I loved The Wizard of Oz (1939) as a kid. I loved the story, the music, the characters, the setting and the colors. A local theatre was playing the movie for a few days in honor of the 85th anniversary. I dove at the chance to watch it on the big screen and to rewatch a favorite from my childhood that I haven’t watched in over 20 years.
1900 - Baum publishes Wizard. 1902 - Wizard is adapted into an immensely popular stage play. 1903 - Baum desperately wants to write a sequel to Wizard, so he starts doing research on Oz, and manages to find a little information: Mombi, Tip, Ozma, sawhorse. He doesn't have enough to write a full story, so he makes up some stuff to fill the ...
The Wizard of Oz is likely to be the oldest color film the majority of people today have seen, for various reasons (films lost, censored, not aged well, etc.), but it’s not particularly likely to have been the first color film most of its audience had seen – no more or less likely than Jesse James would have been. Older audience members ...
The Wizard of Oz. When Kansas farm girl Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) gets swept up in a tornado, she finds herself in the magical Land of Oz wearing a magical pair of ruby slippers and hunted by the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton).

Many people first watched it as small children, and thus it holds a sentimental place for them as they continued to watch it over the years and with their own kids. Remember it’s also 83 years old, and many of the well worn tropes contained in the film also first started with it. 4. Award. JustinScott47.
That explains the size and other peculiar aspects of the representatives of the lollipop guild - they are a literary adaptation of the idea of fairyland. One online source suggests that these specific entities in the film may have been inspired by an early illustration by W.W. Denslow, which shows three munchkin men bowing in greeting to Dorothy.
First and foremost, The Wizard of Oz is one of the most gorgeous looking films ever. Its attention to detail on the characters make-up and their costumes, the set designs, the painted backgrounds, its sepia and technicolor cinematography, and its many special effects make it a trully stunning feast for the eyes.
The Wizard of Oz (1939) is a classic and lots of fun. Review. Recently, I’ve decided to re watch The Wizard of Oz since we’re doing The Wizard of Oz as a show at the community college I go to. I will say this: the movie is a lot better then I remember. I’ve even decided to do some more research about the movie and other stuff related to ...
And the movie left out all the events along their journey that illustrated that the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Lion already had the attributes they were seeking, and I'd certainly love to see a movie that uses the book's action, such as the Tin Woodman killing a pack of wolves with his axe, the Scarecrow breaking the necks of a flock of crows and the Lion fending off the Winkie slaves sent ...
In the now lost full cut shown only to test audiences, there was a number for this moment, which was the last vocal song in the movie and the musical climax. The scene is known as the Triumphal Return to the Emerald City. After the Winkies give Dorothy the broom, they start singing "Hail hail the witch is dead."
