“Ring around the Rosie a pocket full of spears, thought to be pretty foxy didn’t ya?”

[ianman]

Margaret Hamilton should have been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in this movie.

If you see how the scarecrow holds Dorothy in his arms like he’s saying: “please don’t hurt her”, it shows how much he actually cares about her.

[jeffreysnydr]

"How about a little fire, Scarecrow?"

So, you have chosen death...

“And may the schwartz be with what a world, what a world!”

85 years old now, this movie is timeless. Margaret Hamilton was an incredible witch. She scared generations of kids. She stole the show in this film.

[classics]

Ray Bolger’s Scarecrow costume was chemically treated to repel fire for this scene. Despite this, Margaret Hamilton was still absolutely terrified that she’d hurt him with that torch, and although director Victor Fleming told her to “just light him as if he were a cigarette, ” it took five takes for her to stay in character (i.e., act sinister rather than tense and worried) while setting Bolger’s costume ablaze. According to publicity, when they finally completed the shot successfully, Hamilton fainted.

Here’s how they made her melt: They put Margaret Hamilton on a small elevator platform that dropped below the soundstage. They tacked the hem of her witch’s dress around the outside of the elevator so it would stay up. Then the air rushing up the elevator shaft puffed up her skirt. Also, under the skirt, they put dry ice for the steam effect. And then the finishing touch was they put a bigger witch’s hat on her head when she was melting so it would look like her face was smaller.

“Ohh what a world, what a world”

I think I relate with the wicked witch a bit to9 much

[tealamboley]

Elphie and Fiyero be like “everything goes according to plan.”

[Aramanth]

"Thought you'd you be pretty foxy, didn't you? WELL!"
Love that line lol

[BrianWalters-eisd]

0:43 I've never noticed until now that the Wicked Witch says "Don't throw that water!" after Dorothy grabs the bucket.

The fire on her broom magically gets extinguished.

My Aunt at 59 just passed due to cancer, suffered from seizures growing up, was disabled her whole life, couldn’t eat or drink in her last 10 years, cause she was fed through a feeding tube. Only had one lung, because she lost it early in her life. But she isn’t someone who had a choice, like most of us do. She did it with a smile on her face😊, and always kept pushing through every obstacle. I think she has watched this movie close to 3, 000 times in her life(she watched it 5 times a day), so with the math it could be more😂. I miss her so much and know she’s watching this right now in heaven.🥰

[wlliamson]

A few days later..

Scarecrow: (knocks on a trap door) It worked!

[azuraluna]

When Dorothy was about to throw the water my friend yelled out, "the power of Christ compells you!!"

[lightquest]

“Ring around the rosie a pocket full of spears” 🤣🤣🤣

[Sam]

Fun fact: Judy loved this doing this scene. She didn't like how lifting the bucket tired her though so she only filmed it like 3 times. Lol.

[thekiss]

Margaret Hamilton's voice is so powerful that her screams and yells often blow out the microphones picking her up. I think that quality was part of what made her so scary to me as a kid. She doesn't sound like any other movie villain ever has!

[CarrollDeanJones]

Margaret Hamilton was a sweetheart in reality.
