Wizard of Oz

Is said to be a resting place for Toto when he gets tired.

Answer #1 Following some confusion in the balloon incident - in my mind the weakest end of the plot, now we would use teleportation a la Star Trek - Dorothy finds herself at home in bed. The resolution is the whole thing was a nightmare. Therefore, it is pure fantasy and this explains why there was no filmic sequel. If it never happened, why try a re-take? Answer #2The main conflict, the main dilemma to be resolved in The World of Oz is getting Dorothy and Toto back home. An unsuccessful attempt is made to do so with the planned hot air balloon departure of the Wizard, Toto, and Dorothy. But Toto jumps out of the basket at the last minute, Dorothy takes off after her to catch her and bring her back into the basket, and the balloon takes off with just the Wizard on board. But all's not lost. For Glinda the Good Witch of the South comes to the rescue. She tells Dorothy that the little girl has had the power to go back home from the very first day in the Land of Oz. For the Silver Slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East hold a secret power. They will do whatever the wearer asks as long as the wearer has the shoes on, claps the heels together three times, and says the request out loud. Dorothy does so, and in three big long strides she and Toto are back home. In addition, there are other minor conflicts and dilemmas, which also get resolved. For example, the Wizard gets to leave; the Tin Woodman gets a heart, the Scarecrow gets a brain, and the Cowardly Lion gets courage; and the Munchkins and the Winkies get freed from the Wicked Witches of the West and of the East, respectively.

Not in that role.

However, Frank Morgan, who played a total of five roles in the movie (including Professor eMarvel, the Doorman, the Cabbie, the Guard, and the Wizard himself) does sing in the role of the Cabbie ("The Merry Old Land of Oz").

In traditional performances and video versions of The Wizard of Oz, the wizard never sings.

Margaret Hamilton [December 9, 1902-May 16, 1985] may have gotten the role of the Wicked Witch of the West for four reasons. First, the part was originally intended for Gale Sondergaard[February 15, 1899-August 14, 1985], who refused to wear the disfiguring makeup to turn her glamorous looks into the ugly antagonist of The Wizard of Oz. Second, Hamilton worked through an agent who quickly got those involved in the production of the film to accept her once the part became available. Third, Hamilton had a solid reputation as a character actor. For she already had played unglamorous roles in her debut Zoo in Budapest [1933]; These Three [1936]; Nothing Sacred, Saratoga, and You Only Live Once [1937]; and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer [1938]. And fourth, Hamilton was the divorced parent of a young son. She was more interested in less glamorous, steadier employment, which kept the bills paid at $1,000 per working week, than all the publicity and ups-and-downs of top billing.

Answer #1 Glinda played by Billie Burke. Answer #2In the 1939 film verson of The Wizard of Oz, Glinda is presented as the Good Witch of the North. Nothing is said about the position of Good Witch of the South, which she occupies in the original book by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919]. In the book, there's a nameless Good Witch of the North, who is among the first four to meet and greet Dorothy and Toto after their crash landing on Oz. In the 1902-1903 stage version of his book, Baum gives the Good Witch of the South a name: Locasta.

no. no more exist. the last one that did exist was in Wizard of OZ..

The wizard does not seem to really want anything; other characters in the movie go to him, asking for help, but he isn't asking anyone for anything. Seemingly, all he wants to do is to work at the career he has chosen, which is that of carnival magician. In Oz he gets taken more seriously than he was back home, but his work is essentially the same.

Terry

The dog's name was actually Terry although the credits in the movie show Toto was played by Toto.

There was only one uncle in The Wizard of Oz, and he was ka Uncle Henry. In the 1939 film version of the original book by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919] there were three farmhands, who were ka Hickory Twicker, Hunk Andrews, and Zeke.

He does briefly carry a gun when walking through the haunted woods.

In the original 1900 book edition of The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy Gale wears worn, dark leather shoes. Then she receives the Silver Slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East, whom she accidentally kills when the Witch and Dorothy's farmhouse land in the same place. In the beloved 1939 film version, Dorothy wears Ruby Slippers.

L. Frank Baum wanted to write an American fairy tale that kids could relate to that wasn't just a thinly veiled moral.

Toto

What made the red ruby slippers so special was that they were magic shoes. And Dorothy Gale could of went home all along, but instead she staid and help her friend the scarecrow get a brain, the tinman get a heart, and the lion get courage. They were also special because they sent her to Kansas from the land of oz.

Surrender Dorothy

Those who find political meanings and symbolisms in The Wizard of Oz may see the Scarecrow as representative of the farmers.

Red, in the 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz. Those involved in the filming considered silver to look washed out in comparison to all the riotous colors of their Technicolor production. And so they opted for Ruby Slippers. In the original book, and in the 1902/1903 stage version, by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], the Slippers were Silver.

No, regarding the Wicked Witch of the East; yes, regarding the Wicked Witch of the West. Dorothy Gale doesn't fear the Wicked Witch of the East. For her house falls on top of, and kills, the Witch. But Dorothy fears the Wicked Witch of the West. For she witnesses the Witch's cruelty. Glinda the Good Witch gives Dorothy the Slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East. The Wicked Witch of the West wants the Slippers, and will do anything to get them. Dorothy realizes this, and keeps up a brave front in the face of a fearsome foe.
