It started out in black and white then transitioned to color in the Cyclone sequence- Having seen it only in Black and White I was not aware of this. It was probably the first feature-length fantasy film that was NOT a Cartoon- unlike Snow White which was a cartoon. With the exception of Dorothy, few of the characters have real names- and this policy of anonymity is a little annoying and would inhibit conversation. This is not a problem with a crowd scene on a subway platform, for example. Tell you the truth, I never liked Wizard of Oz.

∙ 12y agoIt is in the addition and elimination of characters and events and in the beginning and ending sequences that the book and the movie versions of "The Wizard of Oz" differs.
Specifically, the original 1900 book edition begins and ends with Dorothy, her pet dog Toto and her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em in their Kansas farmhouse. The beloved 1939 movie class additionally brings in farm hands in the beginning and end as well as a disgruntled schoolteacher and scamming circus performer. The differences confer reality in the book and imagination in the film to Dorothy's adventures in Oz.
