We are very excited to present an exclusive first look at Megan Hilty at the studio for Summertime Entertainment's upcoming animated feature film - DOROTHY OF OZ!

The film will feature music by Oscar-nominee and 15-time Grammy winner, Bryan Adams, writing original songs for the feature with his writing partner, Jim Vallance. Along with Grammy-Award winning songwriter Tift Merritt and Emmy-winner Jim Dooley. Lyricist Mike Himelstein. Music supervisor is Vicki Hiatt (Ali, Hannibal, Madagascar, Open Season).

In the star-filled cast are Dorothy - Lea Michele, The Jester - Martin Short, The Tin Man - Kelsey Grammer, The Lion - Jim Belushi, The Scarecrow - Dan Aykroyd, Marshal Mallow - Hugh Dancy, China Princess - Megan Hilty, Wiser the Owl - Oliver Platt and Tugg - Patrick Stewart.

In production for a mid-2012 release, the plot begins as 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.
