The Wizard Of Oz

The Wizard Of Oz didn't start out as a hit. It became a hit years later. What's not to love? Fantasy. Good characters. I would love a talking lion for a friend. The scarecrow was sweet. The tinman was nice. Dorothy and Toto. I loved Toto. I love Dorothy .The wicked witch. I didn't like her. I think she lives on the other road from me. Glenda. A sweet witch. Dorothys aunt and uncle. Mom and I lived with my grandparents when my father was in Vietnam. I stayed with my grandparents every summer.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Don't we all want a beautiful, perfect place over the rainbow? I do. I love when Dorothy sings the song and Toto jumps on the tractor seat. Toto reaches out to Dorothy with his paw and she pets him. We played this song at Mom's funeral. Mom loved this movie.

The tornado scene. Fake but scary. I live in Indiana. We get tornado warnings and watches but I have never seen one.

The Munchkins. Cute. They are sweet and entertaining.

Frank Baum, the author of The Wizard Of Oz used to stay with his son at a lake by me and named the dog Toto because of a town by me. How neat is that?

There's No Place Like Home. So true. Dorothy was glad to get home. I always cry at the end.

The Wizard of Oz is a favorite with me. Fantasy. Cute songs. Toto, the cute little dog. Talking trees. Emerald City. The cool kitchen. The winged monkeys. I love them. The palace guards. Their neat little song. The Witch. She was mean. The movie is entertaining. This movie has something for everyone. I love this movie. I have collectible books, Wizard Of Oz Snow babies, Toto ceramic planter, dolls, Hallmark ornaments. I really do love this movie. Okay. Did I leave anything out?
