The older one gets, I think the harder the end of the film gets. Because it starts to remind you of your life. Family, friends...the first time seeing this. This is one of those films where I watch it and I start missing Family that has since passed away. I do love your reactions to things. I realized that, part of why I do love watching you react to movies....is you remind me a little of Rosie O'Donnell. (This is a good thing). Meaning...you have that sassy New Yorker thing, but it also feels like a best friend cuddled up on the couch watching a film with you. Just The type of weekend where one needs it like...this week. Most of us are in weather so cold it is going to make things freeze off and fall off if we aren't careful. So...a weekend with some movies, a BFF and some popcorn and it is just a perfect time. Rosie O'Donnell has always struck me as the type of person you could ask to do something like that and she would say yes. You have it as well. It is a good quality. 🤗

A lot of this movie was designed as basically a magic show with then-cutting edge special effects, and the big jaw-dropper was the change from black and white to color. This wasn't the first movie to feature both, but the change occurring within a single shot blew people's minds and still is perfectly convincing. That early part of the shot with Dorothy opening the door isn't Judy Garland but another girl wearing a copy of her dress that was actually black and white, and then she backs out of the shot for Judy to come in. Unfortunately, one effect that didn't work out so well is the Witch's disappearance in a fireball at the end of her first scene. It was the first take and more of a proof of concept for the effect, so they weren't especially worried about hiding the trapdoor she disappears down. But Margaret Hamilton suffered burns on her arms from the pyrotechnics and understandably refused to do it again, so they were forced to put that shot in the finished film.

This movie was such a big deal that people were still referencing it in movies *regularly* in the '80s. They used to air this annually on one of the broadcast TV networks, before everyone had cable, and I remember taping it off TV on VHS as a kindergartner circa '85. If you go back and re-watch Spaceballs, you may discover that Mel Brooks referenced it in more scenes than you thought! The film was based on a series of books by L Frank Baum, but in the books Oz is a real place that Dorothy goes back to multiple times in her life, and a lot of the travels and events of the first book are omitted for time. (Thus creating the Glinda loophole: the Good Witches of the North and South were originally two separate people, and Dorothy doesn't meet Glinda of the South, who knows how the shoes work, until the end of the book. The Good Witch of the North wasn't named in the first book, but Locasta and Addaperle are two of the names she's been given over the years by different creators.) As far as other works adapted from the books: in addition to Return to Oz, which I have not seen personally but which traumatized *many* others of my age, you might someday want to check out The Wiz. The Wiz is a pair of adaptations (first a Broadway play, then a film) both made in the '70s with all-Black casts. The Wiz (play) is from what I understand a reasonably faithful musical adaptation of the book (moreso than *this* film) but with Black characters. The Wiz (film) changed the story up even more than this film, so that they could cast the very-not-a-teenager Diana Ross as Dorothy, turning her into a shy Harlem kindergarten teacher and turning Oz into a dark urban fantasy New York. The film... drags in a few places... but I absolutely loved the sheer creative terror of the visuals, which are straight out of a kid's nightmares, and the music (almost all of it retained from the play) was fantastic all-around. Mabel King's performance as Wicked Witch of the West is to die for; her "I want" song is up there with Ursula's "Poor Unfortunate Souls" from The Little Mermaid a decade and change later.

My mom made sure we got to see it, but the Wicked Witch of The West used to scare the hell out of me, especially when she was on the roof of the house, and then with her flying monkeys. Shudder. As I aged I got over it, but still enjoyed it a lot. Now you can watch "TWOO" with Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" as the backing track, and it works very well.

We were living in the center of the city, probably about 5 miles north of where it hit. It ripped the roofs off of a couple of stores and restaurants we used to go to. I do remember incredibly strong winds at that time blowing stuff down the street. At about the same time another tornado destroyed a big chunk of a town about 10 miles away to the south, and my Dad decided to drive us all down there a few days later to take a look.

It's also worth noting that the idea of Oz being a dream, and characters in Oz resembling people from the real world, is an invention of this film; in the books, Oz is a very real place.

Also appearing is a singer named Virginia O'Brien. You'll never forget her, her singing style is unique. If you don't find you want to watch it, you can find her in The Marx Brothers The Big Store.

The movie is more faithful to the books but they still include the Ruby Slippers instead of Silver Shoes from the book. It's a perfect blend of being an adaptation of the books and a direct sequel to the 1939 classic. While it bombed at the box office, it's been gaining more of an audience over time. Check it out!

This movie falls into a weird category for me, along with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Mary Poppins. They’re all wonderfully fantastic and feel like they’ve come straight from the imagination of a child…and yet, I’ve only ever mildly like them. I feel bad because I know they’re classics and I feel like they deserve the love they get.

The moments you pointed out, on MadTV they actually did a sketch on the whole ruby slippers could just have brought her home all along and on Family Guy they did brought up on the whole "missing you the most" part (when I saw this movie the first time as a kid even I was like; Really?! You're only gonna miss The Scarecrow the most and not the others?! =P) Originally in the book the slippers where silver, but in the movie they changed it to ruby. I think it was because ruby was more colorful than silver, but I could be wrong. Judy Garland had to wear a corset to make her form more child-like, the only time she didn't have to wear it was when she sang Over The Rainbow song. I don't know If you know this, but there's been a myth that in the forest scene were Dorothy, Scarecrow and Tin Man are on their way and If you looked closesly you could see something on one of the trees & it has been said that there was an actor who hanged himself to death on that tree. But in reality it was actually one of the birds who was just minding its own business on that tree.

all gay kids were sobbing at the end... leaving that fabulous color world for some bleak black and white farm.... we all wanted to be over the rainbow- chose it as our symbol and 'friend of Dorothy' became one of our identifiers.

My favorite all time movie, as a little kid. Even got to see it in the theater a few times, as it would sometimes have a special showing around California. Over the Rainbow was also voted THE greatest song of the 20th century but not one person could name the composer...... so..... anybody.....anybody? ;)

We see such a 1930s/1940s attitude about "standing up to a bully" in this movie. (I think that is the lesson-for-children they are meant to learn.) As long as Dorothy and friends feel intimidated by the Wicked Witch of the West, she seems all-powerful and frightening. Once they actually fight back, the bully just melts away. The same thing happens with the Wizard of Oz. He is all bluster and intimidation, but, once he is exposed as just a man like any other, all problems disappear.

Dunno if it’s popular enough to win any polls, but if you want a fun watch for yourself “The Wiz” is a movie version of a musical made using the same story as Wizard Of Oz but with Motown inspired music. Movie stars a young Diana Ross and Michael Jackson and is a fun watch.

The deleted Scarecrow dance was first seen in the compilation film, *That's Dancing!* (1985). It has since been included as an extra on some home video releases of *The Wizard of Oz* (1939).

A year before *The Wizard of Oz* was made in 1939, Frank Morgan (the Wizard) and Ray Bolger (the Scarecrow) appeared together (though without sharing any scenes) in the Technicolor musical *Sweethearts* (1938), a Victor Herbert operetta starring Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald.

This is my favorite movie & l still love it. I watched it every year(1960s/70s) on reg tv. Now l watch it on TCM or put my DVD on & watch it with my nephew. W. C. Fields was offered the part of the Professor & Wizard. Fields refused & said it was to small a part. Frank Morgan took the part & ended up playing the Professor, all the guards at the doors, the horse buggy driver, & the wizard. When 1st released, Kids were afraid of the wicked witch of the west. So they cut out a lot of the scenes with Margaret Hamilton playing the witch. Years later there was a fire where the studio kept the deleted scenes. All are lost. Sure wish we could see what was taken out. The wicked witch is my favorite. Margaret Hamilton played the best witch of all time in a movie! I also love Judy Garland in any movie she plays in. There is also a made for tv movie starring John Ritter(with Annette O'Toole) about Frank Baum life & how he created the wizard of oz called, "The dreamer of Oz." It's a very good & interesting movie. So glad you liked it.

I do recommend watching Return To Oz, now, if you haven’t seen that one. It’s very different from this movie, but also very good. It uses more of the book author’s story and characters than this one does. It adapts two other books in L. Frank Baum’s OZ series.
