Wizard of Oz

In the original 1900 novel "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum, Aunt Em has a limited role and only a few lines of dialogue. However, in the 1939 film adaptation "The Wizard of Oz," Aunt Em has a slightly expanded role, with actress Clara Blandick portraying her. In the film, Aunt Em has approximately 13 lines of dialogue, including memorable lines such as "Almira Gulch, just because you own half the county doesn't mean you have the power to run the rest of us."

In the Wizard of Oz, the name of the cowardly lion is "Cowardly Lion." The character is known for his lack of courage and his desire to find courage throughout the story. The Cowardly Lion is one of Dorothy's companions on her journey to meet the Wizard in the Emerald City.

In "The Wizard of Oz," it was the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and Dorothy who did not fall asleep in the poppy field. The Cowardly Lion was the only one who succumbed to the effects of the poppies and fell asleep. The Tin Man and the Scarecrow were not affected by the poppies due to their lack of biological functions, and Dorothy was protected by the Good Witch of the North's kiss.

The name of Dorothy's dog in "The Wizard of Oz" is Toto. Toto is a small Cairn Terrier who accompanies Dorothy on her journey to the Emerald City. Toto is a loyal companion to Dorothy throughout the story.

Well, isn't that a delightful question! The bow of the Cowardly Lion is a beautiful shade of emerald green, just like the lush forests you might find on a peaceful stroll. It adds a touch of whimsy and charm to his majestic mane, don't you think?

Well, honey, in The Wizard of Oz, the monkeys were actually played by actors in costumes, not real monkeys. The actors inside those furry suits were known as the "Winged Monkeys" and were primarily portrayed by stuntmen and extras. So, no need to go bananas trying to find out who played them, it was all about the costumes and movie magic.

In the original novel "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum, the flying monkeys were not given individual names. They were simply referred to as the Flying Monkeys or Winged Monkeys. In the 1939 film adaptation "The Wizard of Oz," they were also not named individually. However, the leader of the Flying Monkeys was referred to as the "Head Flying Monkey" or "Commander of the Winged Monkeys."

Well, darling, the actor who played the Wizard in The Wizard of Oz was Frank Morgan. He may have been hiding behind a curtain, but his performance sure wasn't hiding the fact that he nailed the role. So, there you have it, Frank Morgan was the man behind the curtain pulling all the strings.

Well, honey, in 'The Wizard of Oz,' it's not just any old roof that gets blown off Dorothy's house - the whole darn thing gets picked up and dropped in the Land of Oz by a tornado. So yeah, the roof is definitely gone, along with the rest of the house. It's like a real estate nightmare on steroids.

A cyclone lifted Dorothy Gale's farmhouse from Kansas all the way to the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz. When the house landed, it settled on top of the Wicked Witch of the East. According to both the original 1900 book edition, and the beloved 1939 film version, of 'The Wizard of Oz', the action was fatal for the Witch.

Ah, in "The Wizard of Oz," Aunt Em lovingly gives the farm hands a hearty meal of fried chicken and apple pie. It's a simple yet delicious feast that warms the heart and nourishes the soul. Just like a painting, food can bring people together and create wonderful memories.

"Wicked" is a musical that serves as a prequel to "The Wizard of Oz," focusing on the backstory of the witches Glinda and Elphaba. It explores themes of friendship, power, and morality in the Land of Oz. In contrast, "The Wizard of Oz" is a classic film based on L. Frank Baum's book, following Dorothy's journey to the Emerald City. The two works offer different perspectives on the characters and events in the Land of Oz, providing a more nuanced understanding of the story.

Honey, in "The Wizard of Oz," the black and white portion at the beginning lasts about 20 minutes. So, grab your popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the transition to Technicolor because that's where the real magic happens.

In "The Wizard of Oz," Nikko is the leader of the flying monkeys who serve the Wicked Witch of the West. Nikko is a character that is not heavily featured in the original 1939 film adaptation but plays a significant role in the original book by L. Frank Baum. Nikko is often portrayed as a loyal and obedient servant to the Wicked Witch, carrying out her orders with precision and efficiency.

According to the 1900 edition of the original book by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum, there are four witches in the land of Oz. Two witches are wicked, and remain the nameless Wicked Witches of the East and of the West. But their names are revealed decades later, when Gregory Maguire gives them the names Elphaba Thropp of the West, and Nessarose Thropp of the East.

Two witches, in the lands of Oz, are good. The Good Witch of the South is ka Glinda. The Good Witch of the North remains nameless. Or does she? Later in the book, the Winged Monkeys tell the tale of Quelala and his wife Gayelette, a beautiful princess and powerful sorceress of the North. Is Gayelette a third good witch? Or is she the older Good Witch of the North in her youth? And to complicate things even further, according to the 1902/1903 stage version of the book, which also was authored by Baum, the Good Witch of the North is ka Locasta.

In the movie, Glinda is the Good Witch of the North. The Wicked Witch of the East and the Wicked Witch of the West have no names in the movie version of "The Wizard of Oz."

In Gregory McGuire's book Wicked, he names the Wicked Witch of the West Elphaba (from the author of the Wizard of Oz's initials, LFB) and the Wicked Witch of the East Nessarose. Galinda, who becomes known later as Glinda, is the good witch.

Oh, dude, the wizard probably said something like, "Here's your heart, don't go breaking it now!" I mean, that tin man better be careful with that thing, right? Like, imagine trying to fix a broken heart made of metal, that's a whole other level of relationship drama!

Good Question. When Dorothy was in Kansas, it was shot in black and white. But when she was in Oz, it was shot in color. The entire movie was printed on color film, though, so the "black and white" parts could be not actually black and white, but sepia (dark brown) and white (don't believe me? go watch it again), which gives those scenes a softer, warmer look and suggests old sepiatone photographs.

In The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy's house is transported to the Land of Oz by a tornado.

Work it out. I'm 63 and middle-aged because I intend to live to 120. By himself, never. By everyone around him, yes.

In the Oz books, Dorothy is an orphan raised by her aunt and uncle in the bleak landscape of a Kansas farm. It was never divulged as to her true origins

The Yellow Brick Road is in the fictional "Wizard of Oz" story. Dorothy is knocked unconscious and has a dream (which takes up the bulk of the story). In the dream, she follows the Yellow Brick Road to get to the Emerald City, also called Oz, to ask the wizard to help her get back home.
