Tom and Jerry: Back to Oz is an American animated comic fantasy adventure direct-to-video film based on the Tom and Jerry theatrical shorts directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera at MGM. It was released by Warner Home Video on June 21, 2016. It was written by Paul Dini, and directed by Tony Cervone and Spike Brandt. The film is the twelfth in the Tom and Jerry direct-to-video film series.
For whatever the sad reason is, this is a direct sequel to the seventh direct-to-video film, Tom and Jerry & The Wizard of Oz, which was released in 2011.
In the wake of the Wicked Witch's demise, the Nome King threatens to take back the Emerald City, which he feels belongs to his kind, while Dorothy and her family are about to lose their farm. And Tom and Jerry are there, too. See, it makes perfect sense.

Behind the scenes
- This film picks up directly where the first one ended.
- Laraine Newman is giving credit at the beginning of the film, despite only a small piece of archived audio from the last film being used.
- Dorothy is 14-years-old, and she will turn 15 in April.
- This movie reveals that Professor Marvel and the Wizard of Oz are the same person.
- A second time Grey Griffin has been denied to sing as Dorothy, despite being a professional singer. Amy Pemberton, who replaces Nikki Yanoksy from the last film, is the singing voice of Dorothy.
- As the songs play during the end credits, animatics of them are also shown.
- The film is dedicated to Joe Alaskey, who died in February earlier in the same year it was released.
Errors
- The first Wizard of Oz crossover ended with Tom chasing Jerry out of the farm, but the film opens up like that never happened.
- Farmhand Tuffy is heard in Dorothy's bedroom, although isn't seen.
- What is it with African Americans in Tom and Jerry? Rarely do they appear, but when they do, they are depicted as a stereotype. Here, we have several African Americans, but why do they only appear together in one scene?
