Dude how’d the dog make more than real life humans 😂

So Toto was gonna be played by a Man while the Lion was gonna be a real Lion...What a Twist

[dazem]

Someone in the production team suggested the slippers be red because they felt it would look better onscreen since MGM had just acquired technicolor.

[Akira]

The effects for the tornado is quite impressive. That, and the other special effects hold up nicely after 85 years.

[amc]

Glad they didn't cut Over The Rainbow. One of my favorite songs.

[Ranechannel]

That tornado effect was pure genius! It fooled me.

[stolenalt]

We would of had 3 different Dorothy's if the lion was involved.

[ZeoViolet]

Over the Rainbow was almost cut because some higher-ups felt it was demeaning for a girl to be shown singing in a barnyard. Glad they were overruled.

[neu_dae]

the tornado in that movie scared me so bad..

[babylonhasfallen]

The scarecrow was going to played by a real scarecrow but he kept forgetting his lines.

That movie would come on twice a year on TV. Usually around holidays like Christmas & Easter. I remember watching it on a little black & white tv at our house. It was always on a Sunday evening & our parents would let us stay up later than our bedtime to watch it. I never knew that it turned to color when Dorothy's house lands in Oz. The first time I saw it at the movies, I was flabbergasted & so amazed it was in color! The monkeys & the witch were so scary! That movie lived in my head for weeks after seeing it....❤❤❤❤❤

The carriage used in the Emerald City was once used by Abraham Lincoln.

[annaarviso]

In the book Dorothy’s slippers are in fact silver, but directors and producers thought the colour red would stand out more in contrast to the yellow brick road.

[Vortecs.]

For the trillionth time. As Oz historians Jay Scarfone and William Stillman made clear in their book "The Road to Oz, " the snow was crushed gypsum. And seeing as how they have actually read files and requisition forms from the movie, they'd be the ones to know.

[cesco]

Gone With the Wind, also a very good movie.

[anakelly]

They used the ruby slippers to show off because tv went to color.

[Fuzzgeneral]

We all know how that would have ended if they got an actual lion 💀

[OG-GenX]

I took my grandson to see the 75th anniversary of the Wizard of Oz. After the song Somewhere Over the Rainbow, everyone in the movie theater stood up and gave a standing ovation.

[LaBellesGrace]

The snow was actually made of gypsum, according to someone who handpicked it out of Bert’s lion mane and Judy’s hair. This fact can be backed up by a book he wrote years ago that mentioned records of this.

[loringbush]

And there will never be another like it!
