A Question About The Wizard Of Oz in Flim!
I just finshed reading The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz and wondered if this novel has ever been film!
As a cartoon or tv-movie or mini-series because the 1939" version is not ever close to the book!
I think Return To Oz is the only flim to come close to any of the novel am I right on that one?

I'm not aware of any adaptations that are really close to the books which is I think what you are asking . Return to Oz I think has parts of two books but leaves other parts out so it's not really all that close.
The wikipedia link (here's a fixed version: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wiz..._(adaptations)) doesn't really talk about whether any of the adaptations are close to the books.

Thanks to Ginwen and Glies and I hope Boorman does it justice cause the The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz ((the novel)) is wicked and over-top!

My favorite parts of the book arent in the film, namely the scene where the Lion fights the spidery waspy monster and frees the forest, to which he returns to be king; and the walled city where the living china dolls fascinated Dorothy, and she wanted to carry a milkmaid home in her basket to live on her mantel, but the china dolls would freeze not be able to move lest they should ever leave the walls of their city.
