Amazon describes the action adventure comedy story aimed at children:

When 12-year-old Dorothy Gale discovers her mother's mysterious journal in her Kansas home, she and her dog, Toto, are transported into a bustling, modern Emerald City. Disoriented and determined to get home, Dorothy embarks on an epic journey with West, a young witch, and Ojo, a giant Munchkin, to seek the magic she needs - as Oz faces its greatest magic crisis.

Bureau of Magic, a company established in 2014, produced the project. Flaunt Productions (Project Spark, Under Siege) is credited for design. Adam Berry (The Penguins of Madagascar) composed the music, while Mark Mothersbaugh (The LEGO Movie) composed the theme music.
