That anticipatory "I dont want to be a statue" song is brilliant. Every musical goes the conventional route and introduces their leads with an "I Want" song, where you learn about what they've always been and what they've always dreamed of becoming. It takes a truly original show to introduce a character with an "I DON'T Want" song, where we learn nothing about who they are or what they've dreamt of, but definitively learn why they don't want to become something terrible they were suddenly and randomly threatened with a few seconds before. Genius

A couple of notes on the extraordinary life and career of director Barry Mahon. In 1941, before the US had entered the war, Mahon traveled to England and joined the RAF. He flew Spitfires as a member of the Eagle Squadron, scoring five victories and winning the Distinguished Flyting Cross. Shot down over the English Channel in August 1942, he was captured and spent the remainder of the war as a POW. He made at least two unsuccessful escape attempts before being liberated by Patton's 3rd Army in 1945. This experience would lead him to serving as a technical advisor for the 1963 film "The Great Escape", in which Steve McQueen would play a character based on Mahon. After the war Mahon became the personal pilot for Errol Flynn, which led him into filmmaking. He made a number of low budget action/horror/nudie films before drifting into (of all things) children's films.

I can't stop watching this one. It comforts me, maybe more than the original Wizard of Oz does, at this point. Also, the music is half catchy, half TERRIBLE. The songwriter has this weird chord progression they default to in the 'Statue' and sleeping 'Star' songs and I hate it. I don't have the music theory vocab to explain it, but somethin' ain't right. However, I kind of like the opening singalong and the witch's tune. Also, anything to do with the Witch ("DTF?" "Radagast the Brown was a very generous lover") and Jack (his strangely high voice, odd posture, and "I'll be out here....with the axe") is hilarious.

Director Barry Mahon (1969) became relatively famous for his Nudie Films (he was also writer and producer). I actually remember a battered up 16mm print of this showing up on a regular basis for children shown at my local church. Even small children became disinterested about 1/4 of the way through the move.

Fun fact #1) The Wonderful Wizard of Oz book by L Frank Baum has been hypothesized that it’s just an allegory about Baum’s wish the US would go on to the silver standard because Dorothy’s shoes were silver in the book. Fun fact #2) Mike Nelson sleeps in a bed with a giant poster of Sandy Franks above him. Fun fact 3) You can make up fun facts.

@@noahkarpinski1824 well first of all that doesn't disprove anything, if you want to write a book that's an allegory, you would absolutely write a dozen books that are an allegory. secondly, I want to say he kept writing more and more Oz books because publishers wouldn't buy anything else from him. But yeah it's still not true.

Some guy came up with that b.s. interpretation over six decades after The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was first published. If Baum really intended the book to be an allegory about monetary policy, I think somebody would’ve noticed way sooner.

On the other hand, the Army of Revolt in 'The Marvelous Land of Oz' was pretty transparently a gentle satire of the suffragette movement (which makes the idea of a cryptic and encoded economic allegory in the first book even less likely). Baum's mother-in-law was Matilda Gage, a famous early feminist activist - it is plausible that the unusual idea of 'good witches' in the first Oz book was inspired by Ms Gage's writings. So Baum was having some fun with the movement, but was likely sympathetic with their political aims. In any case, Jinjur's army is not only a topical satire: the theatrical musical of The Wizard of Oz had been quite successful, and Baum knew that a line of dancing girls in colorful costumes would be a big sell for a stage adaptation of this sequel. In the book, the men of the Emerald City beg the Scarecrow to restore the status quo. Not because women should be put in their place, but 'doing housework and minding the children is wearing out the strength of every man in the Emerald City.' 'Hm!' said the Scarecrow, thoughtfully. 'If it is such hard work as you say, how did the women manage it so easily?' 'I really do not know,' replied the man, with a deep sigh. 'Perhaps the women are made of cast-iron.' In the end, when order is restored, 'it is said that the women were so tired eating of their husbands' cooking that they all hailed the conquest of Jinjur with joy.' It was more fun re-reading these bits and quoting them than it was to watch that awful film.

Dunno if it’s covered in comments, but this script is actually pretty faithful to one of the Oz books, the 2nd one? adapted in 80’s Return to Oz movie which was actually pretty darn good.

I knew from reading. Not Baum's books, of course, but from a superhero story, where Ozma is an important supporting character. Gotta say, _Oz_ reminds me of _Harry Potter_ in that there are lots of seemingly innocuous magics and items that, if used at all creatively, are _incredibly_ broken powerful.

It's in the 2nd book. Baum was pretty involved with the Suffragist movement and I think he prescribed to the belief that human society was once a matriarchy before being taken over by patriarchal society. This story may have been an allegory for that idea, and an expression of the belief that the women's rights movement was a return to humanity's natural order.

@@oliviastratton2169 And we know now there is no natural order and society never and didn't work that way. Paleoanthropology has come a long way. :P Any such matriarchal societies were cultural developments. Human's 'natural society' is to live in the tree copses of the savanna in tribal communes. The form of leadership such groups had is still unknown and will probably never be known for certain, but it was probably closer to a functional anarchy. Though we do know humans early on lost alpha/dominant males and evolved to favor cooperation, losing our early ancestors stronger sexual dimorphism in the process. Boy that was a right old tangent.
