Bert Lahr’s performance is so brilliant that I highly doubt anyone else could’ve played the Lion so well. He’s never scary for a moment, but rather hilarious from the get-go, which is exactly what endears him to children and adults alike. Also at 1:57, you can tell both Judy Garland and Jack Haley are swallowing laughs at him.

People who think Dorothy is just whiny and helpless in this movie should rewatch the way she smacks a lion on the nose for attacking her dog and scolds him for it.
True, and nobody will dispute that Judy was the ideal Dorothy for this movie or that she created a wonderful, lovable portrayal. But the fact is that the Dorothy of the books is a much gutsier individual than MGM's.
There was some trivia I read where Judy Garland kept laughing when the Lion reached for his tail and missed and this scene had to be done over and over. You can see her still suppressing the laugh here!

@@WildWildWest30000 Get the full story before you judge. Director Victor Fleming, a former prizefighter whose nose had once been broken in the ring, was a generally well-regarded person and a devoted father of two little daughters. But when take after take after take had been ruined by Judy's giggle fits, and being up against the clock, Fleming did give her a smack in the chops to get her to take things seriously. Once the take was completed, he took someone aside and told him, "I want you to break my nose again." "Why?" the man asked. "I hated what I did to that little kid," Fleming answered, almost in tears. Judy overheard this, and she sauntered out from behind a tree and said, "I won't break your nose, but I will kiss it." Standing on tiptoes, she did!
Believe it or not,, this part of the movie healed me from my childhood trauma. Especially the part where Dorothy says he,(the lion should be a shame of himself picking on people weaker than he,,, NOTHING BUT A BIG OLD COWARD!!!

The Lion is cowardly, as his name indicates, and that means he is easily frightened. But he is not a coward. A coward wouldn't fight on behalf of his friends as the Lion does. The point of his story is that he already has courage, and as Dr. Who once said, "Courage isn’t just a matter of not being frightened, you know. It’s being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway."
@@MaskedMan66 I'm talking about The Nightmare Before Christmas. From this point, it seemed clear that Jack and Sally would end up together, but then the Mayor interrupted and I was a bit annoyed.
Back in 6th grade, I had a phase where I would often reference lions tigers and bears oh my with other things. I used to think this was Beauty and the Beast because how Dorothy is dressed. But fantasy movies were different in the Golden Age compared to the 90’s. And this was the first Golden Age movie I have seen outside Disney.
@@HollyAndrews-rb4hn And I think that on some level the Lion started to realize that was what it took; not false bravado or actual fearlessness, but just doing what you have to do even if you are scared. It's interesting to note that in the books, the "courage" the Wizard gave him (which was a drink from a square green bottle) was gone by his second appearance (in the third book, "Ozma of Oz"). But he still had the internal courage that he'd always had from the start. 🙂
....throughout the whole movie she is scared to death...but if you came at her. directly..or her friends...or most importantly TOTO...she would not cower or panic she would FIGHT BACK SOMEHOW...that always stayed with me...

This is my favorite movie of all time I was three when I first saw this movie on VHS tape and I know every word to every song and I can recite the whole movie word for word... I can’t believe that as of 2019 this movie is 80 years old... my nana was six years old when this movie came out and 16 years ago was when I first saw this movie (16 years ago I was three years old) Here’s a little fun fact about the movie: many people believe that this movie was the first film to be shot from black and white to technicolor however, Hollywood started technicolor in 1917 and the early 20’s as a whole which was a two-color technicolor process which was a painstakingly long process and very expensive but still dabbled in, though black and white remained primary... then 35 years later they started the three-color technicolor process which included dye-transfer which was still very expensive and time consuming which required bigger cameras to shoot the films... however, using the bigger cameras meant budget was much cheaper and had quicker filming process... in the 50’s Hollywood’s top choice was filming in color though by the 60’s through less of a budgetary choice than artistic choice, there was still a lot of black and white television and films... however, black and white films have never completely diminished, everything now is almost exclusively shots in color, there are still those few black and white films in cinema... many people believe that after 1930 was when Hollywood stopped silent films and started talkies... however, in 1927 Hollywood fully replaced silent films with talkies

Have you seen The Cat Returns, I wonder?
He’s too funny and cute to be scary
True, but Dorothy and the others didn't realize that at first; all they saw was a Lion.
@@MaskedMan66 yeah but this one turned out to be different. A nice, friendly & truly helpless lion. Its not every day u see a lion with no courage.
@@paulmacartney8266 Not as helpless as all that, but yes, nice and friendly. :-3 In the book, he actually helped out a lot, especially when they had to get on his back one at a time so he could leap over a chasm that stood in their way.
@@MaskedMan66 That never happened in the film. There was no river. The group just walked until the reached Emerald city.
@@MaskedMan66 When I say "helpless", I meant unable to help/defend oneself. Even though the lion tried defending himself against his future friends. Lion thought they were intruders, trespassing in his forest.
His crying sounds like his laughing
It's the same with a lot of people; the two are closely related.
Cowardly Lion's laugh and cry is kinda cute 😆
1:36 owww what was that for?
Lions and tigers and bears oh my! just as long as there’s no bla
The least intimidating lion in cinema. ''put 'em up. PUT 'em UP!'' His 'growling' is too much! 😂😂😂
That depends entirely on circumstances.
