Notice that at 1:48, there's a tiny clip of Dorothy's triumphant return to the Emerald City after she'd managed to get the witch's broom as demanded by the Wizard. This huge sequence, filled with hundreds of extras, got completely cut from the finished film and this fragment in the preview is the only footage that survives.
Instead of discovering the mysterious, awe-inspiring space child at the end of the psychedelic light-filled journey, we instead see that the culmination of the ordeal is actually a giant paper cup of Sprite.
HE. SOLD. HIS. SOUL.
FOR ROCK AND ROLL!
This is actually titled, "Sprite Space" (1970). You want something really trippy? Play the soundtrack backwards for some surprises! ;)

oh my god.......it's full of stars
WOW, that Wizard of Oz trailer had a bit of the "Triumphal Return to Oz" sequence that got deleted from the film! How come no one's noticed this yet?!
This snipe would have been even better in 3-D. Imagine the popcorn coming right at you!

Seemingly inspired by the famous Slit-scan projector images produced for the 1965 era 2001:A Space Odyssey
2001: a Snack Odyssey
You're high maaaan
Fantastic color!
Nothing nefarious, it just reveals the sources of the sound effects. :)
Watch it to the end. You'll be glad you did.
Whoa, I remember that
Spriiiite
I last saw that Sprite ad on the big screen in 1986. It would have been more impressive in widescreen (then), but it still looked good.
It's in the novel.
Its like going through that tunnel in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory...
Is that Orson Welles reading about the Wizard of Oz?
I'll have one Kubrick dog, and a Stanley fries..er,..um..
i can play the audio backwards wow!!!
Oh my god, it's all worth it to get to 3:40!!
Definitely inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey.
LOL
Geez, this clip makes me dizzy!
"CHAR-acter"? (1:53)
LOL, Kubrick hack.
Mondo Weirdo...
