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!”

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

[@scigirl451]

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...

[@PettyPumpkins]

That sounds so lovely and special 🤗 We still watch the Charlie Brown specials every year-we love them so much!!!

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

[@dmmrad54]

When I was a kid, 50's, this movie was only broadcast once a year around Easter time.

[@henninggirl261]

We do stan Margaret Hamilton. She was the only person who tried to stand up for Judy Garland on that set.

[@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090]

And she was amazing as the Wicked Witch.

[@brt5273]

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.

[@amexgirl84]

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.

[@charrid56maclean]

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.

[@Nick_Eats_Fruit]

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.

[@videohistory722]

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.

[@keyromi]

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. 😂

[@Dej24601]

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.

[@pobstrel]

And the sequins on Dorothy's ruby slippers were made out of gelatin too.

[@care_hopexo]

@@pobstrelWHATTTTTT

[@CWazBroadwayBandGeek]

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.

[@jgarofalo8813]

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.

[@evecates2232]

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. 😂😂😂

[@David-hr8mq]

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

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.

[@wfoster-graham6363]

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!

[@1Adam20]

@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.

[@briya7077]

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

[@brt5273]

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"

[@jaysverrisson1536]

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!

Y'all should watch Return to Oz from 1985 next. Fun fact, Fairuza Balk plays Dorothy.

[@tuckerplum8085]

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.

[@tuckerplum8085]

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.)

[@neonoires]

I used to have nightmares about this movie but I was seated every single time.

[@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090]

Legitimately one of the greatest films of all time! And it’ll be 90 this Decade!

[@johnnehrich9601]

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.

[@johnnehrich9601]

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.

[@johnnehrich9601]

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.

[@johnnehrich9601]

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)

[@thruthemotions]

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.

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.

1. If you start playing side one of the album "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd when the MGM lion roars the third time it syncs up with what's happening in the movie until shortly after the color kicks in. 2. Buddy Ebsen was supposed to play the tin man, but he was allergic to the dust they used on his face, so since he was under a lifetime contract with MGM they offered him "The Beverly Hillbillies" and the rest is history. 3. Sadly, Judy Garland died in 1969 from barbiturate overdose.😇 4. GOOF: The Nebraska State Fair has always been in Lincoln, not Omaha. (Nebraskan here) 5. In 1979 they made "The Wiz" featuring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson among others. 6. If you want to know about the hanging body the story is in IMDB trivia. It's reliable. 7. Speaking of Pink Floyd and this movie before the times, but how much acid was used to come up with this?

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.

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.

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.

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!"

[@wfoster-graham6363]

@@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!

After seeing that scene at the very end again where she says she will never leave them. How much did going to OZ really mess her up? Will she actually never leave the farm?

[@philipholder5600]

I watch it numerous times a year.

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!

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. 👧🏼🐺🧠❤️✊🫧🧹🌈🩵💚💖

[@momakesvids5704]

the making of this movie is insane. the stuff the actors went through was ridiculous. almost as scary as return to oz

[@cupofcait]

There should be a support group for those of us who watched Return to Oz by accident as kids and were scarred for life

[@anjealousanaconda9692]

There definitely is an underlying sadness to this film😢

[@gabbytorres6885]

Lmao I had the same feelings as a child with Ms.Gulch.

[@amandathomas2827]

You guys should watch The Wiz

[@frankmahovlich5099]

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!!!" 🤣😜🤪

[@avengersfan949]

I think everyone deserves a dog like Toto.

[@rayscott73]

If only bad witches are ugly then why did Glenda ask Dorothy if she was a good witch or a bad witch? Shouldnt have Glenda just assumed Dorothy was a good witch based on Dorothy‘s appearance?

[@s.wag22]

Just starting and looking forward to watching with you guys! Yellow brick carpet 😂

[@TTM9691]

Best rewatch ever!

32:04 “This is a hate crime.” You mean HAY crime.

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: kzbin.info?search_query=the+woodsman+musical)

[@HuntingViolets]

You can find Ray Bolger (the Scarecrow) in some other old movie musicals (including at least one with Judy Garland.

[@TothanCrawk]

Oooh I'm so here for nostalgic fantasy! I'm all far hearing what people think Auntie Em wanted to call Miss Gulch. Have you both experienced the childhood trauma that is The Neverending Story?

[@mer_acle8101]

Atax you will never be forgotten 😭

Y’all I don’t want to freak you out but I think your shirts are Cosmo and Wanda 😵‍💫
