 * The 1999, Russian two-part animated television adaptation of L. Frank Baum, Adventures in the Emerald City: Silver Shoes. It’s mostly based on Baum but includes several elements from the "Magic Land" books. A two part sequel, Adventures in the Emerald City: Princess Ozma, adapted Baum’s Land of Oz.
