My favorite fact to tell people after reading all the oz books is that toto can absolutely talk while in oz. The only reason he doesn't is because he doesn't have anything to say. So in the book, toto talks one time, explains he can talk and just never talks again.
I’ve read all the Oz books, and am happy to report I knew all of these were real. Neat tidbit: the Wizard kills one of the vegetable people (who has real, actual magic) with a stage trick, and cuts him in half BEFORE realizing he’s a vegetable.
Yeah lmao they also commit mild arson, learn to 'fly' get trapped, hole dude/ribbon dude r from the same book, cos they fall into the centre of the Earth after an earthquake
Don’t forget the glass cat with see-through organs, and the Tiger who really wants to eat you but always asks first and if you say no then he won’t. So now he wants to eat babies since they can’t say no.
I was surprised the Gump wasn’t on there, a sentient being made of two couches and a moose head tied together that flies using big fern leaves for wings. But I guess maybe that was too obvious since it was in the sequel movie.
@@_maximus_prime_ I loved Return to Oz. It kept the weird visual aesthetic of the original book art and made it happen-with practical effects, no less! It’s one of two practical effects movies that I think stand up in a cinema currently devoted to visual effects.
(The other film is the 1940 version of “The Thief of Baghdad”. The effects are marvellous, and the plot is so convoluted that it makes Aladdin look cartoonish in comparison, but so many people in the cast are white Europeans pretending to be Arabian. Sabu as the young thief Abu is a treasure, though, and I love the old device of the movie’s romantic hero not being the actual protagonist of the film. Imagine the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, but Captain Jack actually drives the plot forward rather than being a comedic antagonist/sidekick for Will and Elizabeth, who actually move the plot forward.
I read all of the Oz books by accident when I had a fever one time. I tried to put om am audiobook for the first one and apparently it was all of them. I then spent YEARS recounting the tale of the actual fever dream i had of all these crazy Oz characters until I met someone else who had read them all and she told me "no, I think you just read all the books by mistake"
Best Oz moment is in Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz. The Wizard returns and defends Dorothy from attacking gargoyles by whipping out two revolvers and then a folding sword. Old man really went “So I started blasting!”
@@noahgolan603not only is it real, the wizard also wields a gun against an invisible bear (the bear is invisible because it ate fruit contaminated with invisibility magic)
Fun fact: The translation of The Wizard of Oz into Russian turned out to be so original that it is more of an adaptation than a translation, and a completely different universe emerged from it.
Other characters from the original Oz books: a talking cat made of glass with visible brains and a heart a guy with ten pairs of legs a town of sentient baked goods a town of baloon people a town where everyone was a 3D jigsaw puzzle and spontaneously disassembled themselves when startled a dog-like creature whose entire body was made of rectangles the Tin Woodman's disembodied head from when he was still made of flesh And those are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head at 4:00 in the morning.
@@lemon8577 They did there was a 1980s movie called Return to Oz that based on The Marvelous Land of Oz and Ozma of OZ. I rented it as a kid and it gave me fucking nightmares since i thought that it was going to be like the original movie. The Wizard of Oz is not a happy children's series at all the 1939 movie basically forced into the mold of a 1930s hollywood movie musical to the point where it was barely recognizable from the source material.
No way. Not only would they not do it justice, but there's probably a lot that's in those books (they're so weird plus a product of their times) that producers just wouldn't be able to get away with, especially on Netflix. It would suck as a rendition, tbh.
@@amalgamfrostpink5030 It's a man in oz who is completely covered in bumps in a suit that fits him very poorly from the bumps and in the book it could be said his pictures are rather distressing. He lives on a mountain and listens to the outside world to tell the mountain so it won't rumble, from this the bumpy man sleeps little. People tend to assume him as a metaphor of being riddled with cancer.
Nah he was just using allegory and metaphor to convey the socio-economic state of the Midwest at the time and how poorly the government was treating Midwest farmers and share croppers
I'm reading Ozma right now, and struggling to explain what happens in it to my friends. It's a sort of dream logic- it makes sense in the moment, but if you decontextualize it even slightly it all goes horribly off the rails.
I remember reading the book and hearing the part where the scarecrow snapped the crows necks , and every kid in my class had visible shock on their faces after hearing that
@@tproslayer4753The Wizard of Oz (1939) was always a color film, and the hanged man is a myth. It's a bird borrowed from the Los Angeles zoo just wandering around "to make it more outdoorsy."
Yeah, you'd need to devote a whole song to the Tin Man/Tin Soldier debacle, where the tinsmith just.. makes a guy out of a combination of their flesh remains. And the munchkin woman that both the Tin Man and Tin Soldier were in love with.. falls for the Frankensteinien amalgamation of them both.
Also, according to my diehard oz fan friend, in the local Oz community there is some controversy over which ones he actually penned and which he didn’t.
“A college that’s led by a beetle” Ah yes. Professor Wogglebug, the main ship I’ve seen with him being with Tik-Tok, though the army of Oz is incapable of feelings like that
I read all of them years ago and I remembered most of them, and figured the others two were real cause no one else could come up with anything so weird You still left out some of the weirdest from my memories though, I gotta re-read these books sometime lol
There's some pretty freaky things in the original book too. For example, there's these guys with heads made from hammers and really long necks, and they really hate the lion for some reason
@@srosesarewhite1 And don't forget the part where the Wizard literally gaslights an entire city into believing he's an omnipotent being and forcing them to wear green-tinted goggles to make them think they live in a city of precious jewels
Why don't we have more Oz movies or at least a streaming series? It's always Alice in wonderland that's treated as the weird one but she ain't got nothing on Oz.
My dad used to read the Oz books to me and my siblings when we were younger. I loved sitting in my sisters' room and listening to him read. Personally, I'm a big fan of the sawhorse, Jellia Jamb, and Jack Pumpkinhead. I never liked the hungry tiger, lol
Jack Pumpkinhead is amazing :3 My favorites were always Ojo and Scraps lol I freaking adore the lil cry baby and his crazy friend who is willing to murder butterflies for him XD Also loved Button Bright lol. He was freaking ruthless in The Scarecrow of Oz lmao But yeahhhh The Hungry Tiger was really weird ;v;
The second movie, Return to Oz, is even stranger than the first. Actually disturbing. Starts with Dorthy going to a mental hospital where she gets electroshock therapy..it's not a children's movie.
My mom read these to me when I was younger. I honestly can’t tell how much of my recollection of them is what was in the book or what resulted from the dreams I had after she finished reading for the night

I knew most of them ugly enough but the best one was the rebellion of people tearing off their heads and throwing them all over the college because that was absolute genius.
The nome king died when he was going to eat Jack Pumpkinhead but a chicken was hiding in jacks hollow head and layer an egg in the nome kings mouth before he could eat either the chicken or Jack.
@@trexl8887 That's only in the movie Return to Oz. That has no basis in the books. In the actual story the Scarecrow merely throws one of Billina's eggs directly in the Nome king's face, temporarily blinding him and causing him to scream in horror. Dorothy also uses the Nome king's magic belt to transform several of the Nome soldiers into eggs to prevent the rest from pursuing them. The Nome king does not die at all in the Oz books.
I figured all of them were real because they all seemed like very on brand early fantasy things. I read the John Carter of Mars books when I was younger, and have plenty of experience with some of the weirder classic fantasy stuff like Roger Zelazny's work. I love how absolutely bonkers fantasy used to be.
Actually it was hilariously not. It was treated like the most normal thing--Dorothy and the Witch literally had a conversation while she was melting and her last words were "here I go". You cannot make this stuff up.
Interesting thing about the Wizard of Oz, some people think it was an allegory to the gold standard, which essentially just that each dollar bill had a piece of gold’s name on it at Fort Knox. But at the time (like late 19th century), a lot of people wanted to add silver to the gold standard, thus increasing the money supply. Supposedly things like the emerald city (green, dollars), the yellow brick road (yellow, gold), and the scarecrow (farmers who wanted the silver) were all supposed to be allegorical elements in the whole big thing
My history professor actually mentioned this since we were talking about the farmers unions of the time and the effects it had on the future of American politics. Your points also backed by the fact dorthy is from a farm in Kansas. Also her shoes were originally going to be silver not ruby. Just an interesting time where a lot of people suffered to set up future generations for success
@@michaelmoore2679 to be fair I wasn't saying I knew that for a fact I was just discussing us history and pointing out some similarities that my professor pointed out
@@michaelmoore2679 I will admit I’ve not read the book, so why do you think that? I think that interpretation is supposed to be a fairly serious one, especially if it’s being taught in schools
i remember reading some sort of sequel, goddammit that boy who was actually a girl who also traveled with a bug and was raised by a witch and created a pumpkin person who has the same amount of social skills as i do
I've actually read all of these, they travel through a tube through the earth, vegetable people are real, they travel to other countries? Through a dragon's den, somehow the girl the Tin Man fell in love with the combination of his old body parts, and I don't remember them very well now, but they're pretty lengthy and a good read
Bro theses were my bed stories😭 my mom would read several chapters before I knew how to read! I don't even remember the horrors that took place, I think they traumatized me! Pretty sure that's why the first book I read by myself was a romance manage about crow demons fighting over a human girl since her birth cause she's suppose to give birth to the strongest demon for atleast another 100 years

Supposedly things like the emerald city (green, dollars), the yellow brick road (yellow, gold), and the scarecrow (farmers who wanted the silver) were all supposed to be allegorical elements in the whole big thing
My history professor actually mentioned this since we were talking about the farmers unions of the time and the effects it had on the future of American politics. Your points also backed by the fact dorthy is from a farm in Kansas. Also her shoes were originally going to be silver not ruby. Just an interesting time where a lot of people suffered to set up future generations for success
If you read the book you realize pretty quickly it is nowhere near that deep.
@@michaelmoore2679 to be fair I wasn't saying I knew that for a fact I was just discussing us history and pointing out some similarities that my professor pointed out
@@michaelmoore2679 I will admit I’ve not read the book, so why do you think that? I think that interpretation is supposed to be a fairly serious one, especially if it’s being taught in schools
Never let them know your next move💀
i remember reading some sort of sequel, goddammit that boy who was actually a girl who also traveled with a bug and was raised by a witch and created a pumpkin person who has the same amount of social skills as i do
Dude dropped acid every time he came up with a new character.
you didnt even mention the movie return to oz, which was truthfully nightmare fuel
It wasn't scary it was fun
@@windyhawthorn7387 did you watch it at 5 years old where it felt like it was a horror movie?
@@emmaclouse6352
Younger it was a fun movie. I watched Jurassic Park in theaters and that was scary.
@@windyhawthorn7387 the headless lady and the goblin king is what freaked me out tbh
@@emmaclouse6352nome king? Don't forget the goofy wheelers and the headless dancing statues of one living people
There’s also one literally called “Tik Tok”.
There's a lot of dancing, isn't there?
Tik tok is a member of the oz army and had a wind up gear thing for speech thought and movement that are all meant to last a thousand years
@@trexl8887 I like his lore, too. I’ve read the book he’s from and I wish he were more prominent tbh.
I've actually read all of these, they travel through a tube through the earth, vegetable people are real, they travel to other countries? Through a dragon's den, somehow the girl the Tin Man fell in love with the combination of his old body parts, and I don't remember them very well now, but they're pretty lengthy and a good read
Surprised you didn’t mention the living saw horse
My great aunt was Glenda The Good Witch, in the movie.
I NEED THE LYRICS TO THIS, MY FRIEND IS A WICKED FANATIC
Bro theses were my bed stories😭 my mom would read several chapters before I knew how to read! I don't even remember the horrors that took place, I think they traumatized me!
Pretty sure that's why the first book I read by myself was a romance manage about crow demons fighting over a human girl since her birth cause she's suppose to give birth to the strongest demon for atleast another 100 years
so what you're saying is we coulda had a whole ass cinematic universe.
i should read these books
Still can with the right producers 😅
Wizard of oz. Was REVOLUTIONARY to the film industry. So was star wars.
I literally said to myself "these are all real because the Wizard of Oz is fucking weird and would do all of these" despite knowing jack diddly shit about the Wizard of Oz
I haven't even read the books and I knew all of them were real 😭✋
Fun fact, the Emerald city of oz in the fifth book has a population of 37665.
Or its 32765 and i misremembered
What I'm most concerned with is that there's a TikTok of Oz and it's literally spelled like tiktok
I mean, it fits in perfectly. Absurdist to the max.
The second movie is even stranger.
That is actually terrifying lol
You give off the same energy as the “everything is awesome” guy
AMEN BROTHER, also ngl they all sound like real. dam i didnt see that ending
I was gonna guess Santa 😂😂
as someone with an intense special interest in oz, i really like this
The lasy one was mr woggle bug
"...it's gonna be all of them, isn't it?"
"It's all of them"
"yeah, that figures."
Yes and that is why those books are still awesome
😂 i definitely went "oh those are all in the books for sure"
That last one went from 0 to 100 real quick, then went from 100 to a million even quicker
i did not know Oz books was a thing. thought it was standalone
You have planted a seed in a garden of curiosity.
