The Wizard of Oz | The Wicked Witch Is Dead | Warner Classics

Celebrate the 85th Anniversary of The Wizard of Oz!

Original Theatrical Release: August 25, 1939

About The Wizard of Oz:
In this classic musical fantasy, Judy Garland stars as Dorothy Gale, a young Kansas farm girl who dreams of a land "somewhere over the rainbow." Dorothy's dream comes true when she, her dog, Toto, and her family's house are transported by a tornado to a bright and magical world unlike anything she has seen before.

Unfortunately, she makes a mortal enemy of a wicked witch when the house falls on the hag's sister. Now, befriended by a scarecrow without a brain, a tin man with no heart and a cowardly lion—and protected by a pair of enchanted ruby slippers—Dorothy sets off along a yellow brick road for the Emerald City to beseech the all-powerful Wizard of Oz for his help to return home.

Winner of Academy Awards for the classic song, "Over The Rainbow" and for "Best Score," the family classic also received an Oscar nomination for "Best Picture." A special Oscar for "the best juvenile performer of the year" was awarded to Judy Garland.

A classic movie that will never grow old. Long live Dorothy, long live the Land of Oz.

The technology they developed for the Munchkin voices is truly amazing and also considering all the music was recorded in multi-track sound it’s nothing short of a miracle we can get to listen to this 85-year-old film in real 5.1

First comment I adore this movie so much! One of my faves!

When i first saw the munchkins I was always impressed in how well the civic guard/militia marched in rhythm and I could tell that a professional drill instructor had put them through the paces. I always imagined that if the evil witches took over their realm those little munchkin soldiers would have turned out into great guerilla fighters....but that's the wistful thinking of a 12 year old kid watching the movie on

Dorothy is cute she has a beautiful voice

[HajimeIshii-dnmz]

Glinda is obviously Billie Burke’s signature role. I could not imagine another actress playing the role. She was 54 when she was in “The Wizard of Oz” back in the 30s. She could have been mistaken for someone in her 30s.

In the original book the movie the wizard of oz is based on there are actually 2 good witches there's addaperle the good witch of the North who rules over the northern region of oz and glinda the good witch of the South who ruled over the southern region of oz for the movie they decided to make both good witches into 1 character and in the books ending glinda didn't show up in Emerald city to tell Dorothy about how she could use the magic slippers to get home Dorothy and her friends had to travel all the way to glindas side of oz to ask for her help

Glinda: “Only bad witches are ugly.”

Also Glinda: “Are you a good witch or a bad witch?”
