(Filmation Studios, 1972) Original production cel and production background featuring Dorothy presenting a crown to the Scarecrow from Journey Back to Oz. The cel is placed on a vivid original hand-painted production background. Total image measures 11 x 8.5, with overall dimensions of 14.75 x 10.5. In fine condition. An official sequel to the classic 1939 MGM film, Filmation's Journey Back to Oz began production in 1962 but ran out of funding and was halted for nearly eight years. Most notably, this would have been Liza Minnelli's first major credited role—following in her mother Judy Garland's footsteps as the voice of Dorothy—as her part was recorded in 1963. The movie was finally completed in 1971, then released in the UK in 1972 and the US in 1974. An extremely attractive, appealing piece. Learn more about our Animation Expert, Harry Kleiman.
