They made a skit on MadTV once that had Dorothy losing her temper with the Good Witch of the North once she finds out she could’ve gone home from the beginning. When she’s told she only had to click her heals together and say “There’s no place like home”, she snaps, “It had better be more complicated than that, or I’m gonna go ballistic!”
That one was hilarious, they also did another Oz skit that I don't know could not be made today.
It's on RUclips! Just search MadTV wizard of oz ending
I remember that lol
Love that skit
aw man, memory unlocked! I LOVED MadTV too lol. to me, they were funnier than SNL and I'd watch it with my mom and late dad. good memories
We’re all friends of Dorothy here, and I am here and living for it!!
27:16 The horses in Oz were colored by powdered jello. They had to film it very quickly because the horses kept licking it off.
Literally the only time someone was treated humanely on this set 😂
@@brockbuster Wellll, except gelatin is occasionally made from horses, soooo... 😬
omg really😍 thats crazy
@@lunacouer I mean... So long as they enjoyed it?
The savageness of Glinda asking “Are you a good witch or a bad witch”, then saying “Only bad witches are ugly.” Girl, if you had to ask… 😆
😮😮😮😮 🤭🤭🤭🤭
was it literally her just not being able to decide whether or not Dorothy was ugly? O__O lmao wtf
@@HelloXrancidkittehthat’s shade right there.
@@HelloXrancidkitteh I recently asked this at work. A co-worker thinks that Glinda thought that Dorothy looked plain - not ugly or beautiful. It's understandable given that Dorothy is supposed to be wearing something appropriate for hanging out on a farm and isn't wearing a fancy gown....but I still don't see how anyone could deny that Dorothy Gail/Judy Garland did indeed look beautiful (in this movie and in life).
Fun Fact: All of the flowers in Munchkin Land are flowers that can actually be found in Kansas, only they have all been slightly exaggerated. The set designer wanted it to seem a familiar but also distorted version of what Dorothy was used to seeing.
We do stan Margaret Hamilton. She was the only person who tried to stand up for Judy Garland on that set.
And she was amazing as the Wicked Witch.
I saw an interview with one of the Munchkins who said that Margaret was the sweetest person on set. When she wasn't in makeup she often spent time with them and made a point to gift each of them with an autographed photo.
Plus she was a teacher so it makes sense why she was rather protective of Judy
Poppies are the source for opium and it’s related drug derivatives, so that is the reference to why the field of poppies would put the living beings ( Dorothy, Toto & Lion) to sleep.
Old lady me remembers how we kids would religiously read the TV Guide starting in September to make sure we knew exactly when certain shows would be broadcast. The Charlie Brown holiday specials, Rankin Bass Christmas offerings and The Wizard of Oz were the top things we'd look for because they were shown once a year and if you missed them - too bad until next year. Then we'd make certain to have our snacks, our drinks and blankets ready to settle in and watch when showtime began. To this day, these shows remain very special to me, even with the ability to watch them at will with streaming options and, on occasion, I make a day of queuing up these old favorites, with snacks, drinks and a blanket, while I spend the day on the sofa reliving the joy and wonder they inspired...
That sounds so lovely and special 🤗 We still watch the Charlie Brown specials every year-we love them so much!!!
yes😍
Old lady you? U could be between 40-80 but thanks for the memory for sure 😍
@@PettyPumpkinsThe other Peanuts specials are good, too. Give them a try.
There's even a summer camp one in which Peppermint Patty and Marcy meet the Little Red-headed Girl; and a Super Bowl one that features Linus prominently as Charlie Brown's wingman (kinda).
But, yeah, The Great (Petty) Pumpkin Halloween special is hard to beat
When I was a kid, 50's, this movie was only broadcast once a year around Easter time.
Professor Marvel purposely made up the story of Aunt Em being sick so that Dorothy would get worried and head back home instead of running away.
Him saying “but I thought you were coming with me” was just him trying to not make it obvious that he manipulated her into turning around and going home. 😊 He was a nice man looking out for the well-being of a kid.
The tornado in the beginning genuinely is frightening even today; the effects in this movie are so well done, it's incredible
10:59 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.
There were so many things that scared me in this movie when I was a kid , the fact that she was trying to get the dog killed in the beginning, the witches feet curling up, the monkeys faces, the witch locking Dorothy in that room and said she had until the sand ran out 😭 had me stresssingggg when I was 9, the only thing that brought me ease in this movie was when they actually made it to Oz and were getting pampered. 😂
I was the same with the wiz😂
Growing up none of my friends understood my love for this movie 😭 They thought I was weird for liking older movies like this but I didn’t care 💀 I was so obsessed to the point where I dressed up as Dorothy, the wicked witch and the scarecrow for Halloween back to back
I went as the Wicked Witch for years then as adult I would wear the same costume when handing out candy. The kids loved it but the parents even more so. Even though she is the villain, i was/am in awe of her as a character and she really created the modern archetype of "The Witch"
In the book, the Emerald City isn't really green but they lock green-tinted glasses to your heads before you enter (to "protect your eyes from the brightness").
I really want to read the books! Can anyone recommend where to start and with what title ?? Aren’t there many original OZ books ??
@@care_hopexo You could just start with _The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,_ the basis for the movie. It's very different and quite trippy. _The Marvelous Land of Oz_ also is very interesting. I was going through them in order. I have to get back to them at some point. There are 14 by Baum, I think, and then some from other authorized authors.
@@HuntingViolets I think there are about 25 more non-L. Frank Baum Oz books from the original publisher after Baum's death, most by Ruth Plumly Thompson.
@@oliverbrownlow5615 Thanks.
@@oliverbrownlow5615 : No, it was 26 more. 14 by Baum, then: 19 by Ruth Plumly Thompson, 3 by John R. Neill ( who had illustrated the "Oz" books since Book #2 - "The Marvelous Land of Oz," ) 2 by Jack Snow, 1 by Rachel Cosgrove ( listed by her married name in the Wikipedia listing of the "Oz" books, ) and 1 by the mother/daughter team of Eloise Jarvis McGraw and Lauren Lynn McGraw.
Four separate horses were used to create the effect of an animal that changes color from moment to moment; the filmmakers found that multiple color changes on a single horse were too time-consuming. The ASPCA refused to allow the horses to be dyed; instead, technicians tinted them with lemon, cherry, and grape flavored powdered gelatin to create a spectrum of white, yellow, red, and purple. They had to be prevented from licking the colored powder off themselves between takes. This is why the scenes were cast as quickly as possible, as the horses, like any animal, would lick the sweet powder off, but this would discolor the horses, thus making the scenes including the horses very quick.
And the sequins on Dorothy's ruby slippers were made out of gelatin too.
@@pobstrelWHATTTTTT
The fact that Glenda asked her if she was a "good witch or a bad witch" and then asked her if she "brought her broom" with her makes me think she thought Dorothy was ugly since good witches ride around in bubbles and bad witches in brooms. 😂😂😂
@9:48 The funniest bit is when Dorthy sings the "Follow the Yellow Brick Road," and at the point where she stops in the scene is so that she wouldn't crash into the wall backdrop. If you look close enough you can see the seam of the stage and wall.
This is probably the only time that I'll watch you react; but, the "It's a hate crime" comment regarding the scarecrow getting torn up in the haunted forest, had me rolling! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was fun to rewatch with yall. Such a classic film. I still think the witch was so incredible that she didn't get enough screentime lol jk I guess she was in there enough 😅❤ loved that actress, her wicked laugh was spot on. The lion had me dying laughing as a kid.
It's said that when she opened that door the audiences in the theaters gasped! Love you reactions, guys! I remember seeing it in 1963 on TV for the first time and I was 11. I ran out of the room when the flying monkeys appeared. I still het kidded for that and I'm now 68...LOL!
Do you know what is the BIG LESSON of this movie? (You have to stand-up to a bully.)
People are surprised when all that was needed to deal with the witch was to throw water on her. It's so easy. (That's the point.) When you actually stand-up to a bully, they melt away.
It happens when they first meet the Lion. He's all bluster. Dorothy smacks him and calls him a coward. And his true character is revealed. It happens when they meet the Wizard. He's all smoke and mirrors and intimidation. Bullies intimidate. "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain." (He's only a person, just like you.) Stand-up to bullies. That's how you WIN.
The larger point is self-reliance. Stand-up for yourself. And everything you need is already within yourself. You have the ability to think (brains). You have empathy and compassion for others (heart). And you are brave (courage). You are not lacking anything one needs to be a good and successful person. Now go out into the world and stand-up for what you know to be right! These are excellent lessons to teach a child. (Or anyone dealing with a challenge.)
Also Margaret Hamilton went on Mr Rogers to explain she was acting while being the Wicked Witch. She was a school teacher for a while in real life and it upset her kids would be scared of her. It is wholesome overload with the two of them talking.
As a young boy I went to see this, by myself, at a Saturday Matinee when they brought it back to theaters. After they switched to color and the Wicked Witch of the West showed up, I broke and ran home. lol
One of the best parts of growing up Gen X was watching this movie EVERY year on TV. It was always on a Friday night and it was a national event. The following Monday at school all the kids would ask each other "Did you watch The Wizard of Oz??"
After Dorothy slapped the lion she laughed but she hid it by covering her face with Toto
A really great Judy Garland film is Meet Me in St. Louis. She could do it all, sing, dance, act, she could be very funny and then serious. Thing is she was overworked and set on a path of self destruction by her bosses at MGM from a very young age. She was only 47 when she died, tragically early.
First saw this when I was about 5 years old, and I'm 64 now. Watching it when I was that young the Wicked Witch didn't scare me, and neither did the flying monkeys. The tornado, however, terrified me, and I still feel the effects to this day.
It's a breathtaking effect. Really captures the awe and terror of a tornado bearing down on you.
On the one hand, this movie is so nostalgic, but I can’t help but feel sad watching it. With how HORRIBLY MGM treated Judy…it’s so heartbreaking.
Also, Margaret Hamilton (The Wicked Witch), GETTING BURNED AND HER MAKEUP MELTING on that elevator she descended on in MunchkinLand…the safety practices back then were SOOO BAD.
And Tin Man’s makeup was extremely toxic
Wasn’t the lion costume made out of a real lion?
Margaret Hamilton was actually a kindergarten teacher in real life. Not too long ago they found a copy of the most coveted lost Sesame street episode. It was special because she appeared on it and even appeared as the wicked witch at a point. It was hidden for decades because they were afraid it would be too scary and never rebroadcast or made available to stream when they made old Sesame street episodes streamable
The film was given a fresh restoration and artificial 3D treatment for its 75th anniversary theatrical release in 2014. The 3D tweak was totally unnecessary, but at least was done respectfully and wasn't overly obtrusive. (The restoration itself was stunning.) At the AMC theater where I saw it, there were NO TRAILERS or other ads shown before the film. At the scheduled movie time, the house lights went down and the MGM lion and title music came on immediately. Instant goosebumps!
The wicked witch of the west is insanely iconic
No matter how many times I watch this film I always find something new.
Dorothy: How do I get back to Kansas?
Glinda: Um, maybe ask the Wizard?
(entire movie later)
Dorothy: I can't get back home now
Glinda: Duh bitch, didn't you know your shoes could take you the whole time??
This was such a joy watching along with you guys! To think "Over the Rainbow" was nearly cut from the film and the producers had to fight to keep it in. I wish "The Jitterbug" sequence had been retained as well. It's a terrific number and the behind-the-scenes footage looks like it would have been great fun. It cost a fortune to make only to wind up deleted and lost.
Indeed. Arthur Freed went up to the front office and said, "The song stays or I walk." The song stayed, and of course it became a timeless classic!
Buddy Edson was originally the Tin Man but got sick from aluminum poisoning from the makeup. They reformulated the makeup before recasting. Margaret Hamilton was burned badly trying to exit Munchkin Land when the elevator lowering her wasn’t fast enough when the flames engulfed her.
Glenda: "Are you a good witch or a bad witch?" Soon after, also Glenda: "Only bad witches are ugly." Hence, Glenda thinks Dorothy is ugly enough to be a bad witch, so much so that she asked twice. That has always killed me LOL Fun to watch you watch!
And I thought the Wicked Witch was wicked.
If ya'll want another icon, then watch "Some Like It Hot" ^^ its funny as well as iconic
Seconded
My gosh, how multilayered the sadness of Judy Garland's Dorothy. Every time I see her performance I am touched, as if it were the first time I was watching it. Timeless. Also, omg Technicolor! It was used for just a short period of time--1939 to 1950 or so--but it creates an otherworldly but hyper-tactile impression. Thank you for watching this melancholy and sometimes terrifying classic!
Toto got paid more than the Munchkins! The dog got paid $125 a week and the Munchkins got paid $50-100 per week 😭 it’s like $2200 a week today which is honestly pretty good!
Ain't that a commentary on human worth
Toto hot paid nothing and had no idea she was in a movie - she probably got some cheese and head pats - her owner got bank though.
Now Toto is buried under a freeway in Ventura.
Now, you have to watch THE WIZ featuring Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, and Richard Pryor. It has a few aspects of horror to some lol😊
I remember seeing it as a kindergartener, and the subway scene… I had nightmares for WEEKS, couldn’t be in parking garages for a year…. Yeah, I remember vividly rehashing all the trauma again years later as an adult and just… unlocking that scene from repression…
The actors in the stage preform....which can be seen online. Sing the songs in The WIZ way better 🎉 . The movie in hindsight is really only to see the celebrities.
The WIZ is just the ghetto version of the Wizard of Oz, it’s really not worth seeing, it sucks!
@@daphnemaxwell149 what makes it ghetto? Both families are struggling and Dorthy makes her way through an unfamiliar land/dimension/dream… is it their black skin that makes ghetto? Just asking.
right😍 I said that and its better the wizard of oz is good but the wiz is better I have the dvd and im proud of it.
Wes: I could take these punks
Chey: Even with their spears?
Wes: yeah *nods*
😂😂😂
5:21 Terry (who was female) the dog was paid $125 a week
omg😭 really did not know was a girl
What’s the dog gonna do with $125!?
Less than five minutes in and I'm already in tears with Judy's voice. You are right... She IS Hollywood royalty!
Thanks gentlemen, rewatching this childhood classic has me sentimental.☺️💚
Legitimately one of the greatest films of all time! And it’ll be 90 this Decade!
Movie is based on a book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written in 1900. In the book, Dorothy, who is 8-10 years old (instead of 16 yo Judy playing her as a 14 yo) actually goes to Oz - it is a real place. MGM felt audiences couldn't accept this idea.
The author, L. Frank Baum, wrote 13 more sequels, and other writers were authorized to continue after his death. There have since been many variations on the Oz concept, some more faithful than others. When I was growing up, the very first book I ever read was the third, Ozma of Oz. In 1985, Disney combined the second, Land of Oz, and Ozma into Return to Oz (also one of my favorite). It was not a musical and Disney had to steer clear of the MGM film, but Return is VERY faithful to the darker vision of the books. (Most people were turned off to this movie but has gained a cult following, being considered a sort of love letter to Oz.)
The books ARE dark - although Baum was constantly besieged by young readers begging for more Oz. In Wizard, the witch sends a pack of wolves to take out the four and the tin woodsman has to use his axe to chop off the head of each. Then she sends a flock of crows to peck out their eyes, and the scarecrow has to wring the neck of each.
Movie has been described as the ultimate "chick" flick, two women fighting to the death over a pair of shoes.
In the early days c. Stonewall, someone would hint to another "I think he is a friend of Dorothy" as code, if you get my drift.
The books are all in the public domain and available on line, with their original illustrations, which show what Baum had in mind. You can also just type the name of the character into Wiki and it will quickly show you the illustrations.
The "oil" for the tin woodsman was Hershey's chocolate syrup, the same as used for the "blood" in Psycho.
The "crow" that plucked the piece of hay off the scarecrow was Jimmy the Raven, used in many films at the time, including It's a Wonderful Life.
Baum was briefly an editor for a small Midwestern newspaper, where he heard about a house which had been picked up by a tornado, carried about a mile and dropped down with little damage.
He also had heard (a joke) about a farmer who was too poor to feed his horses grass, so he put green eyeglasses on them to fool them when he fed them sawdust. In the first book, Emerald City is not really green. The Wizard required everyone to wear green googles, which were locked on. In the sequels, Emerald City became all green and each of the four "counties" each had their own distinctive color - Munchkinland was ALL blue.
NOT asbestos (which I used to believe) but gypsum, which was cheaper.
They had four different horses - one uncolored, the other three colored with Jello. The horses kept trying to lick it off.
At the time of this movie, just about every high school student had been drilled with geometry, including the Pythagorean theorem, and they would have gotten the joke that the scarecrow gets it COMPLETELY wrong
The screenplay went through so many crazy revisions, including one where Dorothy and the Scarecrow get romantically involved - the vestige of this is in the final line "I think I will miss you most of all."
The original book had FOUR witches. The unnamed witch of the North sent Dorothy to see the Wizard. When he was shown to be a fraud, they traveled to see the Good Witch of the South, Glinda, so it made more sense than Glinda not telling Dorothy about the power of the slippers in the first place. Mad TV did an awesome "alternate ending" spoofing the movie idea:
MadTV - Wizard of Oz (Alternate Ending)
Picture this...1974, only 1 huge console TV, I'm 4 and my older sister insisted on watching this every year. Y'all made me laugh watching what was a traumatizing childhood event 🥹🫶🌈
As a lifelong Kansan I’m happy to see this movie on the channel. somewhere over the rainbow. 🌈 ♥️
The close up of the lollipop guild boy at 14:44 nearly ended me. Creased with laughter.
I used to have nightmares about this movie but I was seated every single time.
Aw! But I love how the seemingly shady “fortune teller” uses his power for good lol. He infuses Dorothy with concern for her aunt, whom he guessed would be devastated by her departure.
@0:31 This movie links up really well with the post-Civil War time.
Kansas, a dust bowl and poor farm life.
Ruby Slippers representing silver a common monetary item.
Yellow Brick Road the road to Washington DC.
Man behind the curtain a representation of the US President.
Scarecrow uninformed voter.
The flying monkeys, the Indians.
Glinda the good witch of the north, Canada.
Witch of the East the hardships of the colonization of the Mississippi river to the East Coast.
Witch of the West the hardships of spreading to the west due to lack of water, hence her death.
I don't remember the Lion and Tin Man.
(It has been 30 years since I've been in 9th grade)
The Poppies, the morphine for soldiers post-Civil War.
Side note. I grew up 35 minutes from L. Frank Baum's birthplace in Chittenango, NY.
I've been wanting to revisit this movie forever. I'm glad it was was with two bright and funny young men.
There have been many great Elphabas with 'Wicked', starting with Idina Menzel and soon to join the rank is Cynthia Enviro.
Rebecca Mader delivered as Zelena, Mila Kunis did as best she could with Theodora (the faults of 'Oz the Great and Powerful' were more script related than special effects, storyline or casting), and of course Mabel King and Mary J. Blige were iconic as Evilene from 'The Wiz'.
But (outside of the book) there has only ever been ONE true Wicked Witch of the West - and that always has been and always will be.....Margaret Hamilton.
"And your little dog too!"
Glinda stood up to WWW -- she kept Dorothy in front of her, though. I was surprised you didn't mention how Margaret Hamilton got injured in that disappearance in smoke when the platform she was on didn't start lowering soon enough for her not to get burnt. The green makeup didn't help either.
“somewhere over the rainbow” will always move me to tears. i have always identified with the message of escapism, coupled with having heard israel kamakawiwo’ole’s beautiful version (he was an amazing man who passed away), it will just always make me cry. if you haven’t heard it already, i 100% recommend it!
This movie is an iconic classic. Your reactions are great. xx
Dorothy was a Queen give her the Oscar. Also the crazy thing is that this was only the FIRST story in the Oz series. There were so many more great books that were written by Frank L Baum. To this day the Oz series are some of the best fantasy books ive ever read and they still stand the test of time!
Y'all should watch Return to Oz from 1985 next. Fun fact, Fairuza Balk plays Dorothy.
Aww what a beautiful movie and what a beautiful duo reacting to it ❤
24:09 Oh boy did she.
In fact it took several takes for her to get it right, because she kept cracking up seeing him in the lion costume.
Finally she got pulled aside, smacked once, and told to get back to work.
She did it again with no problems, and they got the take.
She also had no hard feelings over what happened.
However this movie, the trauma experienced by it and them drugging her ended up in her addiction and death.
There definitely is an underlying sadness to this film😢
Did anyone see that earlier this year the missing/stolen pair of Ruby slippers were returned from the museum in I think Kansas? I remember it being on the news earlier this year
I love the songs in this movie. The actors who played the tin man and the lion were great mimics, but none beat the one who played the scarecrow. And your comments are great
I have this theory. The worst one has to be Glinda. Who sent the tornado and dropped the house coincidentally on the East Witch. Who refused to tell Dorothy she could go right home. Who sent Dorothy to the Wizard of Oz. Who got rid of all three local powerful people in Oz. And finally who sent Dorothy home with a simple cliche.
Glinda got rid of two confirmed Witches, the Wizard and her final competition Dorothy.
Thank you for this reaction! The Wizard of Oz was the first musical I was in, and I had the pleasure to play Professor Marvel and the Wizard himself. Years later, I did the musical again with my nephew; I was the Emerald City Guard, and he was a Munchkin. I remember seeing Return to Oz and Wicked, and I really can’t wait to see the film soon!!! I highly recommend these other Oz films: Oz the Great and Powerful, The Wiz, Dorthy and the Witches of Oz, Muppets Wizard of Oz, Legend of Oz: Dorothy’s Return, Tom and Jerry’s Wizard of Oz, Tom and Jerry’s Return to Oz, and Tin Man.
👧🏼🐺🧠❤️✊🫧🧹🌈🩵💚💖
The dog got paid more then the Little People playing the Munchkins
Lion: I haven't slept in weeks!
Tinman: Then why don't you try counting sheep?
Lion: That doesn't work, I'm afraid of them!
I would love to see y’all do The Wiz as well ❤
right😍 i stated that as well I have the dvd I hold onto it dearly.
Hey loves, now you’ve got to watch The Wiz 😉 🎉❤
Glinda is fake and set it all up. She is truly the most wicked and nothing can change my mind.
Someone that can afford to be a Patreon please request meet me in St. Louis because there is a literally zero long versions of a reaction and it’s almost that time of year. Give them a heads up to be a first and get a new group of followers that don’t realize what they’re missing out on, this channel is awesome.
There should be a support group for those of us who watched Return to Oz by accident as kids and were scarred for life
The oil in Tin Mans oilcan was actually watered down Hershey chocolate syrup. The snow was NOT asbestos but gypsum. The onlybasbestos on set was in the liningnof the Scarecrow costume because he really was lit on fire.
Please please please watch "The Wiz" next🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤ it's an intrical part of black culture and was revolutionary for its time, having a retelling of this beautiful story with an all black cast. It retells this classic story with a different slightly more abstract lens and it has Dianna ross and micheal jackson 2 icons who also greatly affected black culture. I love both versions and would love your commentary on it❤❤❤❤
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.
>The horse pulling the carriage in The Emerald City kept licking off the gelatin powder that turned its coat purple, red and yellow.
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 reading 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 started 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.
>The pyrotechnics used for the Wicked Witch of the West's entries and exits inflicted 2nd degree burns on Margaret Hamilton's face and a 3rd degree burn on her right hand. She understandably refused to not only do any more stunts involving pyrotechnics, but she missed 6 weeks of filming due to hospitalization.
The best graffiti I’ve ever seen is in the DC area on the Capitol Beltway (well at least it used to be there 40 years ago). Looming in the distance is the Mormon Temple which looks like a glowing bright white version of the Emerald City. As you approach, on one of the overpasses written in black paint it says, “SURRENDER DOROTHY.”
It says “surrender trump” now I think
@@MaxP33 No way! Haha
There were three pairs of Ruby slippers made, and I saw one pair at the museum of American history in Washington DC just recently.
I love The Wizard of Oz. I watch it every Fall. I quote the "Uh uh, no way, no how" often. I call my son's name like Em calls Dorothy, which crack my mom and I up every time. It's such a good movie!
I loved your reactions to this classic. I remember as a child seeing it when it first aired on TV in the 1950s; Watching it became an annual tradition for the family.
Indeed, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Lion already had what they were seeking inside them; they just had to recognize it for themselves.
And yes, Miss Gulch was the OG Karen.
Looking at it as an adult, I have one observation about the Wicked Witch of the West--since water was the thing that destroyed her, one has to wonder about her personal hygiene. I mean, really--how could the guards stand to be in her presence for any length of time? According to MsMojo, you could smell her before she came into a room!
Wishing you an excellent day. Judy Garland was indeed the heart of this movie.
Miss Gulch was not a Karen. She was an Almira.
Glinda remarks upon the Wicked Witch's oder after she disappears from Munchkinland, saying, "What a smell of sulpher!"
@@oliverbrownlow5615 True, Miss Gulch's first name was Almira. At the same time, I love the Ms. Mojo Channel's Top 10 list of Karen behavior in movies (Miss Gulch ranked No.1). Thanks for sharing!
Hi I like the reactions I watch all the time. The sassy and comments yall be saying what I be thinking. Chay voice so soothing like cup hot chocolate in winter time & Wes be ready to set people set lol y’all should watch “The Wiz” I think y’all would like it
Love this movie!🤩🍿 Love you both!♥️
32:04 “This is a hate crime.” You mean HAY crime.
I see so many similarities to Snow White, though Dorothy doesn't need a prince to awaken her. She only ever needs to find the strength within herself. I love this story so very much. Love you guys!
Just starting and looking forward to watching with you guys! Yellow brick carpet 😂
U guys HAVE to react to The Wiz.
Love you guys so much!! My comfort channel!!!!
The forest scene cut a song & dance called “The Jitterbug”…
please watch the wiz next🌪💚👠🦁🧠🔮✨
Just noticed u two are wearing cosmo and wanda colors 😂 what a power couple♡
I read Wicked many years ago, and it created quite a grizzly picture of Oz. Then I started seeing billboards of Wicked, showing the green witch. I kept thinking, there's no way they'd make a musical out of that book. Well, it became very popular with tween and teen girls in particular, a lighter and softer adaption. After a showing, the author was offering signed copies of the book, but had to warn parents that getting the book for their 12yo daughters would be child abuse.
21:40 More so in the original story - in the movie I guess he was just made out of tin and somehow came to life and then his heart was forgotten. In the book he was human (or a munchkin, I forget) who fell in love and promised the munchkin girl he fell for he'd build them a house. But the old woman she lived with didn't want her to marry anyone so she paid with Witch of the east to get rid of him, so the witch cursed his axe so that it kept flying off and cutting off a piece of him. Bit by bit he was replaced by tin, till finally his chest was replaced and that was when his heart was forgotten, so now he had no heart to love with so he just thought about work and not about the girl who he'd promised to marry (either she's still waiting to hear news from him, or she figured after 6 months with no word from him that he'd done a bunk or she went to meet him and he wouldn't talk to her). Then he rusted and he could not work and started to think and realised he wanted to love her again.
They did a musical about him as well - The Tinman (might be able to find some songs about it here: ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=the+woodsman+musical)
I watched this movie in the movie theatre 3 days ago. For 85th anniversary
The lady who plays the wicked witch Margaret Hamilton also play the mother of Morticia Addams in two episodes of the original Addams family series ,called romance the name is Mrs frump as that is Morticia maiden name
Thank you Yip Harburg and Harold Arlen.
31:15 I'm trying to avoid the habit of doing that - because I've just found that when you compare the two side by side like that you just end up noticing the little things that makes you really "wait a minute, those two stories don't add up" and then it makes Wicked look lazy and I don't want it to look lazy.
Chiefly, the fact that the Winkies are all green as well, the witch of the west isn't the only on in oz to have green skin.
And then there's the timing of a lot of things - i.e. the tinman saying that he'd been rusted solid for months (wait, wasn't it a year)?
Mostly, as much fun as it was to go 'oh' when you get the references in 'Wicked', I just view them as two seperate stories.
Now it's time to watch Return To Oz just in time for spooky season (it's a nightmare :D)!
Please please please I’m BEGGING that yall watch The Wiz now 😫
What happens if I click my stilettos together? I got arrested. I guess I shouldn't have been lying on back at the time. That reminds me of a quote I've read, " Whenever I want to attract a man's attention I just put a little something behind my ears. My ankles!!!" 🤣😜🤪
Margaret Hamilton, the Wicked Witch, her Seseme Steet episode, #847, was taken off air due to her STILL being too scary for kids! Too many parents complained.😳
You can find the rare episode here on YT. Crazy how you can play an iconic role and 20,30,40 years later you are STILL seen as that role...kinda like Spock and Leonard Nimoy
Hello to dye the horses... and the dog that played Toto made 125/a week but the munchkins made $50. They treated animals better than the munchkins
the making of this movie is insane. the stuff the actors went through was ridiculous. almost as scary as return to oz
