Dorothy Gale (played by Judy Garland) is the main protagonist of the 1939 movie, The Wizard of Oz. She is an ordinary girl from Kansas who runs away from home when her nasty neighbor Miss Gulch tries to kill her dog Toto. But when a kind gypsy named Professor Marvel convinces her that her family and friends care about her she goes back. She is swept up in a tornado and sent to the magical land of Oz. She embarks on a quest to find the local Wizard to help her get home and escape the cultches of the evil Wicked Witch of the West who is after the Ruby Slipper Dorothy took from her dead sister. Along the way she befriends the Scarecrow, Tinman, and Cowardly Lion who also want something from the Wizard as well.
