The Iron Giant - the movie totally levels up the book, provides a much richer story. Also Chitty Chitty Bang Bang; each version is kinda unique, and works in their own way.
Actually, Dorothy does say "There's No Place Like Home" in the book. However, she says it to the Witch of the North (not Glinda; in the book, she was the Witch of the South) while in Munchkinland at the beginning of the book.
@@disneyfan8178 I like when the characters later on in the book ask her why she wants to go back to Kansas so badly, because it sounds absolutely terrible.
@@multiverseman4017 (Besides giving her a better "contrast" with her costume - allegedly) She was made green in the movie for the same reason silver slippers was turned ruby, she'd 'stand out' more in the technicolor movie.
I don't think the name Tattypoo appears in the original book - it was introduced by Baum much later. In the book she was just called the Witch of the North
Liza Minelli also lent her voice to play Dorothy Gale in the 1972 animated film “Journey Back to Oz” which was a sequel to the 1939 classic “The Wizard of Oz!!!”
Liza was also married to Jack Haley Jr. who was the son of the legendary actor Jack Haley who portrayed the Tin Man in the original 1939 classic “The Wizard of Oz.”Unfortunately both have divorced and Jack Jr. died in 2001.As of now,only Liza is still very much alive!!!
Nothing like having both the mother(Judy Garland) and the daughter(Liza Minnelli)portraying the very same role(Dorothy Gale)in two different movies(1939 “The Wizard of Oz” and 1972 “Journey Back to Oz”)!!!
interesting. according to Chinese 5 element. East is Blue, West is White, South is Red, North is Black, and center is Yellow. also, coincidentally (or not). Red Sea is located South of Israel, Black Sea to the North, Mediterranean is called White Sea, and Caspian Sea is sometimes called Blue Sea.
All we need now is an allusion of the munchkins to Arabian folk(or any other minority group of the time) and suddenly Wizard of Oz feels even more like a collonialism book series: An American con-man flying to the middle east by air balloon, playing wizard for people to fear him and claiming their land. ... It would be more likely if actual magic and witches wasn't in the mix lol.
@williamdogan1149 Except for Borrowing The Ruby Slippers "Return to Oz" was! It isn't a sequel to the Garland film despite common misconception. That is why Dorothy is younger.
I read a long time ago. That the book was about the Populist movement of the late 1800s. And the silver slippers are a metaphor for silver based of monetary systems. The movie is more based on the plays.
Glinda isn’t even the witch that appears when Dorothy arrives in Oz. She’s a completely different character. Glinda doesn’t make her appearance until after the Wizard leaves. And the group has to go to her rather than her just showing up. 😁
Sam Raimi's 2013 prequal dives into some of the Oz lore that the original didn't even touch on. Regardless, it's worth a watch at least once if you haven't bothered already.
It is actually not true that the Scarecrow's fear of fire is not stated in the book. At the end of chapter 3 he states that there is only one thing in the world he is afraid of...a lighted match.
@ in the books, the tin woodsman is Nick Chopper, a winkie and a rather clumsy woodsman. He chopped off his foot in an accident, so he made a tin one to replace it. Chopped off an arm, so he made a tin one to replace it. Chopped off his head (somehow) and made a tin one to replace that. Basically this went in and on until nothing of him remained, and everything had been replaced by tin. No magic, just weird Oz dream logic. In the later books, we find out he has a ling lost love, a Winkie girl that they try to get him back together with,but he’s insecure for obvious reasons. The scarecrow was just a scarecrow. Much much much later, like 25 years later, it was retconned that an emperor had died on the spot and left a curse or something that whatever was placed on that spot would eventually be possessed by him. Many centuries later, a farmer jammed a pole into the ground and the scarecrow was hung in it, and was possessed by the dead king, but had no memory of who or what he was because he didn’t have a brain. This contradicts stuff from the earlier books, however.
@mahatmarandy5977 i know. But Wicked the musical is not Canon to the book. Its canon to the MGM film. So that stuff is no longer relevant. Their backstories are different.
#2... "The book is not a musical." Um, yeah... I can't recall the last time I read a singing book. How about #70... the book doesn't have any cinematography.
What’s your favourite movie based on a book?
The Neverending Story. Don't care what anyone says. The movie is better.
The Iron Giant - the movie totally levels up the book, provides a much richer story.
Also Chitty Chitty Bang Bang; each version is kinda unique, and works in their own way.

Actually, no, she doesn't. That was made Just for the movie.

@@BlairBart-gu7fnshe tells it to Scarecrow.
@@mahatmarandy5977the Muppet version did that too.
The Scarecrow does mention being afraid of fire in the book.
I don't recall the Witch of the West being green in the book.
She wasn’t. In fact, they never specified what color she was in the book, I think they just said that she had one eye.
@@multiverseman4017 (Besides giving her a better "contrast" with her costume - allegedly) She was made green in the movie for the same reason silver slippers was turned ruby, she'd 'stand out' more in the technicolor movie.
The gold cap that controls the monkeys was originally in the movie but was cut and there is still one scene where she has the golden cap in her hands
In The Muppet version it’s a biker cap.
There's really Glinda in the book, later on. The Good Witch of North is called Tattypoo from around the beginning.
I don't think the name Tattypoo appears in the original book - it was introduced by Baum much later. In the book she was just called the Witch of the North
What I thought was really an improvement: In the book, the wizard gave them placebos, in the movie he gave them recognition.
In the book he gave them BOTH, Dumbass. The book still has them have what they thought they didn't have all along.
I recently read the book for the first time. This was great to watch!
Thanks 😊. Did you enjoy the book?
@@LoweQualityTomThe Muppet version has a lot more scenes from the book and the Little Fox version is almost identical.
2:39 sounds like a negative overstatement to me

It would be more likely if actual magic and witches wasn't in the mix lol.
It would be fun to have a movie made based strictly based on the book; not a musical. Using Denslow’s illustrations as the scenery style.
It’s public domain so we can just do it already lol
@williamdogan1149

IMO, L Frank Baum's series of books are a better, that said, the movie is a very good adaption. 🎉
69 differences? Nice.

I hope if wicked is successful, we get all the books made into a movie universe

5:16: to Glinda’s castle

There were those grumpy apple trees that threw apples at them. They couldn't move and were able to hold on to Dorothy. But I did enjoy your video.
Wrong, they could move their limbs.
It is actually not true that the Scarecrow's fear of fire is not stated in the book. At the end of chapter 3 he states that there is only one thing in the world he is afraid of...a lighted match.
IIRC, they don’t go into the Tin Man’s love life in the book. They get to that in one of the much later sequels
That's because in the movie, unlike the book, the Tin Man is really Boq turned to tin by the Witch.
@ Boq?
@mahatmarandy5977 yes. Boq the Munchkin. Just as the Scarecrow is Fiyero under the Witch's spell to save his life.
You gotta see Wicked.

The one about the actors almost dying is crazy
The Fighting Trees weren’t omitted from the movie. They just appeared earlier.
I didn't think the apple trees and fighting trees were the same thing
I feel so bad for actors while filming this movie
Also The Tin Man has a name. Nick Chopper. 🤓😎✌🏻
Yup. He has a name in the film too. At least the real world counter part. It's Hickory. Book is Nick Chopper.
Muppets wizard of oz has silver shoes also
She was 16?? And they did that to her??
Linda Blair was 14 when she did The Exorcist. That was really messed up.
Judy was Molested by Meyer- the second M in "MGM".
Teal allergic to asbestos lmao
The Muppet version has more scenes from the book.
3:33: you mean tin man
I prefer the book.
Wrong. The movie is darker than the book.
The book is one of my all-time favorites. Honestly can’t stand the movie.
Movie.
#2... "The book is not a musical." Um, yeah... I can't recall the last time I read a singing book. How about #70... the book doesn't have any cinematography.
who real cares
I prefer The Wiz!🪄
