May you React the Many adventures of Winnie the Pooh Please
Planning on reacting to Helluva Boss because if you enjoyed Hazbin Hotel your going to have fun with HB
Or what about The Owl House or Amphibia because of you liked Gravity Falls you’ll love these two
Trivia note: The Wizard himself in the book & his appearance in the movie is based off of 25th President William McKinley (although he was from Ohio & not Kansas).
The Graduate, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting, I would consider them classics.
You should watch 7 brides for 7 brothers
Ah such a classic! Here's a fun fact: Margaret Hamilton (the actress who played the witch) was actually a kindergarten teacher irl. After the film came out, she became concerned that her performance as the witch was scaring a lot of children. So, she eventually made an appearance on an episode of "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood," where she wore the costume without the makeup and explained that acting is a lot like "playing pretend." So sweet!
I still watch that episode on You Tube.
She also appeared on Sesame Street, but the episode was pulled due to parent complaints. It was lost media until relatively recently.
I’m pretty sure there’s not a single person on this planet that doesn’t know this movie. Ever since this movie’s release, there has been many remasters, re-releases, and too many adaptations and parodies to count. Even though everyone keeps trying to replicate this magic, it’s pretty much official no one could ever top this delightful masterpiece.
I know it from the movie Girl, Interrupted
I have seen and enjoyed a number of reactors to this movie, who were seeing it for the first time.
Theres always going to be someone who hasn't seen it but it definetly is the widest reaching film.....probably ever.
Its one of the very few films that I feel should be required to see if you even like movies a little bit. It's impact on the film industry and society as a whole cannot be unstated.
It will live on probably forever since its always being reintroduced to newer generations, parents showing it to their kids etc. The epitome of "Timeless Classic" lol
Its getting close to 100 years old now which is wild to think about.
I read three versions of the book but I saw the movie only a few years ago
im pretty sure its the most well known movie of all time. makes sense since it revolutionized effects and cinema back then.
The fact that this move is 85 years old and it still holds up is a testament to how great it is
When the Witch went down in the trap door with the red smoke, the actress actually got burned from the flame
Yes, but not on the take they actually used in the movie. The stage hands pulled her off the hatch and began dabbing her skin with rubbing alcohol as her makeup included copper, which was poisonous. They didn't want it to touch her exposed skin.
And her double was badly burned on a take of the witch on her broom skywriting.
In the same vein, the first actor to play the tin woodsman, was covered in aluminum powder. He breathed in the powder and almost died. His replacement, the one we see, was made metallic by aluminum powder mixed into something like cold cream.
And the "snow" was asbestos.
@@johnnehrich9601that’s a big yikes all around. 😮😢
The original Tin Man was Buddy Ebsen of "The Beverly Hillbillies".@@johnnehrich9601
Rest In Peace to the entire cast and crew of Wizard of Oz
Yep
It's interesting that the scarecrow, who didn't have a brain, was the one who came up with the smartest ideas, the tin man, who didn't have a heart, was the one who showed the most sensitivity and was the one who cried when Dorothy was locked up in the castle, and the cowardly lion, who didn't have courage, didn't turn away from danger when he had to face it.
Yep, this is built into the book. Remembering that the usual expected method of consumption was the parents reading a chapter each night to the kiddies (as the ad copy of the time would call them), it is likely that few kids missed this point.
MY BUDDY KATIE IS A FAN THAT MOVIE, IN THAT WIZARD OF OZ AND MY BUDDY KATIE HAS TATOO OF THE EMERALD CITY ON HER RIGHT ANKLE THERE SOME GOOD SCENES AND SOME BAD SCENES AND MY SISTER barb AND I REPEAT MY SISTER WILL NOT WATCH THAT MOVIE OTHER WISE MY SISTER GETS BAD DREAMS
I don't think many reactors understand or appreciate the impact this film had on us growing up in the 1950s and '60s. The Wizard of Oz aired once a year on television, and its broadcasts were heavily advertised such that watching it was an event comparable to watching the Super Bowl today. This is genuine example of true Americana much beloved by everyone who has seen it.
This film truly stands the test of time. Judy Garland was a perfect Dorothy. Her singing is and was throughout her career iconic. The special effects used were way ahead of it's time! "The Wizard of Oz" remains a classic!
There were witches for every direction in the original novel. The Witch of the North is encountered first right after the house lands, and Glinda is the Witch of the South and only appears right at the end to get Dorothy home after the balloon flies away without her.
Somewhere along the line it was decided that introducing a new witch right at the end was unnecessary, so the two were conflated into the one here.
Also, something I always like to mention on reactions to this (call it my 'Viggo's toe'!) - the voice that sings 'wherefore art thou Romeo?' is the voice of Disney's Snow White, Adriana Caselotti.
And generations ever since, hearing the line sung as 'wherefore art thou, Romeo' (with a comma), mis-learned that 'wherefore' meant 'where' and not 'why'. Occasionally you will see a high school or community production in which the line is sung correctly.
In a TV interview later in her career, Judy Garland recalled whenever she would do the dance on the Yellow Brick Road with the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, she initially struggled to keep up with them, and because they were dancing with their arms linked together it looked like she was shut out. So the director, Victor Fleming, yelled "Hold it! You three dirty hams! Let that little girl in there!"
As far as I’m concerned this is THE greatest film ever made! It’s the most influential, quoted, referenced, well known, watched throughout generations, perfect movie ever!
11:45 “Only bad witches are ugly.” Literally the only quote I can think of when watching The Witches, the Anjelica Houston version, not the Robert zemeckis one. This quote was literal in that movie.
And yet, Glinda still asks whether Dorothy is a bad witch. 😉
15:09 That fire was real, Margaret Hamilton who played Ms. Gulch and the Wicked Witch while recording this scene, she entered the trapdoor too late, she got hit with a 2nd degree burn on her face, and a 3rd degree burn on her hand from the fiery exit.
Hamilton was willing to return to the film after recovering under the condition that NO more fire effects were used for the witch's scenes. That's why you see more red smoke than fire in the later scenes
4:50 To answer your question, Alice in Wonderland came first in 1865 as a book by Lewis Carroll. He was one of the first children's authors who wanted to entertain as well as educate children so they didn't feel lectured to and could have a fun time reading. It was Alice in Wonderland that blew open the door for fun children's fiction and allowed The Wizard of Oz to be published. Also, everyone remembers the "I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!", but "Well my little pretty, I can cause accidents too!" Is just as iconic.😊
He "manipulated the kid" to have her stop running away.
Exactly, manipulation... But for a good cause.
About the horse, NO they did NOT put paint on it. They colored it with Jell-O powder. That way it wasn't toxic for the horse. Lemon, cherry, and grape flavors.
They had a beast of a time getting shots because the horse kept licking it off, hahahaha.
How does someone go their whole life without seeing The Wizard Of Oz at least once?
I thought the same but at the same time, I envy the joy (I hope) of experiencing for the first time. And I'm GLAD he held off until now so he could share the experience with us.
I know it’s beyond impressive
Mention it in the intro! Only have seen parts of it, I remember they played it in school for a period, only played the first 40mins and I don't remember much. This movie is also 85 years old! 37 years before MY PARENTS where born. Also because of the language difference, french being my main language, did not grow up with as many movies in english, very iconic movie but maybe not in another languages society plus the 80 years.
I saw the wizard of oz.
But he _didn't_ go his whole life without seeing it! He's still alive, you know…
Bert Larh, the lion, was a popular comic and comedy singer. If you watch clips of him before he did this, you realise how much of his own act and mannerisms were developed into his wonderful performance.
In the original book, the Land of Oz is a real place far far away. It's not specified where, but when Dorothy uses the slippers, she lands on a field several yards away from her home and she goes running to Auntie Em and Uncle Henry. They made the concept a dream sequence for this film.
Good to know.
"Silver Shoes" in the book, not 'slippers'. Since we're being book-faithful here… :)
About the only thing I remember from the book was there was a rapid river to cross instead of the poppies.
@@libertyresearch-iu4fy also that the Emerald City was not actually emerald; everyone had to wear green-tinted glasses ostensibly to reduce the bright green glare, but it was really so everything would look green thru the green lenses.
The little insect the Witch mentions at 38:45 is the Jitterbug, the basis for an eponymous number that was filmed, then left on the cutting room for the finished film. Only still images and maybe a few seconds of audio now exist.
The complete audio exists, happily, and most high school and community productions nowadays do include The Jitterbug, which gives the whole company a chance to show off their retro dance steps.
"The Jitterbug" sequence cost a fortune to film only for it to be cut. It's unlikely, but I wish the footage would turn up one day.
What I like most in the beginning of the movie…is that the men give us keywords to give us the idea on who is which character
I remember this movie playing specifically around Thanksgiving, before all the Christmas and holiday movies started airing. I'm guessing it was a sort of "in-between" kind of movie.
Fun fact: Margaret Hamilton, the one who played the Wicked Witch of the West, was a kindergarten teacher, and appeared on Sesame Street once. Sadly, the episode was pulled because the parents complained that it was too scary, and she spent the rest of her life trying to explain to the kids that she wasn't like the witch IRL, even going on Mister Roger's! Thankfully, the episode of Sesame Street where she appeared in was found.
Also, fun fact: this was my fourth grade play; I was Dorothy number 5!
In the book, the Wizard's gifts to the travelers were similarly symbolic and allowed their owners to believe the Wizard had helped them. The Scarecrow's head was mostly filled with a mixture of bran and pins and needles ("they show that he is sharp"), the Tin Woodman received a red silk heart stuffed with sawdust that was soldered into his chest, and the Lion drinks a bottle of a liquid - remembering that 'liquid courage' is a term for alcoholic drink. The film version, though not literally faithful, is perfect and has its own charm.
Oz, left to himself, smiled to think of his success in giving the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman and the Lion exactly what they thought they wanted. “How can I help being a humbug,” he said, “when all these people make me do things that everybody knows can’t be done? It was easy to make the Scarecrow and the Lion and the Woodman happy, because they imagined I could do anything. But it will take more than imagination to carry Dorothy back to Kansas, and I’m sure I don’t know how it can be done.”
Those flying monkeys were my introduction to fear and terror when I was about 5 or 6. They scared me sooooo much. This used to be on every Wednesday night before Thanksgiving for years; kept us kids out of mom's way of precooking for turkey day. I think of ribbon candy and wafer mints when I see this now.
Yup, I was also terrified by the flying monkeys. The place where the Wicked Witch of the East's feet roll up under the fallen house also gave me nightmares.
I don't know if many noticed but how funny is it that Scarecrow was ready to face the Witch with a GUN??? XD
Frank Morgan played the wizard, as well as Professor Marvel. the gatekeeper, the driver of the horse of a different color and the wizard's guard.
This is such a great and nostalgic movie when I was younger, Can’t wait to see what you think of it!
And for a not so fun fact, the actor who was initially (emphasis on INITIALLY) set to play the tin man ended up suffering a very bad reaction to the makeup being used at the time for the tin man’s appearance that hospitalized and very nearly KILLED him. Naturally, THAT was enough to convince the crew to use an alternate form of makeup for the actor who replaced the hospitalized actor in the role of the tin man (that thankfully DIDN’T cause a hospitalizing reaction).
In the early 1980s I attended a fundraiser in New York at the Public Theater for PEN, the international writers' organization. The theme was banned books and several celebrities (Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Morgan Freeman...) read from books that have been banned around the world. At the very end Margaret Hamilton (The Wicked Witch of the West) read from The Wizard of Oz. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.
There's a prequel Disney made that's already out called Oz the Great and Powerful if you're interested in that. It wasn’t critically praised, but I thought it was decent with some creative ideas.
I really didn't like it. James Franco as the early wizard seemed nothing like the dithering Frank Morgan of this movie. And the movie revolved around people in Oz knew nothing about fireworks/gunpowder, invented centuries ago, even though they had sewing machines from the 1800's.
Disney did Return to Oz c. 1985, which I simply love, as it was the closest of all the movies related to Oz. Literally the first book I ever read was Ozma of Oz, one of two this movie is based on.
That was an underrated movie
Alice in Wonderland was written in 1865 and The Wizard of Oz was written in 1900 so it may have borrowed the idea of a fairytale like land with characters that resemble "real" people from the "real" land
Toto is a Cairn Terrier, native to the Scottish Highlands. He (technically, she, as the actor, is a girl dog) certainly has that Highlander spirit throughout Dorothy's adventure!
This movie’s a Gem No Franchise needed amazing acting gorgeous costumes, props, and soothing vocals & imagery
Oz was a very real place in the original books. It wasn't even "over the rainbow" but located in some mysterious place in the USA, surrounded by a deadly impassible desert. Making it a dream with characters from her real life was devised for this musical adaptation. They probably got the idea from the earlier silent version, where Dorothy was swept to Oz with some of the farm hands who took on the disguise of a straw man and tin man.
The dream version for the musical helped soften the story somewhat, because the books are actually pretty gruesome fairy tales. The tin man, for example, got that way because a curse was put on him, and he chopped off parts of his real human body bit by bit, until he finally chopped off his head too. Melting witches with water is a consistent phenomenon, and one witch is executed for her crimes by being thrown into a lake.
Each quadrant of Oz was ruled over by a witch until Dorothy arrived. The wicked witches controlled the east and west, and the good witches controlled the north and south. An unimportant deviation, Glinda was the witch of the south, not north. The munchkins were watched over by a different witch. Glinda does not intervene; Dorothy has to travel south (more adventures) after the Wizard's balloon takes off, in order to get help from Glinda.
L. Frank Baum wrote "The Wizard of Oz" in 1900. It started as a series of books before adapted for film in 1939.
Unrelated stories -
Lewis Carroll wrote "Alice in Wonderland " in 1865, followed by " Through the Looking Glass," 1871. The story was conceived in 1862 when Carroll joined a friend on the river in Oxford with (Henry Liddell's three children, one named Alice). The first film adaptation was in 1903,then again in Hollywood 1933, followed by the animated Disney version in 1951.
13:37 those small people dancing is a crisis but red smoke appearing is
Gosh it has to have been 40 years since Ive seen this! What a wonderful memory, fun watching this with you.
Some fun facts
They used jell-o for the color changing horse
In the book, Dorothy’s slippers are silver. They were changed to ruby because they thought the color would show up better for technicolor
The house in the tornado special effect was made by dropping a toy house on the soundstage and then reversing it
Anytime you see shots of Dorothy not facing the camera, that’s Judy’s double, Caren Marsh. Caren did the close ups of the ruby slippers like the first time Glinda the good witch shows them
The Wizard, the two guards, and the horse driver are all played by Frank Morgan
It was a trap door and she suffered from some burns because of that effect. When she was recovering, she said that she would come back only if they did no more fire effects around her. Luckily they agreed to that condition.
My secret, favorite moment of this film that I’ve watched dozens of times is Judy blowing a kiss to the Lullaby League at 13:32.
She must’ve seen herself and her sisters at that age, performing as the Gumm Sisters.
Dorthy's comment to the scarecrow that she thinks she'll miss him most of all comes from a story subplot that was edited out in which Dorothy and he had a little romance.
If you want classics, you might try "Stalag 17." It takes place during World War 2 in a Nazi concentration camp for American officers. The men know that there is a collaborator in their midst who is secretly reporting to the guards. They decided it is one officer who isn't well liked anyway and beat him to a pulp. He isn't the traitor and after being misidentified as the traitor, he resolves to figure out who it really is.
4:56, in the book? No. In this movie? Yes.
When I was a kid in the late 60s/early 70s, before home video, the annual network showing of The Wizard of Oz was an event - every bit as exciting to kids as birthdays or Christmas. It has a huuuge nostalgic value which nails the films message of HOME.
People will be surprised to learn that the movie gained popularity only very recently after It was on syndicated television.
Well, "recently" as in the late 1950's. One of the problems for the movie was when the movie came out, Europe was embroiled in a war, so they lost the overseas market. Back then, there was no way to see the film except in a theater. It was re-released in 1955. Then CBS wanted broadcast Gone With The Wind, but MGM didn't let them. As a sort of consolidation prize, they let them show WoO. It stared appearing once a year, a little before Christmas. When it showed each time, it became a big deal with the entire family gathered around.
12:52 No joke i sang this song after my ex stepmom finally moved out, and then later Brand New Day from The Wiz.
38:29 Scarecrow's got a revolver, he's packing heat.
39:33 Anyone else reminded of Jumanji where the monkeys see this scene in the window of a store so they start looting everything?
49:25 It's been pointed out in another video that Nightmare Before Christmas was a Wizard of Oz kind of thing.
Honestly, the tornado scene scared me a lot more than the Wicked Witch did when I was a little girl. Still kinda does to this day! 😅😂
This movie has the greatest transition in cinematic history along with 2001 and Lawrence of Arabia.
"Brother Bear" has a moment when the aspect ratio changes from 4:3 to 16:9 and the color palette becomes more vivid. In movie theatres, curtains actually opened wider for the wider image at that point. I'm sure that the Disney people were thinking of this film when they did that.
Three Awards winner for best original score music, best original song: Somewhere Over the Rainbow, and best actress: Judy Garland
So this is a classic, but it was also a bit of a death trap to make.
Margaret Hamilton (the wicked witch, who was praised as a very sweet woman despite her very evil depiction) AND her stunt double burned themselves on the very real pyrotechnics. Hamilton burned herself on the trapdoor fireball when leaving Munchkin land, second degree burns on her face and third degree burns on her hands, putting her in hospital for six weeks, she didn't want to sue but returned to work under the condition of not working on any more pyro. Her stunt double, Betty Danko, then got burned when she sat on the smoking pipe during the sky writing scene, the pipe exploded and scarred her leg, 11 days in hospital.
On top of this, Buddy Ebsen (the Tin Man) had to be hospitalized for nine days because his makeup poisoned him, his replacement Jack Haley then got an eye infection from the makeup too, so they changed from Aluminum powder and paste rather than Aluminum dust. Ray Bolger (the Scarecrow) would suffer with sores and scars on his face from his makeup for over a year, and Ben Lahr (the Cowardly Lion) often suffered overheating in the 90lb costume of real lion hide.
Plus, the stuff they used to make snow in the flower fields, good ol' Asbestos! In hindsight many suffered for the art of this movie
To be fair, people didn't know how dangerous asbestos was in the late 30s. It wasn't really until about 20 years later that the effects of asbestos exposure began to be understood.
Yes, there are 4 witches in the books. Two good witches and two wicked witches. Glinda is the good witch of the Sorth.
The Wizard of Oz is my favorite movie! Couldn't wait to watch it every year when it came on tv(1960s/70s)! I just watched it today with my great nephew(6yr old). He loves it to. Introduced him to it when he was 4.
19:30, it is though in the books, Scarecrow at one point willingly allows a talking animal to eat the straw inside him (minus the part in his head) in exchange for being allowed safe passage.
Right on time for this film's 85th Anniversary!
Also, the movie _Wicked,_ which is coming out this Thanksgiving, has got not one, but TWO parts coming out. Part 2 is coming next year. The movies are based off the 2003 hit Broadway musical with music by _The Prince of Egypt_ composer/lyricist Stephen Schwartz.
44:04, remember when Dorothy met him he said his only fear was “a lighted match”. He’s scared of fire.
Don't now anyone noticed but the guy who play oz he plays 5 different characters in the movie.
Sad trivia: Most of the actors who played the munchkins were German and Jewish, who escaped Germany to escape the Nazis.
More trivia: Judy Garland had a hard time pretending to be afraid of Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch because Hamilton was so nice to Garland in real life.
Margaret Hamilton said the hardest scene for her was when Mrs. Gulch threatened to have Toto destroyed because she was such a big animal lover in real life.
Yes, the song was written for the movie. A shame you didn’t react to it. They actually used flavored Jell-O powder to color the horse. And Frank Morgan plays 5 characters in the movie including The Wizard, Professor Marvel, The doorman, the cabbie and the final guard.
😎👍 If it's of interest, the first filmed version of "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland" was released in 1903 and the first filmed version of "The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz" was released in 1910. The former is only eight minutes long and the latter 12 minutes long. The last time I looked, both of them were up on RUclips. They're both fascinating looks into the world of turn the (previous) century film making. 🦁 At the time THIS "Wizard Of Oz" was released, 99.9% of all films coming out of Hollywood were still in black & white, so you can only imagine how dazzled audiences back in 1939 must have been when Dorothy opened that door and everyone got their first glimpse of Munchkin Land. 🌈🥴
*Alice in We Wonderland* had been made as a full-length sound film in 1933, with a cast of stars including Gary Cooper, W.C. Fields, Gary Cooper, Sterling Holloway, Edward Everett Horton, and Charles Ruggles.
15:55 just laughing cause the scene repeats having to quote what we all would say since yall got me into this mess just for falling here.
A masterpiece and all-time classic. This film is a well-known turning point in cinema. Love every moment of this film.
First thing first it just gets me every time when the lion starts singing🤦🏾♂️💀🤣 second TIM!!! Now you gotta watch The Wiz
The song Over The Rainbow is one of the most iconic numbers in a musical and my personal favorite in this movie.
Delicious movie trivia: The "oil" that they used to lube up Tin Man's joints was actually watered down chocolate syrup.
Sweet movie trivia: Jack Haley, the actor who played the Tin Man was the replacement for Buddy Ebsen, who suffered an allergic reaction to the makeup. The voice Jack used for Tin Man was reportedly one he'd use when he'd read good night stories to his daughter, his real voice was gruffer and deeper.
Sad movie trivia: In the scene where Dorothy, Scarecrow and Tin Man meet The Cowardly Lion, you can see Judy bury half of her face in Toto's fur. This is because she found it difficult to keep a straight face when Bert Lahr would start blubbering as the Lion, and the producers would get mad and slap her because of it.
In the poppy field scene when Glinda makes it snow to negate the Wicked Witch's sleeping spell, the "snow" is actually asbestos flakes.
Watching ‘The Wizard of Oz’ during Pride Month? Now that’s genius.
What’s the correlation? 🤔
@@artsysabs If you HAVE to ask that question. But anyway, it’s because Judy Garland has been such an icon. ‘Over The Rainbow’ is an awesome song as well
Mad Tv did several hilarious parodies on this movie 😂😂. The original movie, they used a nylon stocking to make the tornado. This was a once a year family gathering to watch. Great memories ❤
43:01 HERE'S JOHNNY 😂
Fun fact: the poppies were made of asbestos which causes allergies and stuff
15:10 yea the actor that played the wicked witch got badly burnt with that flame when she disappeared
Ouch
When the witch goes in a puff of smoke in she got burnt in real and had to have hospital treatment and time off
Timothee, if you are interested in vintage films, consider the following : "My Man Godfrey," "Good Sam," "The Thin Man" series, "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir," "Imitation of Life," "Penny Serenade, " "The Cowboy and the Lady."
This is my favorite movie! I LOVE Judy Garland! I am so glad you are doing this!!!
10:10 this was all done with practical effects.
The houses interior is painted entirely in the brown colors, and that's Judy's stunt double, also all in brown, down to the face paint.
Then when she opens the door, she steps out of view, then Judy steps in.
I remember seeing a version where the Kansas portion was changed to black and white rather than sepia, so when you get the shot where everything's brown it really stands out and ruins the transition.
@@nudgificator Lazy television production.
23:35 fun fact in the book he looked like a real lion.
19:14, and now you know what Shrek 3 was referencing
By the way, the lion’s costume is made from a real lion pelt 😳
Margret Hamilton got into an accident on the munchkin set. When she came out her platform went down to slow and the fire went up as she came down. Luckily it didn't last long and the fire went above her head but it did burn her hair.
"...some people with no brains do an awful lot of talking..."
Featuring Judy Garland as the voice of Dorothy!
28:18, yeah. They’re not flesh and blood
Wizard of Oz is such a classic and one of my favourites to watch as a child ❤️❤️ I love the story and I love how it starts out as black and white at first than bursts into colour when Dorothy gets to Oz and the characters are so iconic especially Dorothy and the Wicked witch of the west 🧙the costume designs are on point and songs are amazing 🤩 so glad you enjoyed this movie Tim and can’t wait for the next reaction you do 😁😁😉💚🖤🩷
If you think about it the scarecrow was the smart one the whole time
The original book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was written in 1900. In it, Oz is a real place, and a lot scarier than this movie. The author went on to write about a dozen sequels. All these books, with their original illustrations (so you can see how the characters were originally imagined) are in the public domain and can be read free of charge.
The books are inspired quite a lot, sometimes close, sometimes way over the edge. Oz was meant to be an American fairy tale but the author, L. Frank Baum, had a crazy imagination.
Disney purchased the rights to all the sequels, even though MGM still held the rights to the first book. In the 1980's, Disney produced Return to Oz, mostly based on the second and third books, Land of Oz and Ozma of Oz. This was not a musical and was very dark like the books. Many people hated it, particularly if they hadn't read any of the books. Oz fans consider this movie a sort of love letter to Baum's books.
In the book, for instance, the four are attacked by a number of wolves, sent by the witch. The tin woodsman winds up chopping off the head of each. Also a flock of crows, which the scarecrow deals with by twisting the neck of each.
Baum insisted that his goal in writing the Oz books was to rid fairy tales of their dark elements
Other classics could include:- On the Town (1949), Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs (1937), Dumbo (1941), Bambi (1942), The Great Escape (1963), Charade (1963), Roman Holiday (1953), It's a Wonderful Life (1946), Some Like it Hot (1959) and The Odd Couple (1968)
From Kansas, so of course I've been to the Oz museum in Wamego. Boss I have, their ancestor was William Jennings Bryan, the politician who was the basis for the cowardly lion. Great reaction
31:35 now, tin man needs a rust proof aluminum. 37:46 😂 38:58-39:32 my late mom used to get scared 😱 of the flying 🙉 when, she was young. 44:00 scarecrow hates 🔥. 44:16 my favorite line.
In the original Oz books, Oz is actually a land you can get to, unlike the movie where it seems to be just a dream.
As for the horse, they didn't put actual paint on it. They colored it with Jello powder. That way it wasn't toxic for the horse. However, it'd constantly lick the powder off.
This movie is so good! It’s such a classic
Those aren't Jack Haley's aka the Tin Mans vocals on We're Off To See The Wizard. Originally Buddy Ebsen was meant to play the Tin Man but he was nearly unalived by the makeup they used on him and the studio tried to cover it up. Didn't want any bad publicity. They used aluminum dust on his face. It coated his lungs and he had to spend 6 weeks under an oxygen tent. The studio switched to aluminum paste when Jack Haley was hired. They didn't have time to rerecord the We're Off To See The Wizard vocals. Buddy Ebsens rendition of If I Only Had A Heart still survives, you can find it on youtube.
Can’t wait to see Wicked when it comes to theaters
This is one of my favorite films growing up, btw there is another movie and it’s called oz The great and powerful if u haven’t seen that one yet. It’s a prequel kinda, well it’s from oz himself XD
What I appreciate about older stories of another world stories like Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz, Narnia, classic Disney can count, they all had a life they want to escape from because their life is bad. They are all around the time of WW2. When the studios made them, they two wanted the audience to escape reality for an hour, too, so they had to commit to the vision of the sets or the animation. That being said what happened behind the scenes is actually crazy and would never go through today.
A classic musical that should never be forgotten also my top 3 favorite Judy Garland movies are Girl Crazy (1943), The Wizard of Oz (1939) and Meet Me in St Louis (1944) 💕🎥🎶🙏🏻🕊
The snow was asbestos
no it was Gypsum
Yay, The wizard of Oz, i love this movie. Thanks, Timothee, and a happy tuesday to you as well. Take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well.
I spent a lot of years watching this movie as a kid. It was my grandma's favorite movie. So, we watched it a lot when I was visiting with her. But I always laughed seeing Lion just jump dived out the window of the wizard's castle. Lion had a lot of funny lines.
YOU EDITED OUT OVER THE RAINBOW? ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC SONGS IN MOVIE HISTORY? I CAN'T WATCH NOW!!!!!
I've never been so early to a video. this movie is one of my childhood favorites, it's such a classic
As a kid, I was kinda creeped out by this movie. As an adult, I find it charming and entertaining. The Wizard of Oz is one of those classic films that just sticks with you and doesn’t lose its appeal, at least imho.
You likely figured this out, I know it took me a while, but all the people Dorothy met in Oz were the people she knew at the farmhouse in Kansas. Most obviously the woman at the start was the Wicked Witch. The scarecrow was the farmhand named Hunk, who at the start said "If you have brains why don't you use them?" The tinman was the farmhand named Hickory. And the lion was the farmhand named Zeke, who at the start said to "have a little courage" to deal with the woman. And the professor Marvel was the Wizard funnily enough.
