The term "Munchkins" refers to the small inhabitants of the fictional Land of Oz in L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." In the context of the 1939 film adaptation, a large number of Munchkin characters were portrayed by a group of little people, many of whom were members of the "Midgets of America" organization. The filmmakers cast around 124 little people to depict the Munchkins, creating a vibrant and memorable scene during Dorothy's arrival in Oz. Their inclusion contributed to the whimsical, fantastical atmosphere of the story.
