The Wonderful Galaxy of Oz


Space Oz no Bōken is an anime television series produced by Enoki Films and EZ Films that aired on TV Tokyo from October 5, 1992, to April 5, 1993. The series is a futuristic reimagining of L. Frank Baum's 1900 children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Since its original run, the series has not been rebroadcast in Japan or received any home media release. The English dub, The Wonderful Galaxy of Oz, was produced by Enoki Films USA in 1996 as a 75-minute direct-to-video film, using footage from the first and final few episodes. No proper material was available until 2019, when an Arabic dub of all 26 episodes was uploaded to YouTube.

Premise

In the year 2060, eight-year-old Dorothy and her dog Toto are swept off their home planet of New Kansas in the aftermath of a catastrophic storm. They end up in the Galaxy of Oz, where an evil witch known as Gloomhilda once ruled; eventually driven out by renowned scientist Dr. Oz, she now has her sights on reclaiming the galaxy and has amassed an army in the outskirts of space. Her attack, however, is foiled due to Dorothy's unexpected arrival.
Knowing that Gloomhilda will return, Dr. Oz plans to use three magic crystals previously thought to have been lost for hundreds of years to rid the galaxy of her wickedness. Under Dr. Oz's guidance, Dorothy and an assortment of "heroes" set out to scour the Galaxy in search of the crystals.
