Top 10 Things Only Adults Notice in The Wizard of Oz

Give them back to me or I’ll it’s too late. There they are, and there they’ll stay. Welcome to Miss Mojo. And today we’re counting down our picks for the wonderful wizardly and weird things about The Wizard of Oz that might have grabbed their broomsticks and flown over our heads when we were kids. Now fly. Fly #10. The special effects are super impressive. Kids watching today or even 30 years ago wouldn’t even flinch as Dorothy leaves her sepia home and enters the Technicolor Munchkin land total. I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore. They might have even thought the initial lack of color was just a glitch, but imagine seeing it for the first time in 1939. That moment Dorothy steps out of her front door would have blown your mind. It’s beautiful, isn’t it? Just like I knew he really must be a wonderful wizard to live in a city like that. The movie was one of the frontrunners in special effects innovation, using cutting edge technology to bring L Frank Baum’s fantastic world to life. Apparently it was a long process that posed plenty of challenges. However, it played a crucial role in making The Wizard of Oz an iconic piece of cinema history. He brings you good news. Or haven’t you heard when she fell out of Kansas #9? Where are Dorothy’s parents when we first meet Dorothy Gale? She’s pretty happy living on a farm with her Uncle Henry and Aunt AM. Come on, we’ll go tell Uncle Henry and add again. Still, we can’t help but wonder where her parents are. They’re never mentioned in the film, so for all we know, they could be anywhere from chasing their own rainbows to no longer around. If you’ve read the books, you might remember that at one point it’s briefly mentioned that Dorothy’s mother passed away. Still, neither the book nor the movie truly delves into how Dorothy came to live with her aunt and uncle, someone she’s been very kind to, someone she’s taken care of in sickness. I had the measles once, and she stayed right by me every minute. Also, are they biologically related, or does she just call them Auntie and uncle as a term of affection? Because I love you all. Oh, Auntie M, there’s no place like Hull number 8, the Wicked Witch of the West’s hygiene habits. If it takes a mere bucket of water to melt this witch, how does she keep up with her personal cleanliness? If she’s not bathing or washing her hands, what is she doing? Has she conjured up some liquidless alternatives, like the hand sanitizer gels we’ve all become dependent on these days? Or did she ask the wizard to think up some solution? Perhaps the real reason the munchkins fear her is because they can always smell her before they see her. Also, is she cranky because she’s always dehydrated? We admit we’ve fallen down the rabbit hole with this one, But once you think about it, it’s kind of hard to stop. I’m mounting. Mounting. Oh, my world, my world. Oh my God, It’s a little girl like you for destroy my beautiful Wicked #7. Is Glenda really all that good? In Wicked, we learned that the Wizard bestowed the title of Good on Glenda. When you bowed before his throat, he decreed your pence be known as Calendar. Before officially, however, who gave her 1939 MGM counterpart that name? We’d like to have a word. Firstly, she seems to enjoy the Munchkin celebratory March more than anyone else. Also, let’s not forget who put the target on Dorothy’s back, or more correctly, those shoes on her feet. Keep tight inside of them. Their magic must be very powerful or she wouldn’t want them so badly. Splendor. I’ll fix you as well. Rubbish. You have no power here. They’re gone before somebody drops the house on YouTube. She probably made Dorothy’s trip to the Emerald City that much harder. Also, if she could help Dorothy get home, was that whole? She had to learn it for herself. Thing really necessary. You’ve always had the power to go back to Kansas. I have. Then why didn’t you tell her before? Because she wouldn’t have believed me. You had to learn it for her, Sir. If anything, Dorothy’s reaction in Mad T VS Alternate Ending makes far more sense. Perhaps Glinda, Mistress of Chaos, is more appropriate. Lick your heels and say there’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. I would have been home in 2 seconds. I could have been home 2 seconds after I got here. Number six, Frank Morgan was kept very busy on set. When we first see Frank Morgan as Professor Marvel, whom Dorothy meets when she runs away from home, They don’t understand you at home. They don’t appreciate you. You want to see other lands, big cities, big mountains, big oceans. Why? It’s just like you could read what was inside of me. Now. Pop quiz, who is his Oz counterpart? A, The Wizard? B2 different Emerald City Guards or C, the coachman of the horse of a different color? If you said surprise D all of the above Gold Star for you, some folks think there’s more to it than just the studio trying to save money or show off Morgan’s acting skills, I’ll get you into the Wizard somehow. I hadn’t had him myself, Was in Baum’s books. The Emerald City residents seemingly wore green lens glasses that created the illusion of the spectacular city. Likewise, Morgan’s Wizard may have embodied the various characters to keep up his charade. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. The greeting horse has spoken #5 Fly, fly, my pretties. Remember that scene where the wicked Witch sends her flying monkeys to capture Dorothy? Take your army to the haunted forest and bring me that girl and her dog. Do what you like with the others, but I want her alive and I’m hard. They’ll give you no trouble, I promise you that. Of course you do. Those flying monkeys have fueled kids nightmares for generations now. Do you remember what she says as they fly by her window? Did you say fly my pretties? Sorry to break it to you, but you’ve been had by the Mandela Effect. Don’t believe us? Listen again. Why have so many of us misremembered it? Well, the Witch tends to call Dorothy my pretty, so it seems we collectively just melded the two quotes together. It’s not the only misremembered line, either. Next time you watch, see if you can hear any others here. We’ll get you started. But it wasn’t a dream. It was a place. And you and you and you and you were there, but you couldn’t have been, could you? #4? Does Miss Gulch ever come back? For Toto? The movie opens with Dorothy and Toto catching the ire of the local shrew. Miss Gulch? She hasn’t come in yet. Toto, did she hurt you? She tried to, didn’t she? Come on, we’ll go tell Uncle Henry and Addie M. Come on. However, Toto manages to escape. Then there’s the twister. And so on. Fast forward to the end. Dorothy wakes up thinking she’s been away for days. Only it seems not even one day has passed. That’s one powerful subconscious. But I did leave you, Uncle Henry. That’s just the trouble. And I tried to get back for days and days. They’re they’re like, quiet now. You just had a bad dream. Anyway, given how things were left with Miss Gulch, wouldn’t she come back for Toto when she realized he’d escaped? Dorothy’s guardians had obeyed the sheriff’s order the first time. We can’t go against the Lord, Dorothy. I’m afraid poor Toto will have to go. Now you’re seeing reason. Here’s when I’m taking him in. He can’t attack me again. No, No, I won’t let you take him. You’ll go away. I’ll bite you myself. Imagine if Dorothy woke up from her dream to find her beloved pet gone. Perhaps Miss Gulch did return, but this time, and M really let her have it. Just because you own half the county doesn’t mean you have the power to run the rest of us. For 23 years, I’ve been dying to tell you what I thought of you. And now well-being. A Christian woman. I can’t say it #3 Dorothy’s shoes are meant to be silver bounds. Fans might spot nods to the books throughout the movie. For example, see the umbrella on Miss Gulch’s bicycle. In the books, the Witch, Gulch’s Ozzie and alter ego uses an umbrella, not a broomstick, which makes sense given her water aversion. The wooden saw horse is also a nod to a book character, and readers will recognize the golden gap as the tool the witch uses to control her flying monkeys. Somebody always helps that girl, but shoes are no shoes. I’m still crazy enough to conquer her and won’t do those who try to stop. However, one significant change stands out. Dorothy’s shoes. In the books, they’re silver, but this famous pair clearly aren’t. Well, if you’d invested in the latest Technicolor movie tech, wouldn’t you want to make those shoes shine? When I gain those Ruby slippers, my power will be the greatest enough. There is no denying that Ruby really pops #2. Who’s Glinda’s Kansas alter ego? As we’ve seen, almost everyone Dorothy meets in Ounces has a Kansas counterpart. Now look at Dorothy. You ain’t using your head about Miss Gulch. I think you didn’t have any brains at all. I have so got brains. Well, why don’t you use them? Indeed. This is teased in one of the earliest scenes where two of the farmhands advised Dorothy about her brains and courage. There was reportedly also meant to be a line about a machine with real heart, but it got cut. Still, one mystery remains. Who’s Dorothy’s real world? Glinda. I am a witch. I’m Glinda, the Witch of the North. You are? I beg your pardon, but I’ve never heard of a beautiful witch before. We certainly don’t meet anyone who fits the bill, except maybe NM. But then wouldn’t she be played by the same actress like all the others? Perhaps she represents Dorothy’s mother. Glenda was apparently inspired by Baum’s mother-in-law author and advocate, Matilda Joslyn Gage. So there’s definitely some motherly connection there. Will you help me? Can you help me? You don’t need to be helped any longer. You’ve always had the power to go back to Kansas. Then why didn’t you tell her before? Because she wouldn’t have believed me. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. Dorothy’s daughter hearts the Tin Man’s son. Jack Haley’s Tin man found his heart so his son, Jack Haley Junior could give it for a brief time at least to Liza Minnelli. Dorothy’s hair length changes. Is this part of the magic of Oz self styling hair would save us a few trips to the salon. My people come and go so quickly, a Disney connection in If I Only Had a Heart. We briefly hear Snow White voice actress Adriana Casalotti. She’s uncredited due to her contract with Disney Romeo. Dorothy’s dress has pockets. If we met the Wizard, we might have asked for dresses with pockets to be more common. That’s awfully nice of you. My life has been simply unbearable. Well, it’s all right. Now. The Wizard will fix everything. Scarecrow recites Pythagorean theorem. Or does he? Hey, it’s only his first day with a brain. We spent years in school. We’re not even sure we would get it right. Some of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side. Oh, joy Rapture, I’ve got a brain.

To be more accurate, think about it. She’s just found out that her sister had been flattened by a falling house. She thinks about those Ruby shoes and how she’ll fondly remember her late sister every time she clicks her heels together. No, it was an accident. I didn’t mean to kill anybody. Well, my little pretty I can cause accidents too. Aren’t you forgetting the Ruby slippers? Slippers. Yes, slippers only. What happens? Some meddling witch who audaciously calls herself good decides to take them. And who does she give them to? That’s right, the very girl who’s responsible for your sister’s demise. They’re gone. The Ruby slipper. What have you done with them? Give them back to me or I’ll. It’s too late. There they are, and there they’ll stay. Sure, it wasn’t deliberate, but that’s neither here nor there Right now. We’re not denying that this witch truly is wicked, but come on, don’t tell us you wouldn’t be mad too take special care of those Ruby slippers. I want those most of all.
