Mirrormask vs Return to Oz (1985)

 

This week's theme for the podcast is children escaping trauma through fantasy lands. First up is Dave McKean and Neil Gaiman's Mirrormask, where a girl wishes to be the death of her mom, and then winds up in a fantastical world after her mom gets sick.  Next is Disney's follow up to The Wizard of Oz decades later, which follows Dorothy checking into a psych ward to get electroshock therapy in Return to Oz.
