The others are Polychrome, Ozga, Capatin Files and Queen Anne.

How do you figure it for "cheap?"

Okay, that's Hank the Donkey, which means the girl in the dress is Betsy Bobbin, and I know that the one dude is the Shaggy Man, but who is everyone else?

I just got the that same set sealed, and wow is it amazing. Second best to my dream find which is The Ultimate Oz. Even in 2006 I wore out my grandparents VHS tape, due to recently failing in love with it back then. I had the DVD (though it was a copy)

17:15: "They already spent so much money, I can't imagine they would shut it down completely." \*looks at WB and Batgirl\* YEAH. THAT WOULD BE PRETTY WEIRD, WOULDN'T IT? I'm still salty, lol.

ЕГО ВЕЛИЧЕСТВО,ЧУЧЕЛО СТРАНЫ ОЗ(1914).

I've always wondered why Dorothy didn't make use of the Magic Belt, which she had brought with her on their quest. In earlier books, it had teleported Dorothy and others between the USA and Oz without any trouble, so if it wasn't powerful enough to raise the Skeezers'island, it should certainly have been able to transport Dorothy and Ozma, and anyone else they chose, off the submerged island onto the surface. Had the Belt somehow lost its power in the intervening years? Or had Baum (and his editors) merely forgotten about it? It would be interesting to know.

"The Patchwork Girl of Oz" was one of the first Oz books I purchased back in 1960, when I was just beginning my collection, and I still remember how much I enjoyed reading it that same night -- it showed so much imagination, so colorful, so... What more can I say? And I enjoyed this video, which enabled me to experience the story again without actually rereading it. I, too, have long wondered at the lapses of continuity mentioned in the video, and I, too, have always wondered why the Wizard couldn't have brought Margolotte and Unk Nunkie back to life earlier in the story and why the second quest was even needed, I can understand the Tin Woodman's issue with the yellow butterfly, but the resolution of the plot seemed a bit to much dea ex machina. The dilemma could easily have been resolved if Baum had merely stipulated that the Wizard actually used the other items that Ojo and his friends had collected during their scavenger hunt around Oz, and Glinda merely provided the means of getting around the lack of the butterfly. As it is, the second quest was for nothing. Even so, the book is excellent, and well worth reading. I'm looking forward to further recaps in this series of videos. (P.S. Why are Glinda and the Wizard the only individuals authorized to practice magic? Why not the Good Witch of the North? That lady was the one who welcomed Dorothy to Oz in the first book, but aside from a few mentions after that, Baum apparently forgot all about her. What a shame!)

This was the first Oz book that I tried to read after devouring "Wizard," I had not been aware before then that that story had given rise to a whole series of books about Oz, and when my parents and I found a copy of this book in a local library, my father, who knew something about the phenomenon, enthusiastically recommended that I take it out and read about all the dreadful creatures that featured in it. I did so, but found it rather hard to understand -- who were all these persons that I didn't know about, such as Ozma, the Shaggy Man, the Sawhorse, etc. What was this Magic Belt that the Nome King was so angry about? And how did the Wizard happen to be back there, after departing in a balloon in the first book? (The next book I read was the wonderful "The Land of Oz," which answered at least some of those questions.) So much for reading books in a series out of sequence! But later, after becoming more familiar with the Oz series, I came to appreciate "Emerald City" and all its fine qualities. But there is one plot point that's always bothered me a little: the final outcome would have seemed more plausible if Baum had "planted" the Forbidden Fountain earlier in the book. And the perfect place for that would have been in the chapter in which Aunt Em and Uncle Henry are taking a walk in the palace gardens and encounter the Cowardly Lion. Perhaps they could also have come upon the Fountain and been about to take a drink from it when Dorothy, who had been visiting Billina, rejoined them and urged them not to, even if she didn't know exactly why its water should be avoided. If Baum had added a few such paragraphs to the chapter, then the solution to the invasion problem in the end would have seemed less rabbit-out-of-the-hat. But I'm sure most readers are'nt worried about such things, so what am I squawking about? Anyway, thank you for a most satisfactory video, and I'm looking forward to watching more of them!

What about Return to Oz?

My grandfather was in that movie

Better than Book 4, but Shaggy Man is a...weird charatcer.....

Worst book in the Oz series. (So far....)

Seems to be the last book people sorta acknowledge. The best book in my opinion. However i don't get why it's called Ozma of Oz. If Ozma barely did anything.

Still don't understand how the wizard ordered for the city to be built and yet King Pastordia was king. I assumed that the palace was there but the city was built around it. Also, shows always add Dorothy as a character which is werid. It's a common thing.

The best book next to Ozma of Oz.

Back in the 60s my mom took me to see a play on Broadway. After, she took me to meet Margaret Hamilton (the wicked witch) who was in the play. Still remember it to this day (Year 2024)

You are preaching to the Oz Choir here! They're so well done. :)

I love oz so much I have all the marvel books

You should see the Little Fox version. It’s almost identical to the book.

1:29 she looks like one of the Campbell kids.....

What a great movie. Thank God the filmmakers Doug Aberle, Will Vinton Walter Murch, et al had the good sense to make The Nome King a mountainous, distorted, rock monster. When The Nome King started to look human, he was a bearded stone gargoyle. (great performance by Nicol Williamson too) Equally awesome was that the Nome King's servants were grotesque Jack O'Lantern faces in walls & gnarly stone gargoyle type rock monsters reaching out.. I had always pictured gnomes as little old men with long beards & pointed caps associated with Vernors ginger ale so I was wary of this film. It's such a relief this film didn't have a bunch of little old bearded men running around. That would've been awful.

I'm so glad youtube recommended this to me! It was really cool to see you guys bringing the gnome king to life!!

Do you know where I could find some documentation about what happened with the film getting split into two? I can't seem to find any versions with the title card "The Witch Queen". Thanks!

I got the book not too long before Christmas and it’s an incredibly detailed history of the play, the actors, the composer, I’m amazed that there wasn’t a whole lot of information on this play before this book came out. The other book that details stage plays, “Oz Before the Rainbow” had scarcely any information in it, so I was surprised just how much Eric was able to fit into this book. It was definitely worth my time and the read being a fan of the Oz series as a whole.

It's so cool to see how you made and killed the Nome King. Return to Oz is one of my favorite movies.

I always wonder why Americans never refer to life then as the depression period's as from 1890 to the 1920's great one . But looking at British culture now we're going through the same business and culture and lifestyle upheaval's now . Life is circular and we never seam to learn .

Eric, you have written a fabulous book! A treasure ttove of info and photos--a must for any lover of Oz and/or American musical theater.

Eric is so accomplished in many things, yet so humble also--it's very refreshing. And, I can recommend All Wound Up!

Your comment about the Scarecrow's suggestion to change Toto being heartless, made me think: Perhaps Baum was having the Scarecrow use pure logic without emotion to show how a brain without a heart doesn't work as well! It is a perfectly logical decision unless you let the emotions of the dog come into play.

If you are open to possible topics, I have always been interested in the fact that Baum made Oz filled with magical creatures but chickens, horses, and dogs are not there. I believe that he did that to show kids that even things we find as mundane can seem magical to others. Horses,and dogs and chickens are all animals children at that time would see daily and they would be quite familiar with them.

This is the first episode of your Oz discussions. I am very impressed by your Oz details, you are as anal as I am about details! I have always thought of Toto as a black terrier but I think Denslow depicted Toto as a Yorkie. Brown head, black body and silky long fur.

This is my favorite movie of all time, anytime I have a bad day I watch this movie. I had a rough childhood and I would pretend I was in Oz just to get through it. These were all my pretend best friends until I was about 10 ❤. I grew up in the 80s and it only came on TV 2 or 3 times a year until vcr came out and I was able to finally record it from tv with commercials😂. I didn’t care,I was 7 or 8 .

Nicely done, Eric! Thanks for sharing.

I have been into Oz for over 50 years and as a cartoonist myself I am amzed how this site has animations I never saw before! I am loving this!

Weird

Thank you for the video! And for your Chanel! As a fan of the franchise, your channel is paradise.

I heard that there was a test of an ox thing with animascope, but I never knew it would of been a full oz tv series.

Hello! thank you for the video! I would like to know if the documentary will have a part 2?

Many years ago, I was working in the camera department at Sears in Alhambra. This older guy came in, checking out the latest cameras. We got into a conversation and, as it turned out, he worked on the tornado scene in the movie. Such a nice guy.

Funny part was Judy was playing a 12 year old when she was 17 years old in real life

Very interesting video! Really enjoyed all the behind-the-scenes tidbits.

im so glad i found this!... just fascinating stuff!, thank you!
