The Story of Dorothy and Toto's journey to see the Wizard of Oz is a happy, bubbly, escape from reality.From being whisked away from reality to Munchkin land, to making it safely to Emerald city; the story of Dorothy's upbeat journey is happy and everything seems to work out perfectly. In the Dreamland of Oz, Dorothy and Toto journey while meeting friends on the way and enjoying themselves in the wonderful new land while in reality life is much more difficult and dismal.

Escapism in reality gives the audience the ability to escape from their reality.

Literature in television was also very inclusive of the use of escapism. Many shows, including the child star Shirley Temple's many shows and movies, showed an overly happy outlook on life very different to how the United States Citizens saw their lives at the time.
