Let’s not forget that Disney’s “Snow White” was a major influencing factor, not only to this MGM movie but to musicals (and their tropes) in general. Walt cleverly integrated songs in his animated features to advance storylines, act as a shorthand to plot points, whilst simultaneously entertain the audience. MGM wanted to produce something which would be as entertaining and iconic as “Snow White” and despite it’s numerous directors, cast changes and production difficulties they certainly achieved just that. Thoroughly enjoyed this review though. 👍

What a wonderful Analysis on the Wizard of Oz 😊😊 and I just love your KZitem channel in general 😊 I was wondering if you ever thought of doing a video on 1939 itself as it was known as the greatest year in movie history and the Hollywood’s golden age peak because I’d say it was hard trying to pick any film from 1939 as there are so many movies that are considered classics along with Oz like Gone With The Wind, Dark Victory & Stagecoach. Seems like a good essay topic 😊😊

1:06 Not to nitpick, but Dorothy's solo is called "Over the Rainbow." The word "somewhere" is nowhere in the title. :-) Nice summary of musical theater in the early 20th century, but I'd have included a reference to the fact that an "extravaganza" based on "The Wizard of Oz" was a massive hit on stages across the U.S.A. from 1902 to roughly 1909. And if you want to talk about musical numbers that have nothing to do with the plot, imagine the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman singing a song all about violence in football. Excellent video, my friend!

Most people would call it "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" even though they're wrong. It's like referring to Dr. Frankenstein's creation as "Frankenstein"; it's just something most people do.

Great Chanel, but I must take (light hearted) issue - this merely being the third feature length screen version ( the others being 1914 & 1925) but only the first feature length musical of the Frank Baum books. It does nothing that other musicals had not done by 1939, including switching into and out of color such as Eddie Cantor's "Kid Millions" (1934), or German cinemas "Drei von der tankstelle" (1930) which was amongst their first talkies yet it eschewed audience/stage artifice from the start. Films such as "The Jazz Singer" (1927) and "Applause" (1929) are really back stage dramas rather than musicals per se. Wizard Of Oz's cult status comes from repeated showings on 1950's American TV. (Discus) Beware of falling into the "If Hollywood did it, then they did it first" trap. And don't confuse Film history with Film theory or delusion will overtake you. ;) Might I recommend Maurice Tournier's "Poor Little Rich Girl" (1917) as a candidate for a musical that never was.

"The Wizard of Oz" was a phenomenon when it was released, and there had been much build-up to it on radio shows. It was accompanied by one of the first marketing blitzes in history, with many Oz products appearing on the market, and indeed the Oz book for that year-- Ruth Plumly Thompson's "Ozoplaning with the Wizard of Oz" united Dorothy with her original traveling companions, the Wizard, and Emerald City maid Jellia Jamb (approximated in the movie by the beautician played by Lois January) for an adventure "into the outer stratosphere," as one may say. The reason people came to talk of it as not being successful is that it only broke even at the box office, but that was only because it had been so expensive to produce. But rest assured, it was a hit.

You need to beware not to fall into the trap of getting technical innovations too tangled up in whether or not something is a good movie. I assume you have seen Kid Millions and Filling Station before you are namedropping them? They are extremely mediocre, regardless of their frills. There is a lot more to Oz’s place as a cornerstone of American cinema than ‘repeated showings’, there were plenty of others who were shown just as often and are now long forgotten in the mainstream. I’m not saying that it deserves to be quite as venerated as it is, but to contribute its success solely to the media is a massive exaggeration.
