The Oz Kids(1996)

The Oz Kids is an animated fantasy comedy-drama series that reimagines L. Frank Baum's classic tale for a new generation. Produced by Hyperion Animation and first broadcast on ABC in 1996, the show follows Dot and Neddie, two human children navigating the magical Land of Oz alongside familiar and new characters including Tin Boy, Scarecrow Jr., Jack Pumpkinhead Jr., and Andrea, daughter of Glinda. The series expands the original story with fresh adventures and younger versions of beloved characters. Like Muppet Babies, the show employs a distinctive visual style where adult faces remain unseen, keeping the focus on the children's perspective and their fantastical journey through Oz's whimsical world.
