Tik Tok

Background

Tik Tok is the Royal Army of OZ. He is a patented clockwork mechanical man that does everything but live. He was left in a room by the Scarecrow to help Dorothy when she arrived.


During the events of Return to OZ (1985) played by Michael Sundin, Tim Rose and Sean Barrett

Tik Tok wakes up when Dorothy winds him up. When he finds out who she is, he tells her why he was placed in the room. They leave the room and when a group of Wheelers attack them, Tik Tok fights them off and takes the Lead Wheeler prisoner. Dorothy questions the Lead Wheeler and he takes them to Mombi's castle. Tik Tok, Dorothy and Billina enter the throne room of Mombi and Tik Tok and Billina wait while Dorothy goes with Mombi into her head room. Dorothy screams for help, but Tik Tok is helpless to help her when his action wears down. Later, Dorothy and Jack Pumpkinhead go into the throne room and after Dorothy winds him up, she tells Tik Tok to help Jack build a sled. Tik Tok and Jack go into the tower room and build a sled with a Gump head at the front. As they are building it, Tik Tok's thinking starts to wear down and he gives confusing directions. Dorothy returns and they get into the Gump sled and fly off after she brings it to life. They crash land at the Nome King's mountain and after Dorothy threatens the Nome King, the group is swallowed by the earth. Tik Tok, the Gump and Jack are reunited with Dorothy and the Nome King makes them an offer. If they can correctly choose what ornament the Scarecrow has been changed into they may leave. After the Gump and Jack fail to guess correctly it is Tik Tok's turn. He goes into the ornament room and stops moving. Dorothy is eventually let in and he tells her he acted like his action ran down so she could see what happens if he makes the wrong choice. He then cries a tear of fluid, hugs Dorothy and chooses an ornament and disappears. He is brought back when Dorothy holds him as a medal ornament and says the word OZ. He then joins the celebration as Dorothy returns to a rejuvenated OZ and Dorothy frees Ozma. He says bye to Dorothy before she returns to Kansas.
