The first thing inspired by the book was a musical that premiered in Chicago in 1902 and soon went to Broadway and played for most of the first decade of the 20th century.

Frank Baum himself, comic strips, and movies starting with an adaptation of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" in 1910, as well as three different radio serials, all before the MGM movie of 1939.

It blows my mind that WW2 started in 1939 when this movie was released! This movie must have provided an escape, a comfort for people who were suffering through this terrible global conflict.
365 movies were released in 1939. Two of them, _The Women_ and _The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,_ were released on the very day the War started. Of course, the U.S.A. didn't get involved in the War until 1941.
It actually flopped during the initial run as people didn’t get to see it, especially internationally. It did ok numbers in the U.S. but enough to recoup the amount that was spent to make it. It only started profiting through post-war re-releases and then being a marquee TV film showing.
@@dc8rdecoded It didn't flop. It was a massive success with loads of merchandise, its songs being played on the radio and in dance halls, and its stars, especially Judy Garland, much in demand. It's just that it had cost so much to make and promote that it only just broke even at the box office. It made a profit when it was re-released in the 40's by public demand.

So happy I was able to see the real Ruby Slippers & Wicked Witch of The West hat up close last week !!! Still in amazing condition even after 85 years 😍
Glinda is looking at her explaining that story like “girl, if you only knew the walk im about to send you on in these heels. Bet you didn’t know there’s a bullet train you little plot inconvenience.”
@@barbarjinks8170 LMHO Why do people always say, "Google it" instead of posting a link to what they've found? Baum established Oz as an uncivilized (which is to say, non-technological) country. So no, there were no trains. A later Oz author spoke of the creation of a magical tram, but that was years and years after Dorothy's first journey to Oz.
Back in the 70s, my mother told me that little person in our congregation at Grace Lutheran Church in Broomall PA, had been in the Wizard of Oz. I believe it was Meinhardt Raabe, the coroner. He was a quiet but very nice man!
The green in their costumes indicates officials from the emerald city! I just realized that. I didn’t want to, but I went to see Wicked yesterday. I have to admit it was much better than the stage version in LA, and a fabulous three hours at the movies. (I do like the book,) Both lead performances are outstanding. “Defying Gravity” blew me away!
"Wicked" is not connected to this movie. The Munchkins have been prisoners in their country ever since the Wicked Witch of the East took charge, so nobody could have been to the Emerald City.
The production values of this film are incredibly high. Only MGM had the resources to make this film. They had the crème de la creme of every type of talent to make a movie of this caliber. This is why this film endures. Every star aligned to make a masterpiece in every sense of the word.
On Instagram, there have been a series of clips about AI reimagining Disney films to look like classic technicolor films. Just be glad that for this film, it really was done and spectacularly. The Emerald City sequence is magic that could never be replicated. It's absolutely perfect.
You must as dull as a chicken. It is KNOWN this was made in 1939. That's the IT year. How else could you think this was made much later? I've known this since I was a young kid especially when they did the anniversary editions.
@@wermrights Simple, wasn't it? 🙂 Thanks. I never watched that show. I only saw the episode that Teri Hatcher was in, and didn't pay attention to anything else.
I haven't seen this movie since I was like 12 and I'm 46 now, I still remember the words to these songs by heart. It's a testament to good song writing.
I am the coroner of Munchkin Land. The brim of my hat is rolled up in similar fashion to the scroll death certificate I issued regarding the demise of the Wicked Witch of the East. In my position as coroner, I make quite a comfortable salary as there are a great many murders here in Munchkin Land. Thank you very much.
The real Wicked witch is Glinda for making Dorothy skip to Emerald City in high heels when she knew full well there was a train service running directly there.
I did a primary school stage play based on this and I was one of the three Munchkins who where the Lollipop Guild. I had to give Dorothy the lollipop and I remember seeing my family on the end row of the room waving at me but I had to keep in character 😅
I did it in the 5th grade back in 1994, and my brother was one of the members of the lollipop guild. I played the mayor. Both my brother and I were two of the shortest guys in our class haha

@@RavenStarMedia It's an adaptation of an adaptation of "The Wizard of Oz." "Wicked" is not an adaptation of "The Wizard of Oz." It is its own story purporting to take place before the events of that story. Bastinda is certainly closer to the Wicked Witch of the West than "Elphaba" is.
Glinda was a dubious character She utilized Dorothy to take out 2 witches and a fake wizard She also did not tell her that she could go home Anytime she wanted!
Look what we could create with so much less technology, and so much more hard work and talent. Wicked was forgotten in two seconds. This movie will be forever treasured and remembered by countless generations.

@@charliefunboy5210 She didn't need to go to the hospital; the studio doctor salved and bandaged her face and hand, then she was able to recover at home.

@ Yes but Even in the books Elphaba arrives after Dorothy and bonds with Glinda and then she tells her she gave away the slippers and that’s when Elphie gets mad and they never reconcile but how did this scene go down in the books?

Did Everyone watched Wicked?
من این فیلم راخیل دوست دارم ولی جالب اینجای که عموحنری وخاله ام دوروتی بودن اماپدرومادردوروتی چرانبودن توفیلم
Who else got a new perspective on the wicked witch of the west? Her sister gets unalived and her slippers are stolen. She has some right to get upset.
"Wicked" is not connected to this movie. She wasted no tears on her twin, and the shoes were never hers. Would you give the One Ring to Sauron?
Wicked is not canon to the original story
@@jucamovi1992 Correct!
TCM posting this after Harris's loss was not an accident .😗😗😗
This acting is...not good.
Are you a famous actor?
