She's been living a culturally deprived life, though, so no one can actually blame her.

Yet another white trash trailer kid becomes the savior of a magical, technologically enhanced future, after he inherits the Matrix by answering puzzles based on a period of the past most associated with overt materialism / bad 8 bit graphics - with the help of a body-positive token female, who of course lets him have top spot, but it's OK because his other white guy friend turns out to be a black chic so representation, yay.

So this young woman, Dorothy, is a pain in the ass at the farm where there is so much work to be done. Everyone at the farm loves her very much. She has a wild imagination and a beloved dog. She sings to the dog about flying over the rainbow.

The nasty neighbor tried to take her dog away so she felt she had no choice but to run away with her dog.

Tornados happen a lot in Kansas. A big one was on the way. Dorothy, at the advice of an odd stranger con man, ran back home for protection from the deadly winds headed their way. She realized that she had worried the shit out of her family.

She’s too late in returning to safety as the furious winds knock her into unconsciousness.

She is catapulted into a dimension in which she experiences a place deep within all of us (was this a near death experience?) in which she is exposed to what life is all about.. good, evil, true friends, trust, song, confidence of thought, bravery, fear, fatigue, falsehoods, jealousy, trickery, creativity, tolerance, love, the pain of saying ‘goodbye,’ and the strongest desire to return home with family and friends.

She learned she possessed something very powerful if she would not part from those sick shoes she wore. She learned to stay on a path and she made it through the times when she was not sure which way to go. She chose to return home because there's no place like home.

The Wizard was all smoke and screens but not the shoes.

She woke surrounded by her loved ones at the farm including the dog. She tried to explain that she was with them all even while she was “out.”
