Tales of the Wizard of Oz is a 1961 animated television series produced by Crawley Films for Videocrafts (later known as Videocraft and ultimately Rankin/Bass Productions). This is the second animated series produced by the studio, and the first by Rankin/Bass to feature traditional animation. The series features stories derived from characters created in L. Frank Baum's book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Several characters are given additional names, including Dandy Lion, Rusty Tin Man, and Socrates the Scarecrow. In October 2010, the series went into rotation on the Retro Television Network.
