“Legends of OZ: Dorothy’s Return” Full Trailer — 3D Animated Family Pic starring Glee’s Lea Michele

Kansas farm girl Dorothy Gale may have left OZ like a homesick hayseed, but she's getting a hero's welcome in the new full trailer for the 3D animated musical family comedy "Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return."

"Glee" star Lea Michele voices the dog-toting homespun heroine, who is once again magically transported back to the rainbow-colored world -- only this time around, she must team up with a royal marshmallow guard (Hugh Dancy), a porcelain princess (Smash's Megan Hilty), and a giant owl (Oliver Platt) in order to save her former yellow-brick cohorts -- the Tin Man (Kelsey Grammer), the Scarecrow (Dan Aykroyd) and the ex-Cowardly Lion (James Belushi) -- from a tyrannical jester (Martin Short) who has taken control of the Emerald City.

"Legends of Oz" is based on a 1989 children's book by Roger Baum (the great-grandson of "Oz" creator/author L. Frank Baum), and it's slated for a theatrical release this May.

synopsis:
Dorothy returns to Kansas to find it devastated by the tornado that sent her to Oz. Before she can react to the destruction of her home, she is transported back to Oz, where her three friends (Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Man) have disappeared. She meets a charming man made of marshmallows who can’t quite think for himself, a tiny china doll princess whose bossiness is a cover for her fragility, and a tugboat with as many personalities as he has pieces. Dorothy must help this group band together against the Jester, a wicked new villain who believes that all of Oz should be under his control.
