The Witch's attacks, capture and melting

1 Tiny travelers stand at the open gate of the green city glittering in morning light

2 The one-eyed Witch watches the far plain from her doorstep, hand on her silver whistle

3 The Tin Woodman swings his axe at the leaping lead wolf as the pack presses in at dusk

4 Sunlight reveals the Witch on her doorstep, ringed by winged monkeys and their huge king

7 The Winged Monkey leader halts his long reaching arms a hand's breadth from Dorothy's glowing kiss-mark, held back by the Power of Good.

8 Seen from above, the one-eyed Witch stares down at the Silver Shoes on Dorothy's feet.

11 Crossing the castle kitchen, Dorothy trips over the unseen iron bar and sprawls forward as a silver shoe spins from her foot.

14 In the castle kitchen, the furious girl hauls the full wooden bucket back behind her hip while the cackling one-eyed Witch, wearing the stolen silver shoe, does not see the splash coming.

17 In the castle kitchen, the drenched old Witch screams as her black dress begins to collapse in folds, while the wide-eyed girl stands frozen with the empty bucket and splash drops hang in the air between them.

18 The Wicked Witch of the West wails as water melts her into a brown puddle

21 Dorothy, both silver shoes restored, races across the swept castle kitchen toward the sunlit door with Toto bounding at her side, eager to tell the Lion they are free.
