About the film
Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return is a 2013 American animated musical fantasy film that is loosely based on the 1989 book Dorothy of Oz by L. Frank Baum's great-grandson Roger Stanton Baum. Directed by Daniel St. Pierre and Will Finn, the film features the voices of Lea Michele, Dan Aykroyd, Jim Belushi, Kelsey Grammer, Oliver Platt, Megan Hilty, Hugh Dancy, Patrick Stewart, and Martin Short.
The film premiered at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in France on June 14, 2013 and was released in the United States and Canada on May 9, 2014. The film was largely panned by both critics and audiences and was considered by analysts to be a colossal box-office bomb, grossing $21.7 million worldwide against a budget of $70 million.
It is the only film produced by Summertime Entertainment as the company was shut down in response to the film's commercial underperformance.
