The Wizard was a Hollywood musical. It also could be considered a fantasy, or "movie based on book". It was a record-breaking movie because it was the first movie in color, or at least partly in color. If you've seen the movie, I'm sure you know it starts of in Kansas in black and white and then lands on the rainbow, in (what was then) dazzling color.

The original book version of The Wizard of Oz is an American fairy tale that follows the adventures of Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto, and begins the royal histories of the lands and peoples of Oz. The 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz is a musical.

A fairytale with folktale elements is the style of "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, a fairy tale tells of enchantments, little people, and magic that ultimately lead to a happy ending. A folk tale takes a far shorter amount of time to tell of unusual adventures that often do not involve happy elements. The descriptions fit "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" in its happy ending to a series of adventures combining enchantments, little people, magic and unpleasantness.

Voyage and return is the type of plot in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the answer applies to both the original 1900 book edition and the beloved 1939 film version of "The Wizard of Oz." This type of plot involves the round-trip transport of the main character from home to elsewhere to back home. In the process, the character learns valuable lessons about self-identity and about other people and things.

Fantasy. it is not science-fiction as the plot devices are clearly impossible and monsters and unreal situations are an indelible part of the plot.
