Plot[]
Before the show, Grandma Kitty was getting Hello Kitty ready for showtime. Catnip sees this, and decides to cause sabotage by replacing Tuxedo Sam's can of oil for his costume with a can of not oil.
The story begins in a farm in the land of Catfish where Hello Dorothy lived with her grandcats. One day, a tornado comes ripping through their farm, and their grandcats tried to look for her and evacuate in the cellar. The house is then sucked in by the tornado, and inside the house, Hello Dorothy was in bed until she realized that she was in the tornado. The house comes down to the ground, and when Dorothy came out of the house, she was not in Catfish anymore. She is then greeted by Tin Penguin who welcomes her to the Land of Paws, as well as introducing the Munchkits, Scarecrow Chip, and the Cowardly Rabbit. Tin Penguin and Scarecrow Chip thank her for helping them from being turned into cat litter by the Wicked Witchy. Dorothy greets herself to them, saying that "where she comes from, there's no such thing as witches." However, the Good Witch pops out and questions her about witches not being a thing. Suddenly, Dorothy's house begins to rock which frightens everyone away. Dorothy spots a very magic collar and takes it as she wears it around her neck. Just then, the Wicked Witchy emerges from beneath the house and sees Dorothy with her collar as she tries to grab it, but fails. She vows to make Dorothy regret from ever taking the collar, telling her to remember what she said as she flies off in her broomstick. The Good Witch tells Dorothy not to worry as she is safe as long as she wears the collar. Dorothy asks her where she can make it back to Catfish, but she doesn't know anything about it. She then tells her to ask the Wonderful Wizard of Paws, because he's the one who knows everything, and the Good Witch disappears. Dorothy, Tin Penguin, Scarecrow Chip and the Cowardly Rabbit take the Yellow Block Road Express to Anchovy City where the wizard resides.
At Anchovy City, the wizard was nowhere to be seen until he hears them for disturbing him, as Tin Penguin tells him what they're here for. The Wonderful Wizard of Paws emerges and asks them what they want; Hello Dorothy wants to go home, Tin Penguin wants a heart, Scarecrow Chip wants some brains, and the Cowardly Rabbit wants to be brave. The wizard tells them to bring him the broomstick from the Wicked Witchy of the West, and their wishes shall be granted.
At the witch's castle, the Wicked Witchy sees them heading to her castle and summons Lieutenant Grinder and the Flying Dogs. She tells them to bring Hello Dorothy to her, unharmed, and lets them do whatever they can with the others, as they prepare to attack at moonrise.
On their way to the castle, they see Lt. Grinder and his squad. Tin Penguin tries to defend, but the lieutenant grabs him and tosses him like a football. Scarecrow Chip tries to defend, but the lieutenant grabs him and bounces him around like a basketball. Finally, he grabs the Cowardly Rabbit and tosses her like a baseball and takes Hello Dorothy with him.
Tin Penguin demands the flying dogs to drop them. They do so, and Tin Penguin lands in a swamp, Scarecrow Chip hits the ground hard beating his stuffing out, and the Cowardly Rabbit lands on a tree branch. She couldn't take anymore of it and tries to leave, but decides to go back and help her friends out. She helps re-stuff Scarecrow Chip and both pull Tin Penguin out of the swamp. Scarecrow Chip was about to use the oil can to loosen Tin Penguin up, but instead of oil, it was whipped cream! Luckily, the Good Witch appears with an oil can to trade, and soon Tin Penguin is loosened and ready to go.
The trio arrives at the witch's castle and see the Wicked Witchy threatening Hello Dorothy to hand over the collar. Tin Penguin has an idea; place a piece of board on a rock and use the drawbridge to catapult them into the castle. He intimidates the poodle until the drawbridge comes down and they are soon catapulted inside the castle. Lt. Grinder prepares to charge on them, but Tin Penguin swings down and grabs them as the clumsy lieutenant charges through the door and falls down the pit. The witch becomes furious and is about to turn them into toads, but all move out of the way as the ray hits a mirror and backfires on her, turning her into a toad. All four take her broomstick and head for Anchovy City, as a male toad falls for the toad-turned witch and chases after her.
Back at Anchovy City, the wizard was taking a nap until the four come crashing through the roof and arrive with the broomstick. The wizard finally grants them their wishes; the Cowardly Rabbit is given a pair of visors and is able to act cool and tough with no-one able to tell how scared she is, Scarecrow Chip is given a report card with all straight As, Tin Penguin is told that someone loves him and must have a heart and that he wouldn't be loved if heartless, and finally, the wizard prepares to personally take Hello Dorothy home with the broomstick, but he takes off too soon and flies away uncontrollably in the distance.
Hello Dorothy falls hopeless of being unable to return home, until the Good Witch shows up and tells her to just close her eyes, grab the magic collar, and say "Home, Furry Home" over and over again. She does so, and eventually wakes back up to reality, where her grandcats were waiting for her. She tells them of how she's been to the most purrific place, but she's also glad to be back and tells them that "there's no place like home, furry home."
When the show ends, Grandpa Kitty still couldn't control the broomstick, until he finally manages to stop it, and all the actors bow.
