado uproots the Gale farmhouse, which it takes over the rainbow and into the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz.

What does the Wizard do for Dorothy in 'The Wizard of Oz'?

Nothing is what the Wizard does for Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, the Wizard decides that he wants to go back home, in both the original 1900 book edition and the beloved 1939 film version of "The Wizard of Oz." He chooses to go back the same way he came to Oz: by hot-air balloon. He assures Dorothy Gale that she and her pet dog Toto can keep him company on the way back to Kansas, but takes off when Toto runs off and the two cannot get back into the balloon before take-off.


In The Wizard of Oz does Dorothy refuse to leave Oz without her beloved little dog?

Yes, in the sense that Toto jumps out of the hot air balloon basket and Dorothy immediately jumps out too. Dorothy manages to catch Toto, but not in time to re-board the basket. The Wizard therefore takes off without his two passengers.


Why does Dorothy not go home with the Wizard?

Dorthy is unable to return home to Kansas with Wizard because just as their balloon is about to take off, Toto jumps out of the basket, Dorothy is doesn't want to leave without her beloved pet so races out after Toto. By the time both girl and dog are able to get back into the balloon, it's already too far away.


Why is Dorothy left behind when Oz leaves his land?

Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto are left behind when the Wizard leaves the lands and peoples of Oz. At the last minute, Toto jumps out of the basket. Dorothy runs after and catches Toto. But the two of them can't get back inside the basket before the hot air balloon takes off. And so it's only the Wizard who manages to leave by hot air balloon.


What was the name of the Wicked Witch in 'The Wizard of Oz' before the tornado?

Almira Gulch was the woman who objected to Toto, Dorothy's pet dog. She had orders to remove Toto from the farmhouse where Dorothy Gale lived with Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. Gulch had Toto put in the basket behind the seat to her bicycle. As she pedaled off, however, Toto managed to jump out and run back to Dorothy.


Who goes with Dorothy in 'The Wizard of Oz'?

Toto in the cyclone and Toto, the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion in Oz are those who go with Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, Dorothy's pet dog Toto is with her when the cyclone lifts the family farmhouse off its foundations and takes it over the rainbow and into the magical land of Oz. Dorothy and Toto have to travel to the Emerald City in order to find a way back home to Kansas. In the process, they meet up with the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, who become the two earthlings' traveling companions in Oz.


In the Wizard of Oz why did Dorothy leave home?

Dorothy Gale was swept away with the strong winds of the cyclone, because she didn't make it down to the safety of the cellar. She had been outside with her pet dog Toto. She managed to get into Uncle Henry's and Aunt Em's old farm house before the cyclone hit. But she and Toto were upstairs and therefore carried off to the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz.


Is a hot air balloon in the wizard of oz?

Dorothy Gale was in the hot air balloon with the Wizard and with her pet dog Toto. The three were planning to use the balloon to get back home to Kansas and Omaha, Nebraska. But Toto jumped out, Dorothy followed, and the two didn't get back in before the balloon took off. Only the Wizard therefore left Oz by balloon. Dorothy ended up using the magic power of the Wicked Witch of the East's slippers to get back home to Uncle Henry and Aunt Em.


Which song does Dorothy sing about the Emerald City in 'The Wizard of Oz'?

The songs 'Follow the Yellow Brick Road' and 'We're Off to See the Wizard' are what Dorothy Gale sings on her way to the Emerald City in the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz'. The Yellow Brick Road leads her to the Emerald City, where the Wizard lives in his Emerald Palace. The Wizard needs to be seen, in order for Dorothy and her pet dog Toto to be able to get back home to Kansas.


What needed to happen for the film and the story to have ended with the Wizard of Oz and Dorothy in Kansas?

Toto needed not to have jumped out of the hot air balloon basket. Or Dorothy Gale needed to have been much much quicker about catching Toto and getting them both back into the basket. Or there needed to have been a way to slow the take-off of the balloon. Or the Wizard needed to jump out,and start all over again with another balloon! Or the Wizard and Dorothy needed to have worked out a plan B for meeting in Kansas after arriving by different means.


Whom does Dorothy try to find?

First, Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto tried to find the Wizard of Oz. They had been dropped by a cyclone in the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz. But they wanted to get back home to Kansas. And they were told by the Munchkins, and the Good Witch of the North, to seek help from the Wizard, as the powerful Supreme Ruler of Oz. Then, Dorothy and Toto tried to find the Wicked Witch of the West. For the Wizard said that he would help Dorothy, Toto, and their friends the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion only if the five eliminated the Witch. In the original book published in 1900, the Wizard asked the five to kill the Witch. In the 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz, he asked them to bring back her broomstick. The Wizard purported to help the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion by giving them what each already had: a heart, a brain, and courage, respectively. He was going to take Dorothy and Toto back to Kansas, but his hot air balloon took off before the two could get back on board the basket. And so Dorothy and Toto tried to find Glinda the Good Witch. For the Soldier with the Green Whiskers, in the Emerald City of Oz, told them to seek her help once the Wizard was gone.


Who was left behind when the hot air balloon leaves in The Wizard of Oz?

Answer #1 That question makes no sense. Dorothy or Toto? Answer #2 Dorothy and Toto. The Wizard of Oz tells Dorothy that he can leave the land of Oz. For he sees the Scarecrow as an excellent candidate for taking over Supreme Rule of the country. He invites Dorothy and Toto to leave with him. For he originally is from Omaha, Nebraska. So he knows the part of the United States where they live with Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. Once inside the balloon basket, however, Toto jumps out at the last minute. Dorothy jumps out to catch Toto, and the balloon takes off with just the Wizard on board. She really wants to get back home, and manages to do so anyway. For Glinda the Good Witch of the South tells her about clapping the heels of the deceased Wicked Witch of the West's slippers together three times, and saying, "Take me home to Aunt Em!"
