Dorothy Gale is the main protagonist of the 1939 movie, The Wizard of Oz. She is potrayed by Judy Garland. She is an ordinary girl from Kansas who runs away from home when her nasty neighbor Miss Gulch threatens to file a lawsuit to take/demolish her family's farm and 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 clutches of her archenemy, the Wicked Witch of the West who is after the Ruby Slippers Dorothy took from her dead sister. Along the way she befriends the Scarecrow, Tinman, and Cowardly Lion (Old Hunk, Hickory and Zeke in "reality") who also want something from the Wizard as well.
