    Don't Forget Ray Bolger, the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz 1939 movie, returned his old role in this record.

    Martha Wentworh was the voice of Blinkie and Mad Madam Mim. She did several voices for Disney including the WItch on their "Hansel and Gretel" LP. Robbie Lester is the voice of Glinda, although she was Dorothy on all the other Disney LPs.

    This "Scarecrow of Oz" Storyteller LP (featuring an 11 page full-color storybook) actually predates the rest of the series (of 4, total), produced in 1965 starring Ray Bolger and other voice actors (Robie Lester as Glinda and Button Bright, Martha Wentworth as Blinkie, Pamela Shannon as Trot, Sam Edwards as Cap'n Bill). The song "Happy Glow" was written for this recording, and it is sung by Bill Lee. It's a fairly faithful, if vastly condensed re-telling of Baum's 9th Oz book, but it isn't really a continuing part of the above series; it's more a work on its own. Johnny Johnson, who headed the Disney music department decided to take advantage of the fact that Disney owned all of the OZ books by Baum at this point, although they lay dormant in their property files. Disney put out "The Wizard of Oz" in 1969 with the a great studio voice cast (Robie Lester, Dallas McKennon, Sam Edwards, Ginnie Tyler) with the famous First OZ Story intact, accompanied by a half-dozen songs from the MGM movie. Their next effort in this format was "The Cowardly Lion of Oz" in 1970 whose story was an original one (although it denotes being based upon Ruth Plumly Thompson's book of the same name, it is not. It"s a cute story, but not based on anything by Baum or Thompson). Next (and last) came 'The Tin Woodman of Oz" in circa 1971 again, with the same great voice cast (plus a pre-"Happy Days" Ron Howard) and a couple of new songs. This Storyteller LP was actually based on the book of the same name by L. Frank Baum, although they did a cute job of wrapping everything up for a "happily ever after" ultimate happy ending. They are really lovely recordings and very Ozzy, also a very strong part of my own childhood.

    26:29 Ray: “I hope all of you will visit me.. in Oz someday...”
    Me: Don’t worry, Ray, I will. :) But if Judy Garland isn’t there as Dorothy for me to get her autograph and meet her, I’m not coming.” XD
    But seriously, where was Judy during the recordings of this back then? It was such a missed opportunity for her to reprise her role as Dorothy again for this. :( (I’m sorry to say it, but whoever voiced her here just doesn’t feel the same. Judy would of made it way better. :)

      Dorothy wasn’t in this book- or this recording of it. Trot, Pon, Gloria, and Button-Bright are the children in this. I do agree that Judy Garland holds her place in my heart as the best Dorothy Gale and nothing related to Wizard of Oz isn’t the same without her.

      The singing voice of "Happy Glow" is Bill Lee. He also provided the singing voice for Christopher Plummer in "The Sound of Music" and for John Kerr in "South Pacific"... He also did the voices for several of the singing farm animals in the Disney film "Mary Poppins."

    • @jasonthequiet
      @jasonthequiet  7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Baum spelled his 'orks', and I'm not sure where he got the word. The Scarecrow of Oz was published about 40 years prior to The Lord of the Rings.

      "The Scarecrow of Oz" with its Orks was published in 1915. "The Fellowship of the Ring" with its orcs was published in 1954. You do the math.
      Besides, Tolkien took the name "orc" from the ancient word from which we also get the term "ogre."
