The Wizard of Oz is a 1939 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film, and the most well-known screen adaptation of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The film was produced by Mervyn LeRoy, directed by Victor Fleming, and starred Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr and Margaret Hamilton.The film changed the silver shoes to ruby slippers (depending on the source, this was either to show off the new Technicolor process of the time, because the writers thought using silver shoes would be boring, or because silver shoes didn't show up well on screen); merged the two good witches together; cut out several story incidents (including all of Dorothy's admittedly-anticlimactic return to the Emerald City after killing the Wicked Witch and the journey from the Emerald City to Glinda's palace); and added the possible All Just a Dream ending (as the studio heads thought the audience would be too sophisticated to accept a "real" fantasyland).note In The Emerald City of Oz, just before Dorothy, Aunt Em, and Uncle Henry return to Oz once and for all, Aunt Em and Uncle Henry believe that Dorothy's Oz adventures are mere dreams, as well. As it turns out, Oz was a real place.This movie has proven so popular that it has had several stage adaptations written and produced over the years. Professional productions have included a touring ice show in the 1990s, an All-Star Cast concert staging in New York City in 1995, another N.Y.C. production that ran seasonally at Madison Square Garden later in the decade, and a 2011 London production produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber that added several new songs by Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. The 2011 Tom and Jerry Direct to Video movie Tom and Jerry and the Wizard of Oz is a Twice-Told Tale version, and got its own follow-up Tom and Jerry: Back to Oz in 2016. It was even the basis for a professional wrestling gimmick.Disney has made two films that effectively serve as (unofficial) bookends to this one. 1985's Return to Oz is a semi-sequel that's substantially Darker and Edgier, but also more faithful to the original Oz novels. 2013's Oz the Great and Powerful is a spiritual prequel to this film, an origin story following the Wizard (played by James Franco) as he first arrives in Oz.While this version is by far the most well known, and much more well-known than the book it is based on, it is not the only, or even the first film adaptation. There were several silent adaptations, the oldest surviving of which is from 1910. That, curiously enough, was based on a 1902 stage musical. Although most of the music for the show has been lost, the producers of the 1939 version were aware of it, and that may have had an influence on their work. Adaptations were far rarer since then, and most since have been based on the film rather than the book.As far as tropes go, this film has directly inspired Off to See the Wizard (for Stock Parodies of the film's plot) and Not in Kansas Anymore.Not to be confused with the very different HBO drama Oz

Miles Gloriosus The Lion starts out pretending to be brave and aggressive when Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man first meet him. It doesn't last long. Later, when he is about to rush into the Witch's castle to rescue Dorothy, the Scarecrow and Tin Man make sure that he doesn't run away when he asks them to talk him out of it. Oz the Great and Powerful, who scares Dorothy and her companions as a big fiery head into getting the Witch's broomstick, is later unmasked as a humbug, only to confess his own fears when Dorothy asks if he was frightened:

Card-Carrying Villain: When the Witch of the West cries, “Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness?� At a more indirect level, Glinda’s query to Dorothy—“Are you a good witch or a bad witch?�—seemingly implies that it’s normal for bad witches to freely admit to being bad.

comment
The Artifact: In the beginning Kansas scenes, Auntie Em reprimands Hickory note the Tin Man's regular-world counterpart about "Tinkering with that contraption" then orders him and Hunk note the Scarecrow's regular-world counterpart to get back to fixing the wagon (something obviously worded as something other than 'that contraption'). There was a cut scene (presumed lost) where Hickory was building a "Weather Machine" so he could control the weather. In the scene where the Wicked Witch sends her army of flying monkeys to steal the ruby slippers, she has a somewhat baffling line where she says, "I've sent a little insect on ahead to take the fight out of them!" This line referred to the scrapped "Jitterbug" sequence. The producers forgot to remove this reference to the nonexistent scene (or hoped that the audience wouldn't notice — or would retcon it into something else such as what picked up the Tin Woodman and dropped him). When saying her tearful goodbyes to her companions at the end of the movie, Dorothy has a similarly baffling line where she says to the Scarecrow, "I think I'll miss you most of all!", even though nothing in the movie seems to suggest that she's any closer with the Scarecrow than with her other two companions. note  Unless you accept the Hand Wave that she met the Scarecrow first, and spent slightly more time with him than with the others. This appears to be a holdover from an early version of the script, in which Dorothy had a romantic subplot with Hunk (the Scarecrow's Kansas counterpart), and the first act featured him preparing to leave the farm to study at the Agricultural College. Apparently, the implication was supposed to be that Dorothy grew exceptionally close to the Scarecrow because he reminded her of the man she loved—but with the subplot cut out, it just seems inexplicable. At the Palace in the Emerald City, the soldier's mustache is pointed up. In the middle things, the mustache has suddenly changed to point down. This is a relic of a cut scene or sequence.

Darker and Edgier
 The Wizard of Oz / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: While it doesn't seem like this to the average viewer, some parts are considerably darker than the book. When writing the book, Baum explicitly said that he wanted to make a story with all the wonder of a classic fairy tale but none of the horror and tragedy. By contrast, the movie features Toto getting sentenced to death, as well as Dorothy and her friends nearly getting killed by the Witch and her minions several times. Instead of the book's comical Witch, the movie's Witch is a genuinely scary villain with obvious sadistic tendencies. And instead of being neutral creatures answering to the Witch's three wishes, the movie's flying monkeys are eerily silent monstrosities who serve the Witch as mindless slaves. Then again, there are moments when the movie is Lighter and Softer than the book. The book explicitly had Dorothy's companions kill the creatures sent by the Wicked Witch, and the origin of the Tin Woodsman is considerably horrific. He was a human whose limbs were cut off with his own axe, and were replaced by prosthetics. The biggest change in this regard is that, in the book, the Good Witch of the North puts a charm on Dorothy that prevents anyone in Oz from hurting her, so throughout the entire story she is never actually in any physical danger. The movie limits it to a brief kiss on Dorothy's forehead.

comment
Adaptational Villainy: In Baum's book, the flying monkeys are a neutral party who only follow the Wicked Witch because they are temporarily forced to serve her through her possession of a magic golden cap and later help Dorothy for the same reason. Here, they are exclusively the Witch's minions. The Wicked Witch herself gets a bit of this. While she is undoubtedly a bad person even in the first book, her role in the story is relatively minor and she is not especially powerful. In order to make her the main antagonist of the story (and so that Dorothy would be in real danger), her level of evil, as well as her capacity for harm, are increased significantly.

Mythology Gag
 The Wizard of Oz / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The two men in the rowboat are a reference to the "Hurrah For Baffin's Bay" number from the original 1902 musical. The cow is a reference to Imogene, who replaced Toto on stage as well. The movie changes Dorothy's silver shoes from the book into ruby slippers. Though this was ostensibly done so that the production staff could show off their Technicolor technology, the ruby slippers can also be considered a subtle nod to the region of Quadling Country, which was cut from the movie. In the book, Quadling Country is filled with ruby mines, and it takes red as its totemic color. Note that the ruler of Quadling Country—who sits on a throne of rubies—is also the one who finally tells Dorothy that the shoes can send her home. Allegedly, while it's hard to see, apparently the original silver shoes did make it into the final film...as part of Glinda's costume. The cap with which the Wicked Witch of the West is shown gesturing at Nikko (just before the witch flies off to the Emerald City) is the same cap she uses in the book to control the Flying Monkeys. The reason this was never revealed (aside from not wanting to add in unnecessary explanations) is because the cap in the book can only be used three times by any one person, which would make the audience question whether or not the Witch still has enough uses left when she captures Dorothy.note Also, emphasizing the cap's magic would make it more likely that the audience would conclude Dorothy uses it to command the monkeys to fly her and her companions back to the Emerald City, thus explaining the swift Boring Return Journey. This is, in fact, what occurs in the book...but the filmmakers may have been worried how it would look for the young heroine to use magic to compel the monkeys the same way the villain did. Instead it is left ambiguous, and the audience can conclude that after the monkeys are freed by the Witch's death, they fly Dorothy and the others back voluntarily out of gratitude. Because Glinda and the Good Witch of the North are combined into one character, the moment when she kisses Dorothy on the forehead before departing is a reference to the Witch of the North doing so in the book. The implication is that this kiss had the same protective power, and explains why Dorothy can't be harmed by the Wicked Witch of the West (or anyone else) just as much as the slippers keep her safe.

Beauty Equals Goodness: Shamelessly: "Only bad witches are ugly." Of course you could say it's a case of a person's "inside matching their outside," which is likely why Glinda felt the need to ask Dorothy's intentions when she mistook her for a witch. It makes sense if you consider the idea using evil magic corrupts you over time, as Dorothy's age would hide her future intentions. Subverted by the Winkies. They are green-skinned and hook-nosed like the witch they serve, but as soon as she's dead they reveal that they are grateful to Dorothy for melting her and seem pretty nice guys.

Jungles Sound Like Kookaburras: A kookaburra can briefly be heard in the forest. Could be explained away by noting that Oz is a Dream Land, or at least a magical land where lots of different animals live together that normally wouldn't.

Mugged for Disguise: Dorothy's three friends get into the castle after beating up three Winkie guards and taking their uniforms. It isn't the best disguise, but it works. Technically, the friends don't mug the guards; the guards sneak up behind them and attacked, so it's more of a self-defense reflex.

Kick the Dog: The Wicked Witch gets a good number of these: Threatening Dorothy's dog Toto in the Trope Namer for And Your Little Dog, Too!. Ordering her mooks to drown Toto anyway after Dorothy had already agreed to do what the Witch asked. Trapping Dorothy in a room with an evil hourglass, making Aunt Em appear in her crystal ball, and then sadistically mocking her once she's completely broken down. The above-mentioned Forced to Watch attempt at the climax. Her Kansas counterpart, Miss Gulch, also has moments of this, not just to Dorothy and Toto but Auntie Em and Uncle Henry as well.

Boss-Arena Idiocy: Why exactly does the wicked witch allow buckets of water within a mile of her castle, let alone right on a handy shelf? Granted, there's all those torches, but is she really the type to worry about fire safety? In the book, Dorothy is made the witch's slave, and one of her chores is to scrub the floor with a bucket of water, but this is not in the film.

No Fourth Wall While the farm house spins in the tornado, Dorothy screams in terror and at one point glares at the audience. The Cowardly Lion does this a few times. He laughs at the camera when he makes fun of the Tin Man. More infamously, he stares at the audience during his signature song "King of the Forest" and does it again after he says "You can say that again" when his friends say "courage" in unison. The Witch of the West arguably performs the most infamous one after sarcastically telling Dorothy she will give her "Aunty Em" via her crystal ball before cackling towards the camera.

Deus ex Machina
 The Wizard of Oz / int_3fca462c
comment
Deus ex Machina The heroes are cornered, surrounded by all the guards of the Wicked Witch of the West. The Witch herself, gloating in victory, lights the Scarecrow on fire and Dorothy tosses a bucket of water to put him out, some of it splashing the Witch. Lo and behold, water turns out to be the Witch's weakness and she suddenly begins melting for no explainable reason. All those guards that surround the heroes don't go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, but instead they are all cheering that she is dead. It makes one wonder why they didn't splash some water on her themselves if they hated her so much (they may not have known her weakness), or why the Witch kept such a lethal substance lying around in the castle (gotta clean the floor somehow). The melting is taken from the book (which did offer a plausible explanation for the bucket's presence), with the movie giving Dorothy a more direct reason to throw the bucket of water. There may have been mind control involved; some stage plays include the witch mentioning that she put the Winkies under a spell. Glinda floating down out of nowhere to tell Dorothy how to get home after all, instantly resolving the central conflict.

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole
 The Wizard of Oz / int_5663a595
comment
Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: An infamous example. There were two Good Witches in the book, of which Glinda was the second. The first one, the unnamed Good Witch of the North, met Dorothy when she first arrived in Oz and gave her the slippers, but Glinda (the Good Witch of the South, who didn't meet Dorothy until the end) was the only one who knew that their magic could help Dorothy get back to Kansas. The movie combines them into one character, leading many viewers to wonder why Glinda didn't just tell her how to get back home at the start of the movie. Hand-waved by Glinda’s explanation that Dorothy “wouldn’t have believed� her if she’d told her outright and that she had to figure it out for herself.

Ambiguous Syntax
 The Wizard of Oz / int_5aa4ec8a
comment
Ambiguous Syntax: When the Witch skywrites "SURRENDER DOROTHY" above the Emerald City, she uses no punctuation (which is difficult when skywriting) so it's unclear what her specific message is. It could mean "Surrender, Dorothy" as in "Give up, Dorothy, it's pointless to resist"; or "Surrender Dorothy" as in, "People of the Emerald City, if you have taken Dorothy in, give her to me"? (Or possibly both?) Even more confusingly, while the skywriting uses no punctuation, the subtitles read "Surrender, Dorothy" when the Lion reads it aloud. The shooting script makes it pretty clear that the intended message was "Surrender Dorothy or Die!"

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?
 The Wizard of Oz / int_5beef860
comment
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: The Scarecrow says he isn't afraid of anything—except a lighted match. (Of course, being made of straw, he's got a good reason to be.) In the Haunted Forest, when asked if he's afraid of spooks, the Tin Woodman claims he doesn't believe in them. The Lion is more honest...after the Tin Woodman is lifted aloft and dropped by something invisible.

Public Domain Soundtrack: Robert Schumann's "The Happy Farmer" is used when Dorothy is first running away from Miss Gulch, and when Dorothy is looking out the window during the cyclone scene. The music that plays in the background when Dorothy's friends are in the Wicked Witch's castle and arrive to rescue Dorothy is Night on Bald Mountain (the Rimsky-Korsakoff-streamlined version) by Modest Mussorgsky.

Sanity Slippage: The Wicked Witch of the West undergoes one in the second half. Granted, she's always been insane as far as the picture is concerned, but up until she figures out that the ruby slippers have been charmed to Dorothy's feet by magic and won't come off as long as she lives, her main goal is to get them back and to get revenge on Dorothy for killing the Witch of the East. Afterwards, she becomes more and more obsessed with destroying Dorothy and her friends with extreme prejudice. The last few times she antagonizes the others, it's for helping Dorothy, and later, for trespassing in her territory.

comment
Disneyfication The books contain a surprising amount of casual and sometimes decidedly un-PC violence: in the first one alone — besides the wholesale witchicide — the Scarecrow twists the necks of crows sent to attack them, the Tin Woodsman chops the heads off vicious wolves, and the Cowardly Lion swats the head off a giant spider with his paw. Plus, of course, the Tin Woodsman became tin by gradually having all his bits cut off and replaced — up to and including his head. In the book, Dorothy intentionally throws the bucket of water on the Wicked Witch after she steals her Silver Shoes (she doesn't know it'll make her melt, of course). The film changes this to Dorothy trying to put out a fire on the Scarecrow's arms and the water accidentally splashing on the Witch. In the book, the Wizard agrees to help them if they kill the Witch of the West. In the film, his request is simply that they bring him her broomstick. The Tin Man immediately points out that they’ll have to kill her to get her broomstick, but at least it's not officially a hit job.

Cold Reading: Professor Marvel uses this skill on Dorothy to convince her to go back to her farm. Once he figures out she's running away, he has a "vision" in his crystal ball of a farmhouse where people are sad and worried about her. The "vision" incorporates together some details he saw while sneaking a look at the picture in Dorothy's basket (Auntie Em's dress, and the weather vane with the running horse), and an astute guess that Dorothy once was sick (as any young person would likely be in that time period) and Auntie Em looked after her. It works and she rushes back home without considering his revelation would require precisely zero psychic ability.

Jerkass Has a Point: Toto went into Miss Gulch's yard, chased her cat up a tree, and bit Miss Gulch on the leg. Okay, Miss Gulch should have been kinder and far more lenient, but face it, she is well within her rights to be upset. The Talking Trees. They are trapped in place, unable to move, and every now and then, people come along to snatch off pieces of their body and eat them. What makes it even more terrifying is that since apples carry seeds, the trees are forced to watch people steal and eat their BABIES. Their anger at Dorothy is pretty justified.

Unexplained Accent: Hunk, Hickory, and Zeke live in rural Kansas but sound like they are from the East Coast. (Bert Lahr was born in New York City, while Jack Haley was born in Boston, and Ray Bolger hailed from the Dorchester section of Boston). While it is possible 3 guys from the East Coast could have been travelling together and ended up becoming farmhands, there is no excuse for a talking lion in a magical land having such an over-the-top "Brooklyn" accent (other than the fact that the Lion is a dream version of a real person).

Iconic Outfit: Dorothy is mostly remembered as wearing a blue-and-white checkered dress and the ruby slippers, with brunette hair braided in pigtails. It should be noted that this outfit is indeed the look she has for most of the original illustrations in the book, though she starts out wearing a red dress when the twister comes. (Some confusion was caused by a later artist having drawn her as a blonde with a bob cut in a rather stylish dress.)

Villain Has a Point: Miss Gulch is understandably annoyed that Dorothy continually walks home past her house, with Toto "once or twice a week" running into her yard and chasing her beloved pet cat; Hunk even bluntly points out to Dorothy that she could have come home by a different route and avoided her and Toto getting into trouble. Miss Gulch is also right to be angry about Toto biting her. Where Miss Gulch goes wrong, forever earning the enmity of generations of children, is demanding Toto be destroyed. Probably the best-known case of Disproportionate Retribution in film.

Adaptational Badass: While the Witch of the West could cast a few magical spells in the original novel, she's a far more powerful sorceress in this version; she was not able to do such things as throw fireballs or fly on a broomstick in the novel. Also, in the book she had nothing to do with the poppy field with pollen that lulled Dorothy and the Lion into a slumber; in this version, she created it. Also Glinda (albeit by combining her with other characters), who in this version sends a snowstorm to rescue Dorothy from the Poppy spell. She also intentionally sends the Ruby Slippers to Dorothy to protect her from the Wicked Witch, and is even able to scare her away (while in Munchkinland at least) simply by telling her off. In the original book, Glinda only appears in one of the last chapters and her skills in magic are only alluded to (she makes more use of them in the sequels).

 The Wizard of Oz / int_81414673
comment
AM/FM Characterization: In an early script draft, MGM planned to highlight Dorothy's Fish out of Water status by contrasting her jazzy vocals with an Oz princess who sings operatically. The whole gimmick, including the princess, was scrapped long before filming. Even so, there's still a vestige of it at the beginning of the movie. Notice how "Over the Rainbow," sung by Dorothy in Kansas, is a great example of a straightforward 1930s jazz standard... and then we get to Oz and the whole Munchkinland sequence is a big, intricate, freeflowing Massive Multiplayer Ensemble Number in old-fashioned Gilbert and Sullivan style.

The Trees Have Faces: Dorothy and the Scarecrow encounter some apple trees that are intelligent, can talk and move their branches, and have human faces. The Wicked Witch of the West is shown nearby before this happens, implying that she animated the trees.

Artistic License – Law: Miss Gulch has absolutely no clue whether or not Toto is the dog that bit her, nor any evidence whatsoever, and no investigation is ever done. But she still manages to get an order from the Sheriff nevertheless, and forces Dorothy to hand him over for her to kill. Just because she hates him, because of Toto chasing her cat. Auntie Em's comments imply that Gulch has paid people off to do her bidding.

comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: Despite kicking off the events of the plot, Miss Gulch's plan to have Toto put down is never even mentioned again when Dorothy gets back to Kansas. It's possible that the tornado simply gave Miss Gulch more important things to worry about, but this is never stated. Another theory is that when we saw Miss Gulch swept up in the tornado (before she became the Wicked Witch), that actually happened and she died in the aftermath.

Fire/Water Juxtaposition: The Wicked Witch of the West repeatedly uses fire to torment our heroes—she teleports in a ball of fire and smoke, hurls fireballs at the Scarecrow to taunt him, and ultimately tries to burn him alive—but meets her death when she melts after being splashed with water. More subtly, the Scarecrow and the Tin Man also have fire and water as their respective weaknesses: the Scarecrow is vulnerable to being burned, and the Tin Man easily rusts in the presence of water.

Cute Clumsy Girl: Male example. The Scarecrow is afflicted with the weakest legs you ever saw.

Justified in that he's made of straw.

Rule of Symbolism
 The Wizard of Oz / int_916c72b3
comment
Rule of Symbolism: The yellow brick road is portrayed as a symbol of the journey of life that everyone has to take, filled with thrills, dangers, deceptions, and surprises. In Dorothy's case, it's a journey where she discovers the lure of adventure, the exciting possibilities outside her sheltered life, and a lesson about the real meaning of growing up and the comforts of home. The road seems exciting at first but ultimately leads to the realization that the wizard is just an ordinary man and that Dorothy's sparkling dreams sometimes are not all they seem cracked up to be. The ruby slippers are especially notable considering they were silver in Baum's original book. Symbolically, they represent Dorothy's potential power, which she didn't know how to use at the time. That might explain why Glinda sent her off to see the Wizard. Only after all of her adventures, and the attendant self-reliance and confidence that comes with taking out two wicked witches single-handedly, could she tap into that power and use it to get what she wants. The Wicked Witch of the West herself is a walking piece of symbolism. She is basically a personification of someone who causes misery and takes great joy in taking away innocence in any way they can. However, she also serves as a lesson that the scary people in someone's life are only as scary as they let them be. Dorothy just needed a little bravery and the right instincts (in this case, coming to Scarecrow's aid when the Witch tried to burn him alive) to take her down, and it was surprisingly easy. That's why the water melted her. The cyclone is a catalyst for change, both in terms of the landscape and in terms of the characters. That Miss Gulch morphs into the Wicked Witch of the West in the middle of it was intentional, along with Dorothy learning the meaning of the phrase "Be Careful What You Wish For". It also stresses the fact that change is inevitable, and can't be stopped or halted, and you just need to adjust to it. Dorothy was looking for a physical location, but her three teammates are a different story: The Scarecrow wants intelligence, the Lion wants guts, and The Tin Man wants feelings. The film's central twist is that the characters actually had those traits, and the journey helped them to find these traits and use them to help their buddies out of their various scrapes. Like the ruby slippers are a symbolic representation of Dorothy's inner power, the gifts they get at the end are just symbolic representations of their own capacity to think, love, and stand up to the Big Bad. In the beginning, Kansas is very stifling to Dorothy, hence the sepia shade representing how boring and indifferent it is to her. Oz on the other head is popping with incredibly vibrant colors and constant singing and dancing. This gives the sense of a bright, fresh, and amazing universe that Dorothy is seeing for the first time. However, Oz starts to reveal certain disturbing things, such as the witch and her winged monkeys. Kansas may be dull, but at least it's safe and warming. Furthermore, when Dorothy returns to Kansas, the sepia background looks more stable and less depressing.

Foreshadowing: A very discreet piece of foreshadowing is in "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" in a line between two munchkins, foreshadowing the existence of the three OTHER witches of OZ... The Scarecrow proclaims he's not afraid of anything — "Except a lighted match!" The first time he meets the Wicked Witch she tries to set him on fire, and come the climax she actually succeeds in doing so as he screams in terror. Of course, the incident does not prove as fatal to him as it does to her. All the Kansas characters created for the film are signs and real-life counterparts of the main Oz characters, including Dorothy's companions, The "Wizard" of Oz, and the Wicked Witch of the West.

Leitmotif: Several, other than the ones based on songs made for the film or the Standard Snippets listed below. The Wicked Witch's theme, which is a somewhat inverted minor variation of "We're Off to See the Wizard." It is first heard when Miss Gulch is seen riding her bicycle. This theme is often parodied in popular culture, such as in Pee-wee's Big Adventure and was used as the basis for Candace's theme on Phineas and Ferb. Glinda's six-note theme, first heard over the Lion's roars, and notably accompanying when she comes and goes by bubble. An "Orientale" theme is used for both Professor Marvel and the Wizard. A short march is heard throughout the Emerald City sequences, notably during the exits of the guard and before the Wizard makes his speech in the balloon.

Homage: Ray Bolger was a major fan of Fred Stone, who originally played the Scarecrow in the 1902 musical. His loose-limbed dancing and walk were copied from Stone's characterization. (Stone played the Scarecrow so well that he appeared on stage so motionless for the first act that the audience thought it was a prop, not an actual actor!)

Believing Their Own Lies: True for all three of Dorothy's friends. The Scarecrow says that he doesn't have a brain, but he is actually pretty clever. The Tin Woodsman says that he doesn't have a heart, but he is the most empathic of the trio, and sobs a lot, too. The Cowardly Lion claims that he has no courage, but manages to find it inside him when Dorothy is in danger.

Standard Snippet
 The Wizard of Oz / int_a3f1531b
comment
Standard Snippet: The opening music for the movie (just before the instrumental of "It Really Was No Miracle") uses a snippet of the overture of Tannhäuser. When Dorothy is running home after her encounter with Miss Gulch, the music is a sped-up version of Schumann's Happy Farmer. (If Dorothy is taking piano lessons, that's probably one of her pieces; also, at the moment she is a rather UN-happy farmer!) When Toto escapes from Miss Gulch's basket the German song "Der Deitcher's Dog", better known in English as "O Where O Where Has My Little Dog Gone?" can be heard. When Dorothy and the Scarecrow first approach the apple trees, the 19th century song "In the Shade of an Old Apple Tree" plays. During the escape sequence at the Witch's castle, between the breaking of the door and the Witch's arrival with the hourglass, the soundtrack uses some of Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain. When the Wizard hands the Scarecrow his diploma, "Gaudeamus Igitur," an anthem often indicative of higher education, plays. During the "There's no place like home..." ending, the old parlor song "Home Sweet Home" (aka "Be it ever so humble...") plays, somewhat of a reference to a line from the original Baum novel when Dorothy says, "Be it ever so beautiful, there's no place like home." "Scherzo in E minor" by Felix Mendelssohn is used when Toto is escaping from the Wicked Witch's castle.

Mood Whiplash The movie cuts right from "Over the Rainbow" to Miss Gulch riding in on her bicycle, complete with that music. After first blowing the audience's minds by going from sepia to technicolor and giving one cheerful song after another, everything comes crashing down when the Wicked Witch of the West appears in a flash of fire.

And There Was Much Rejoicing: The death of the Wicked Witch of the East is one of the most famous examples, with the Munchkins breaking out into song and dance over Dorothy's unwitting deed of slaying the witch. And when the Wicked Witch of the West is killed, the Winkies — who up till then had appeared to be her loyal Mooks — are overjoyed at being freed, and start shouting "Hail Dorothy! The Wicked Witch is dead!"note In a deleted scene, they do a reprise of "Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead."

Adaptational Jerkass: This happens with Glinda owing to Composite Character. In the book, the Witch of the North was completely honest that she didn't know what the silver shoes would do but hoped they contained some useful magic. She advised Dorothy to take the shoes but left the choice up to her about if she would or not. At the end, Book Glinda outright says that she wishes that she had met Dorothy sooner to tell her that the shoes would allow her to return to Kansas without a problem, even on the first day she arrived. Movie-Glinda does none of this; she turns the ruby slippers into a Clingy MacGuffin for Dorothy, enchanting them to stick to her feet before Dorothy can as much as make a decision about it. She justifies it as they couldn't fall into the Wicked Witch of the West's hands, but the end result is that the Witch is gunning for an innocent girl instead. Later, the Scarecrow calls out Glinda for not telling Dorothy about the way to get home when revealing she had the solution the whole time, while Glinda says that Dorothy needed to grow up a little first. Needless to say, the trio of men are annoyed on Dorothy's behalf if relieved that she saved them due to going on this journey.

Think of the Children!: The only real demand made by the Hays Office after reviewing the screenplay was to not make the Wicked Witch too scary for children. Funny enough, this was more for economical rather than moral reasons, claiming that it would likely discourage parents from taking their children to see the movie. This "less-scary" Wicked Witch is, even today, still considered one of the more terrifying villains in a kid-appropriate movie.

Informed Flaw: Due to Dorothy's companions not believing in themselves, their actions tend to contrast their words. Though the Scarecrow claims to not have a brain, he is a rather smart character. The "brainless" Scarecrow hatches most of the plots that get the party out of trouble. Though the Tin Man claims to not have a heart, he is shown to be quite Prone to Tears, which is unfortunate since he is a metal man – his tears tend to rust him when he cries. The "heartless" Tin Man has been labeled "the most sensitive character in the history of film.". The Cowardly Lion despite claiming what his name would indicate is brave enough to try to protect Dorothy from the witch instead of abandoning his companions. His eventual courage is a result of Character Development. This characterization was taken from the source material, the book.

The cyclone is a catalyst for change, both in terms of the landscape and in terms of the characters. That Miss Gulch morphs into the Wicked Witch of the West in the middle of it was intentional, along with Dorothy learning the meaning of the phrase "Be Careful What You Wish For". It also stresses the fact that change is inevitable, and can't be stopped or halted, and you just need to adjust to it.

Remaster In 1989, the Kansas portions of the movie had the sepia color scheme restored. Audiences for the theatrical re-releases and TV broadcasts from the previous 40 years had only seen them in plain black and white. After this movie entered Warner Bros.' possession, along with the rest of the pre-1986 MGM library, WB developed a tendency to commission new restorations every few years, as Technology Marches On and fans become able to watch the movie at home in progressively higher resolutions.

Anthropomorphic Shift: In the original books, the Cowardly Lion was an ordinary, quadrupedal lion, as described. In the movie, he's bipedal during almost every scene after his introduction and is able to disguise himself effectively by wearing a Winkie guard uniform.

Informed Attribute All the wonderful things the Wizard of Oz supposedly does. We aren't told about any of them, but the characters tell us repeatedly through song that he is a great wizard among wizards who does wonderful things. It turns out the characters don't know either, and he actually doesn't do anything wonderful and probably never did. The Ruby Slippers. We’re told that their magic is very powerful, so much so that the Wicked Witch goes to great lengths to get her hands on them, but the movie never clearly spells out what it is they can actually do that makes them worth the trouble.

comment
Adaptational Timespan Change: The film seems to take place in the span of a few days at most, with Dorothy not taking much time to walk anyplace, and staying in the Emerald City only briefly on each of her two visits. The book takes place over several weeks: the journey down the Yellow Brick Road takes several days on its own, as do the journeys to and from Winkieland; the visits to the Emerald City also take several days each, mostly due to the Wizard being more effective at keeping unwanted visitors out of his sanctum; and then the time spent in Winkieland is much longer, first due to the Wicked Witch keeping Dorothy captive longer before getting melted and then due to Dorothy and her friends sticking around a while to help put the place to rights. (And this isn't even counting the entire extra quest to find Glinda after the Wizard's departure, which the movie eliminates entirely.)

And You Were There: Again, the Trope Namer. The film's ending is also possibly the most famous example of this trope. Five different people Dorothy knows in Kansas—the three farmhands, Miss Gulch, and Professor Marvel—pop up in her dream of Oz as different people. Interestingly, the idea of having farm hands double as Dorothy's companions from Oz comes from the 1925 Larry Semon adaptation, which the film adopted.

While it doesn't seem like this to the average viewer, some parts are considerably darker than the book. When writing the book, Baum explicitly said that he wanted to make a story with all the wonder of a classic fairy tale but none of the horror and tragedy. By contrast, the movie features Toto getting sentenced to death, as well as Dorothy and her friends nearly getting killed by the Witch and her minions several times. Instead of the book's comical Witch, the movie's Witch is a genuinely scary villain with obvious sadistic tendencies. And instead of being neutral creatures answering to the Witch's three wishes, the movie's flying monkeys are eerily silent monstrosities who serve the Witch as mindless slaves.

Boring Return Journey
 The Wizard of Oz / int_cd30716e
comment
The cap with which the Wicked Witch of the West is shown gesturing at Nikko (just before the witch flies off to the Emerald City) is the same cap she uses in the book to control the Flying Monkeys. The reason this was never revealed (aside from not wanting to add in unnecessary explanations) is because the cap in the book can only be used three times by any one person, which would make the audience question whether or not the Witch still has enough uses left when she captures Dorothy.note Also, emphasizing the cap's magic would make it more likely that the audience would conclude Dorothy uses it to command the monkeys to fly her and her companions back to the Emerald City, thus explaining the swift Boring Return Journey. This is, in fact, what occurs in the book...but the filmmakers may have been worried how it would look for the young heroine to use magic to compel the monkeys the same way the villain did. Instead it is left ambiguous, and the audience can conclude that after the monkeys are freed by the Witch's death, they fly Dorothy and the others back voluntarily out of gratitude.

Lighter and Softer: In some regards, though a few elements are also noticeably darker than in the book. In particular, Dorothy and her companions come off as a bit more innocent here, whereas the book featured them occasionally having to use violence to overcome the odds against them (the book has them outright killing the animals that the Witch sends against them, and it includes a scene where the Cowardly Lion proves his courage by killing a monster in its sleep). The Tin Man's grisly origin, where he got his metal body after a magic spell cursed him to hack off his limbs, is also never brought up in the movie.

Roaring Rampage of Revenge
 The Wizard of Oz / int_ceec4df5
comment
The heroes are cornered, surrounded by all the guards of the Wicked Witch of the West. The Witch herself, gloating in victory, lights the Scarecrow on fire and Dorothy tosses a bucket of water to put him out, some of it splashing the Witch. Lo and behold, water turns out to be the Witch's weakness and she suddenly begins melting for no explainable reason. All those guards that surround the heroes don't go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, but instead they are all cheering that she is dead. It makes one wonder why they didn't splash some water on her themselves if they hated her so much (they may not have known her weakness), or why the Witch kept such a lethal substance lying around in the castle (gotta clean the floor somehow). The melting is taken from the book (which did offer a plausible explanation for the bucket's presence), with the movie giving Dorothy a more direct reason to throw the bucket of water. There may have been mind control involved; some stage plays include the witch mentioning that she put the Winkies under a spell.

Bad People Abuse Animals: Every second Miss Gulch spends on-screen, she is a completely awful harpy. But what truly cements her is her desire to have Toto put down by claiming he bit her, when - according to Dorothy - all he did was chase her cat.note Not entirely accurate. She says Toto "didn't mean to bite her". She would still be awful regardless, but once again, she wants Toto dead just because she hates him. The biting is providing her with an excuse.

Adaptational Wimp: The Cowardly Lion. In the book he was a self-admitted coward but could hide it by roaring loud enough to intimidate most foes. When he encountered foes who weren't so easily scared, he was perfectly willing to fight for the safety of his friends... even if he was scared to death of doing it. The movie version has gone through severe Character Exaggeration and has to be dragged kicking and screaming into any situation that looks even remotely scary.

Writers Cannot Do Math: As pointed out on The Simpsons, the Scarecrow gets the Pythagorean theorem wrong after he gets his brain: "The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side." Correctly, the theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse of a RIGHT triangle equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides.note If one wants a theorem relating any side of a triangle with the other two sides, one needs the Law of Cosines. Two sides of an isosceles triangle are always equal to one another, so what Scarecrow says is never correct. (Since the joke of the scene is that the Scarecrow hasn't really been given a brain at all, this actually works quite well; he's saying something that he thinks sounds intelligent, but he has no more knowledge of geometry than he did before.)

Dangerously Garish Environment: The poppy field has brightly-colored flowers, but the flowers are enchanted to put Dorothy, Toto, and the Cowardly Lion to sleep.

The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You
 The Wizard of Oz / int_e0c470a1
comment
The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: When Dorothy is trapped in the Witch's castle, she sees an image of Aunt Em looking around for her in the Witch's crystal ball. Dorothy futilely tries to call out to her, but Aunt Em's image is replaced by the Wicked Witch, who mocks Dorothy and then turns to cackle directly at the audience, as if to say "I'm coming for you next!"

Ambiguously Gay: The Cowardly Lion. His rendition of "If I Only Had the Nerve" includes the line "I'm afraid there's no denying/I'm just a dandy lion" (with a wave of his arm) as well as a line where he claims to have been "born to be a sissy." He sings much of "If I Were King of the Forest" (not Queen. Not Duke. Not Prince.) with a lispy voice. He also displays visible delight with his primping makeover, during which he is given a hair bow (it's also performed by female workers, in contrast to everyone else who is made over by people of their own respective sexes).

Protective Charm
 The Wizard of Oz / int_e3613529
comment
Because Glinda and the Good Witch of the North are combined into one character, the moment when she kisses Dorothy on the forehead before departing is a reference to the Witch of the North doing so in the book. The implication is that this kiss had the same protective power, and explains why Dorothy can't be harmed by the Wicked Witch of the West (or anyone else) just as much as the slippers keep her safe.

Composite Character: In the original novel, Dorothy is given her mission upon arriving by the Witch of the North, and doesn't meet Glinda, the Witch of the South, until the conclusion. In this version, Glinda combines the roles of both the benevolent witches. Glinda also takes on the role of the Snow Queen (a character from one of Baum's stage plays), sending a snowfall to save Dorothy, Toto, and the Lion from the poppy fields. In the original book, the Scarecrow and Tin-Man carry Dorothy out and the Lion is eventually pulled out by a huge team of field mice, on a wooden cart made by the Tin Man.

Seeking the Intangible
 The Wizard of Oz / int_e4ede8c9
comment
Seeking the Intangible: Each of the central characters spends the story searching for something they feel they lack. Dorothy wants to find home, the Scarecrow wants a brain, the Tin Man wants a heart, and the Cowardly Lion wants...courage. When they all receive representations of their desires in the end, the Lion can only be given a medal verifying his bravery, since it's not a tangible item (though the Scarecrow also doesn't get a physical brain for obvious reasons, and the Tin Man gets a heart-shaped watch). As for Dorothy, they try to send her home in a balloon, but it doesn't work. Luckily, there is a reveal that the ruby slippers she was given at the beginning of the film are magic and could have always taken her home.

Hate Sink: Almira Gulch is Dorothy Gale, Aunt Em, and Uncle Henry's contemptible neighbor. She is an abhorrent Rich Bitch who owns half the county, but in her mind she owns all of it, and believes she can do whatever she wants. She attempts to euthanize poor Toto simply for chasing her cat and biting her leg one time. Lacking any of the hamminess and Ax-Crazy charm of the Wicked Witch of the West, Miss Gulch makes the most of her small screentime to hammer in her status as the most unlikable character in the entire film.

Red/Green Contrast: Aside from the deadly poppy fields surrounding Emerald City, the magical ruby slippers that Dorothy is wearing give a striking contrast to the all-green setting of the city. Dorothy is between the conflict between the all-pink Glinda the Good and the green-skinned Wicked Witch of the West.

comment
Exact Words: In this version, the Wizard doesn't actually demand that Dorothy and her companions act as assassins (as he does in the novel), he merely demands they bring her broomstick. The majesty and formality of the Wizard virtually require him to request the broomstick, rather than outright request her killing, just as the majesty and formality requires the Wizard to refer to her as "The Witch of the West," omitting "Wicked." Of course, they realize that his intent is for them to kill her, as they would never get it any other way.

All Just a Dream
 The Wizard of Oz / int_ea85d6ea
comment
All Just a Dream: Unlike in the original books. The reason why it was changed for the film was because MGM felt that 1930's audiences were too sophisticated to accept Oz as a straight ahead fantasy, so they made it as a lengthy, elaborate dream, instead. Though some could argue Dorothy's slippers made everybody else think it was a dream of Dorothy's.

0% Approval Rating: Absolutely no one is upset when either Wicked Witch is killed. The Munchkins, of course, sing "Ding Dong, The Witch is Dead", and when the other Wicked Witch is killed, the Winkie guards (who were seemingly her loyal followers) are ecstatic.note They do a reprise of “Ding Dong, The Witch is Deadâ€� in a deleted scene.

Dream Ballet: The end of "If I Were King of the Forest," in which Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion reenact what the Lion's coronation as King of the Forest would look like. An unusual example in that the setting does not shift for this one, and besides, it may be part of an even bigger dream anyway.
