No, the line "Don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain" is not in "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."Specifically, the statement is found in the beloved 1939 film version but not the original 1900 book edition of "The Wizard of Oz." It is made by the Wizard when Toto pulls aside the curtain hiding the humbug magician from his visitors. It is said in a last-ditch effort to keep Dorothy, Toto and their three friends from connecting a little old man with a frightening, disembodied voice.
No his is not really a wizard. He is an ordinary man that has some skill with equipment and can throw his voice. He was a balloonist that got blown to Oz.
In "The Wizard of Oz" (1939), the Wizard is played by Frank Morgan. Of course the Wizard is not real in the film. It's controlled by the man behind the curtain.
In the original 1939 film, the straw man (Scarecrow) was played by Ray Bolger.
There is no remake ... yet ... of "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, there have been adaptations of the original 1900 book edition and the beloved 1939 film version of "The Wizard of Oz." Examples include "The Wiz" in 1978, "The Muppets' Wizard of Oz" in 2005 and "Tin Man" in 2007. The film "Return to Oz" in 1985 operates as a sequel. But there was talk in 2010 of a prequel in the form of "Oz: The Great and Powerful" and of an actual remake of "The Wizard of Oz" by Robert Zemeckis (b. May 4, 1952).
It is after the Wizard comes to Oz that the Emerald City is created in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, this information is not detailed completely in either the original 1900 book edition or the beloved 1939 film version of "The Wizard of Oz." But the Wizard enters a world of opportunity for him when his hot air balloon loses course and lands in Oz. The country is leaderless, and the Wizard steps in and builds not only his Emerald Palace but also the entire Emerald City. These events take place when is a young man, most likely in his twenties, and he is old, possibly in his sixties, when he meets Dorothy Gale.
Ernest Borgnine voices the elderly version of Mermaid Man(Adam West voices the younger version .) .
The hanging man in "The Wizard of Oz" (1939) is a myth. the myth states that a munchkin hanged himself in the background of one of the scenes. It Never Happened. The truth: Live animals were brought onto the set for use in the background of scenes. One of these animals moving around has been mistaken for the 'hanging man'.
Yes, there were at least three remakes of the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz'. The first was 'The Wiz', which was released in 1978. The second was 'The Muppets' Wizard of Oz', which was released in 2005. The third was 'Tin Man', which was released as a mini series in 2007.
