[@fallout3fan623]

Wow. In 4 minutes 20 seconds, no dialogue, little facial expressions, and few colors in general an animator is able to sum up the wizard of oz better than I could with an hour.

[@chrisholly4817]

Was thinking the same thing dude :)

[@penndavis471]

It helps that the music is so amazing. Also, there is one character with facial expressions, and that's the wizard of Oz

[@idlehour]

Your music, since i first heard Alice so so many years ago. Have gotten me through depression in the past. For that. I truly from the bottom of my heart thank you Pogo.

[@idlehour]

@@PogoMusic It honestly means a lot you responded. Lol. Yeah im better this was in High school. I remeber around when you put out wizard of meh i think. Me and my buddies were amazed that my one friend got a career with music , and he told me your his influence. Your music got me through a lot of sadness due to death of family and friends so close together. But im great now. I cannot express the amount of respect for you i have as an artist and a person. Im sorry for the long reply!

Toto is a clever animal, and can speak. it isn't till much later in the books that even dorothy finds how Toto can speak and isn't just a silly senseless dog, all his actions are purposeful. TL:DR i'm a fucking nerd

Music is the best thing ever to happen to humanity in my opinion. Music unites people, makes you happy when your sad, helps you through rough times, comforts you and so much more... And Pogo, your music does all that. You are a true artist.

[@SuperFlashDriver]

We started with tribal drum music, and now have gotten to the point of EDM and fan producer type of music....

[@CorVids1031]

I think this is my favorite Pogo song in part because of the stunning visuals. This animator was told "an important part of character design is a good silhouette" and then that animator RAN with it.

[@ToastersAreEvil]

I never really knew what depression was, until listening to Pogo today versus 7 years ago. Thank you for helping to heal me, Pogo

The buildup At 0:06 to 0:22 Has To Be The Best Part Of The Song.

[@Anudorini-Talah]

Another nostalgic classic from Pogo

[@ghastlycharms]

Dear pogo, recently I've fell down the hole of your music and it's helped me with so much pain. I'm recovering from a really bad ear infection and all music didn't sound the same. Except yours. I remember the first time I listened to Alice and that would be the start of an obsession. I listened to Wizard of Meh constantly and it made everything better. Thank you for your mesmerizing and other worldly music that has gotten me through bad times. Don't stop doing what you do! :)

[@SammEater]

Hearing a new music from Pogo is like an amazing discovery, I always feel something different for every song he made.

[@wondereyedrive]

All the pogo i could find: 0:44 he pops out as soon as the little creatures duck behind the bush 1:25 the fly that flies out of the scarecrows head is actually a pogo. 1:57 you can spot pogo blend in with the snow. 2:25 you can see a pogo head on 1 of the flying monsters if you look quick enough. 2:54 you can see Pogos head pop out of the fight. 3:05 you can see a little toy of pogo on the shelf in the background. 3:56 a pogo distracts toto to make Dorothy jump out of the balloon. Tell me if i missed one!

[@AlgidAlchemy]

Absolutely love the flute thing like at 3:37

[@AetheriusLamia]

Listening to the audio recordings watching this video here gives me an idea: If Pogo wants a challenge, he could try remixing Buster Keaton.
