Who made these cartoons?

[Bizarro Lois]

Sometimes RTV shows these cartoon episodes that seem to be based on Wizard of Oz characters. The only one I saw this weekend had a Tin Man meeting a bunch of talking frogs. I snapped a quick picture, hoping someone recognized him and can provide a little more information. I'm sure I've heard Dorothy mentioned in some of the episodes, but I'm not sure who else. I doubt these were linked to the movie. Who made them? Were they connected to the books somehow?

Never seen them, not that I remember anyway. Are there any credits at the end?

But Google turned this up Tales Of The Wizard Of Oz: Free Trade [1961] - YouTube

Is it sad, that I've known that theme song for *years*?

"Oh the World of Oz is a funny, funny place"...

Yep. I used to watch that cartoon in the 70s too. And still remember the song. :lol

"Where everyone has a funny funny face.
And the streets are paved with gold,
And no one ever grows old"...
