musical
fantasy film
produced by
Walt Disney

by
The Brothers Grimm
. The 16th film in the
Walt Disney Animated Classics series
, it was released to theaters on January 29, 1959, by

(1989).
The film was directed by

Graunke Symphony Orchestra
under the direction of
George Bruns
, are arrangements or adaptations of numbers from the 1890
Sleeping Beauty
ballet
by
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
.
Sleeping Beauty
was the first animated film to be photographed in the
Super Technirama 70
widescreen
process, as well as the second full-length animated feature film to be filmed in anamorphic widescreen, following Disney's own
Lady and the Tramp
four years earlier. The film was presented in
Super Technirama 70
and 6-channel stereophonic sound in first-run engagements.

The Emerald City of Oz
is the sixth of
L. Frank Baum
's fourteen
Land of Oz
books. It was also adapted into a Canadian animated film in 1987. Originally published on July 20, 1910, it is the story of
Dorothy Gale
and her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em coming to live in Oz permanently. While they are toured through the
Quadling Country
, the
Nome King
is assembling allies for an invasion of Oz. This is the first time in the Oz series that Baum made use of double plots for one of the books.

Baum had intended to cease writing Oz stories with this book, but financial pressures prompted him to write and publish
The Patchwork Girl of Oz
, with seven other Oz books to follow.

The book was dedicated to "Her Royal Highness Cynthia II of Syracuse" — actually the daughter (born in the previous year, 1909) of the author's younger brother, Henry Clay "Harry" Baum.
