To hear Judy Garland cry/singing "Over the Rainbow" is absolutely heartbreaking.
That’s why they deleted it.
@@silverfalkon9687 I thought they didn’t have enough time
@@mindyballz That’s what I thought too
I agree. Hearing it almost felt like I was understanding her sadness in the song and it got me emotional.
It almost sound like Judy was really crying in that audio. It makes me want to cry😭.
Everyone saying Dorothy cries so much, she’s a supposed to be a “12” year old, she’s been whisked away from her home, she has a wicked witch after her, and she fears her aunt may be dieing, she cries because she’s homesick. Leave her be. >:c
It's only odd cuz shes so much older. The crying is one the aspect that doesn't play well because of this. Your head kNOWS she older so it messes with you lol but yes realistically shes only a kid lol
Not to mention in this scene this witch is basically saying she's going to die
Nobody said that lmao
Anybody would cry if they are lost in a whole different world and are in menace to die.
16 or so. That's how old she's supposed to be.
To think studio executives were worried the film would drag on too long. It's always gone by so quickly for me. "My, this film comes and goes so quickly around here".
I don't think that was really the issue; after all, this same studio also released _Gone With the Wind,_ which was just a couple minutes shy of four hours long. But the real reason never really has been confirmed.
He he he he he he
@@brianschwartz1372 ?
@@MaskedMan66 supposed to be a munchkin laugh in response to the film coming and going so quickly.
@@brianschwartz1372 Ah! Of course. With you now. 🙂
Margaret Hamilton did a SENSATIONAL job. Fully half of her footage was cut out. The studio was afraid her performance was SO POWERFUL, it would terrify the young viewers.
Years later, Ms. Hamilton reprised her role on an episode of Sesame Street. That episode was banned after only 1 showing. Because parents reported how their pre-schoolers were terrified.
So, Mr. Rodgers invited her onto his show. To let the kids see she was really just a person. An actress, playing a role. That in real life she was a kindly old lady. Like a loving grandmother.
I grew up seeing her as the snoopy neighbor, on "Sigmund and The Sea Monsters". Saturday mornings.
EVERY time I hear Judy sing her signature song, I CRY. And I am a grown man of 65 !
"Years later, Ms. Hamilton reprised her role on an episode of Sesame Street. That episode was banned after only 1 showing. Because parents reported how their pre-schoolers were terrified. So, Mr. Rodgers (sic) invited her onto his show."
That would have been a neat trick, because her appearance on MRN was the year before her appearance on "Sesame Street."
would love to see or hear some of the cut scenes, they were very violent and perhaps were TOO scary, but wow would be fab to Hera the outtakes, did any survive? 8 saw some of th lines cut in a script version, they were very scary and direct death threats to Dorothy
Only a few lines of dialogue were removed; at most, 5% of her part was cut, and that's overestimating.
Strange because children were not afraid of Grotbags
When the Wicked Witch Of The West turned to the camera at 5:53 when I watched the movie when I was a kid I was scared to death because it was like she was looking and cackling at me. In fact I used to run out of the room and hide under a table in fear of that scene. This is the story of my life. Used to be happy only to go downhill years later.
That bit used to scare me too
The witch is some troll. She puts on a relaxing video of Auntie Em, just so she can jump scare Dorothy.
Aaendi well it worked on me when I was a kid. I mean I was scared shitless.
That scared me to death as kid as well!
Abigail and Olivia Vlogs damn I definitely wasn’t alone on that one. Just like I’m not the only one who is depressed and complaining about the end of Equestria Girls which I’m pretty sure was because of COPPA.
Classic film. Movies like this aren't made anymore.
The reprisal is so chilling honestly
How do you figure it for "chilling?"
@@MaskedMan66 I feel like this should have been left in the film because it fits this scene perfectly. Judy Garland was such a rare talent & hearing her sing and cry is very believeable
@@bradyryan5105It's never been documented, but I'm of the opinion that she was a prodigy.
How much more powerful this scene would have been..
Ah Judy, what can you say that hasn't been said already. Makes us cry, even grown ups. So lovely and unique. R.I.P. spiritual Mama, deserves peace
They should have left that in, it's very touching. Thank you for making this, it's awesome!
Agreed. I'm glad we have the audio
Nice!! Actually I read (on IMDB) that Judy sang the song during this deleted scene live and made her and the crew reduced to tears.
Yeah, but that's what retakes are for.
@@MaskedMan66 Huh? What does retakes have to do with what I wrote? I was saying it was a touching scene when she sang it live....
@@mrbrownroyyal Yes, and I was saying that if people broke down during a take of it, then they could do another take once everyone had collected themselves.
@@MaskedMan66 Oh ok lol my fault
@@mrbrownroyyal No worries! :-)
I bet Margaret was probably crying to herself if she overheard Judy singing the reprise of "Rainbow.", especially since she loved Judy like a daughter.
She might not have been on the set when they were doing that bit.
WOW! THE LEVEL OF MORBIDITY BEHIND THE SONG REALLY SHINES THROUGH IN THIS RENDITION.
I just had the chills and goosebumps listening to this version. This song has meant so much to so many ppl.
I've loved 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow" since my old elementary school did a production of The Wizard of Oz'.
More recently, I was asked to sing this song at a very special friend's mother's funeral. My friend's mother, living well into her 90's, also LOVED THIS SONG.
"Morbidity?" Explain.
Andrew Lloyd Webber (yes, the man who created the stage versions of the Phantom of the Opera, Cats, etc.) created a full length stage musical of this movie in 2011, and this scene was included. The wicked witch and the winkie guards had a big dance number and the witch had a reprise of her solo Red Shoes Blues (written specifically for the musical); it was like a big celebration of Dorothy being captured. After the number, the witch took Dorothy to her "prison" and gave her the "See that? That's how much longer you've got to be alive" spiel , after-which Dorothy would sing a short reprise of Over the Rainbow. There wasn't a jump to the three friends finding the castle, Dorothy would sing the reprise and then here would be a transition to the three friends finding the castle .
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wizard_of_Oz_(2011_musical)#Musical_numbers
The Royal Shakespeare Company adapted the MGM movie for the stage in the 1980's, long before ALW's.... thingummy. In that, all the removed songs are restored.
Why do I always get hungry for cookies watching this
Idk maybe it’s the guards yelling “OREO, YO-HO!”
@@LydiaMohr It's "Oh-Ee-Yah! Eo-Ah!"
Alright I'll go in there for Dorothy. Wicked witch or no wicked witch. Guards or no guards I'll tear em apart. Ruff!
I may not come out alive-- but I'm goin' in there! And there's only one thing I want you fellas to do.
@@MaskedMan66 Talk me out of it!!
@@jking0.o121 :-3
@@MaskedMan66 Whats that?
@@carsonsmovieworld3356 (Someone already jumped the gun on that one, but as it's one of my favorite lines, I'll say it anyway)
Talk me out of it!
Ok, so I knew about the Scarecrow’s extended dance scene & the jitterbug, but I had no clue about Dorothy’s reprise in the castle 😳! They should’ve never tampered with the idea of removing any of them 😭 I bet they didn’t believe it would become more than a “kids movie” at the time. My mother and I watch it constantly. It’s a classic no matter what age. Thank you for your video!
It wasn't a kids' movie, it was a family film.
thats actually really clever! the movements in the animated parts are a little bit jerky and artificial as they are just the two stills from the deleted scene, but its a good reconstruction nonetheless. i can see how this could be how the scene would play out, and the final footage does match up nicely with the audio.
nice work!
Thank you Scoot, i’ve got a feeling that in the original cut judging from the soundtrack, that after Dorothy banging on the door, we would’ve cut back to Toto reuniting with the rest of the gang after the monkey attack, but just trying to squirt around showing extensive clips from the movie on TH-cam I had to cut it down, anyway I’m glad you still liked it.
I think they are 3 Film Stills .
I'm going to play devil's advocate here, and say that I can understand why this was cut. In one way I think including a reprise of the song at this darkest moment in the picture is an inspired idea, showing us Dorothy thinking fondly of home so-to-speak, trying to find some comfort in her situation. However on the other hand as she is crying at the same time as she's singing, I found it rather hard to make out what she was singing beyond the first phrase or so. Also, Judy acts this scene so well, I think very very few actors/actresses can cry convincingly, and for her to do it at such a young age shows the remarkable extent of her talent. But she does act this scene so well that it's actually a little bit upsetting, at least I've always found it so. Sounds daft given it's a fantasy story, but to me her fear and distress are so palpable. I can therefore understand not wanting that scene to overrun given it was a childrens' film. Or am I just a big softy? haha
The words are the same as when she first sings it in the film, and in any case, this is only one take. And it was a family film, not a kiddie matinee.
Great job! Thank you for making this. I think this is so much better than what made the final. I really wish they had not deleted this and the celebration/Wicked Witch Is Dead reprisal at the end. It's somewhat interesting how different eras will view the most minute of things differently. Two hours is a normal movie run time today, not at all strange. By deleting these scenes, I feel the movie never reached its full potential even though it is a beloved classic. As a kid, I of course didn't notice it, but as an adult, I realized how much the film lacks cohesion in so many areas. Having researched it, now I know why.
In your other documentary, you mentioned using animation to complete the lost scenes. In today's world of CGI, this is entirely possible to create. I don't know what studio would bother to take on the task, but I would absolutely buy a version that re-added in these lost scenes and musical numbers using CGI animation to recreate the footage.
There wasn't a reprisal of "Ding! Dong!" at the end.
@@MaskedMan66 there was, but it was cut. only fragments of the footage still exists, no audio sadly.
@@bradyryan5105 No, there was a reprisal when the gang got back to the Emerald City.
@@MaskedMan66 that's what I'm talking about. that reprisal was cut.
@@bradyryan5105 Ah, okay. It would have been weird in the extreme to use it at the end.
Well done, and thank you. They should have left it in. Even now, it moved me to tears.
Great job here. I always am amazed how these scenes were cut from the film. I feel this scene and The Jitterbug were too big of importance to cut out from the film. The scene leading into The Jitterbug is in the final cut, but no sign of the creature the witch speaks of, which of course explains it. I know thee was talk it would date the movie, but still would have been nice to see added in. At least there is some footage with a recording of it. Glad the audio for this scene and many others survived. Wish the video did too. Maybe one day it will appear. Great job again for your work here.
dating a movie that survived ALL this time...lol if only theyd KNOWN ;) Jitterbugs fits because it's part of the story... I guess witchey poo sends it to slow them down and tire them out from dancing when the minkeys attack. Makes perfect sense to me. I also with the Ding Dong reprise had been put back in. This crying number can suck it - it's not missed but those two others are imo. I'd bet money there is a copy of the full movie somewhere in a tin out there. Someone prob thinks it's a theatrical print.
@@DJRitty Indeed, and what's more, a lot of the critics at the time thought that the vaudevillian banter from Dorothy's three friends and the characters played by Frank Morgan was already "old hat."
I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS. NO WAY THIS IS DELETED
Same! I don’t know if it was from my DVD or somewhere else though.
You just remember the original scene I'm pretty sure
It was taken out of the movie in 1939 before release. There's no way you could have seen it.
So well done! You really knew the music cues and how to piece them together. This was really impressive and I thank you for giving us a good approximation of how close we'll ever come to seeing this scene restored. Now let's discuss the Jitterbug and the Triumphal Procession....:)
The cut scene that I'd really love to see is the "rainbow bridge" sequence, in which the witch creates an enchanted rainbow reaching from Dorothy's tower to another and lures her out onto it by showing her an apparition similar to the Auntie Em crystal ball appearance of her three friends in the opposite window urging her to come to them. There is a deadly mass of thorns and brambles under the bridge that Dorothy is in danger of falling into when the witch makes the bridge start to disappear under her feet, but the ruby slippers glowingly come to life and carry her over quickly enough to reach safety in time. I don't know if it was ever shot, or cut from the script before that point, but it's certainly a creative scenario.
WOW, I’ve never heard of THAT deleted scene! That I definitely have to see sometime, if it’s ever available!
You know, for so long I could never understand how the witch was able to quickly replace Auntie Em in the crystal ball, once Dorothy responds to her aunt’s call. Then after I was grown up and saw the horror movie Sometimes they come back-the scene where the one ghost punk, or greaser, imitates the dads voice when he calls for Jim’s(Jimmy’s) young son Scotty, and Scotty realizes it was a trick(it was not his dad calling him, but the punk disguising his voice), that’s when I thought,”Hmm..maybe that’s what the witch of the west does in wizard of Oz when Dorothy hears and sees aunt Em in the crystal ball, then the witch cackling like crazy seconds later-the witch may have “decoyed” herself as Aunt Em so as to play a sick joke on Dorothy.) Possible and plausible, considering the witch’s evil supernatural powers, but I think what really happens is the crystal ball first enables Dorothy to hear and see her aunt back home in Kansas calling her while looking for her, and then once Dorothy desperately responds to her calls, is when the witch plays her sick mind game on Dorothy.
@@k.robertrichardson6779 It was never shot; it would have been too expensive.
@@MrJamieMurph4141969 Em was totally an illusion.
@@MaskedMan66I think the illusion of Aunt Em was the wicked witch torturing Dorothy, which is even more sinister
This is a really lovely glimpse. Thank you. The longer scene punches a much bigger punch, I'm bummed they cut it.
All the deleted tunes were restored in the stage version created by the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1988.
i defo can remember this scene from late 80s to early 90s on BBC TV edition where Over the Rainbow was sung and she was crying singing as she was trapped in the castle this way, I'm not making it up, unfortunately i have not proof as didn't record it, but there was lots of scenes deleted in time since mid 90s, and vanished now people may think it a mandela effect but the original did say fly my pretty fly, also the original cut was 120 mins long! now it dropped by nearly 20mins,
Glitch in the Matrix
@@Fortaz107 yeah i agree, it a glitch in the matrix, or deleted now - cut out, me and my family can remember in the early 90s seeing her sing this on Wizard of Oz, it was very emotional, and can recall the scene so well, also the version i seen on TV was 2 Hours long! without Ad. back in 1993.
Liar. Don't try to deny it. Logic and common sense are against you.
@@Fortaz107 He's been telling this lie for years.
Bet as soon as Victor Fleming yelled "cut" Margret probably found Judy and hugged her.
Why? Judy was just acting.
Ugh! Stop over-sentimentalizing their relationship. Makes me want to puke! They were actresses. That's how it goes!
@@user-jg1ei4kc6e They were good friends, and Miss Hamilton did care about Judy. That's the truth.
Julia Louis Dreyfus talks about this scene in her interview with Bonnie Raitt and that borough the here. Touching, very.
Someone should make a deepfake of this scene
The technology is there. As they did with Peter Cushing and Carrie Fisher in "Rogue One," actors in costume could go through the motions on either a recreated set or just against a green screen with the original set image behind them, then have mocap masks put on them.
What's wrong with a blue screen? Dumbass!!!!!
Sadly, nobody can look like or mimic Judy Garland
@@bradyryan5105 You'd be surprised how many lookalikes there are, and there are also many impressionists who capably recreate her mannerisms. Ariana Grande does a rather good impression. And like I said, the idea would be to use the original vocal track and have someone with a CGI "mask" of Judy on.
Wowww..I got goose bumps hearing this...why was this cut??? But awesome we get to hear and see this...ty for posting... Salute to Miss Garland...God speed.
Thank you I quote enjoyed that
Really awesome!!!!!
🎶Oh I wish upon a star. I hope my friends are not too farrrrrrr!!!!🎶 (scene fades to scarecrow ,lion and tin man).
This would have made the movie even more emotional. That scene shouldn’t have been cut from the movie.
Terrific reconstruction you got yourself a new subscriber congratulations
Congrats you win a new subscriber!
Excellent!!!
When the Chrystal ball reveals auntie me and the wicked witch, does that foreshadow the actress of the wicked witch doing the voice of auntie me in the next Oz book 35 years later?
Aunt Em.
I like the reconstruction! Great job! God bless!
I got laughed at back when I was living in Camden at the library when I was singing and some kids was laughing and mocking me and one person posted the video on Facebook and wrote 15 mean comments instead of nice comments about me and I was embarrassed and upset about it no one likes my talent I like to sing a lot while listening to music and singing along and dancing too any positive advice for me about my situation please I need a new friend someone who’ll accept me for who I am and not judge me just because I’m different from other people please how can I find my happily ever after any advice for me I love this movie ever since I saw this movie on dvd and my aunt has it on tape I just wanna give Dorothy a big hug and tell her everything’s gonna be okay and that you’ll see your auntie em and uncle Henry again and I’m sure Toto and the scarecrow and tin man and lion will come to your rescue and you’ll find your way home again
You're supposed to keep quiet when you're in a library.
It really sucks that the MGM fire destroyed all the deleted scenes of the Wizard of Oz.
Supposedly. It’s believed that the actual footage of the most of deleted scenes was destroyed in the fire that happened in the MGM vault back in 1967. Although, this has never officially been confirmed
@@superjackster0165 I think only the extended scarecrow scene survived.
Actually, most unused footage was destroyed as soon as the film was completed.
@@MaskedMan66that sucks, but I'm glad we got this audio
2:53, the only male looking entity to make dresses look masculine.
+Scribbles to screen; kudos! You did a surprisingly good- yes; touching - reconstruction. As you were verbally laying out what you intended to do, I was saying to myself, 'uuuuuuhhhhh....this isn't going to work'.
I take it BACK. Than you!
With the technology they have today they can CGI the hell out of it
No CGI can top these already perfect visuals
@@bradyryan5105 Maybe not, but it could make a suitable substitute.
1:14, I liked this video because the research sounds good.
Over the rainbow 🌈 will be played at my funeral!!!! I'll see you judy garland, when I'm over the rainbow 🌈 .. my heart hurts, of what they put her through..
I religiously watched this and always thought that something was missing from the film around that part.
The tearful reprise of "Over the Rainbow" track was NOT for playback. It was recorded on set (as you can hear the clapper and Victor Fleming saying softly "action") to a softly played live piano accompaniment. That live take would have had a post scored orchestra added to it. Because of the emotion in the scene it would have been difficult to lip synch to that track.
“I’ll give you Auntie Em!”
Indeed.
As a child, I always wondered why she didn't just take that hour glass and turn it upside down when it was almost out of sand!
Smart bro
4:39--"I'll be a laughing daffodil
And leave the silly cares that fill
My mind...behind me."
Yeah, that was very wise cutting that. I vividly remember getting horribly upset as a child as it was when Dorothy was heartbroken or terrified (especially that "never, never" moment when they are refused entry to see the Wizard). If they'd left that scene in the movie theaters would have been reduced to a wailing mass of traumatized children.
Rubbish.
Kids are tougher than some adults give them credit for.
@@MaskedMan66 Well, I can only speak for me, not for "kids" generally. The scene was already upsetting enough for me as it was; it would have wrecked me with her trying to sob through that song.
@@kensears5099 I must have been an unusual child; for the most part I took stuff in stride. The Wicked Witch never scared me, and I thought the Winged Monkeys were funny. I understood what Dorothy was going through, and when she was sad, I was sad, but it was logical that she would be under the circumstances.
I wish they would had add this to the film
Same. It sucks the footage doesn't exist now, but I'm glad the audio is still intact
They should have absolutely kept this !!
OREEEOOOO
"Oh-Ee-Yah! Eo-Ah!"
Even though Margaret played the witch she was probably crying when Judy sang the reprise especially since Judy was her friend off screen and a mother figure to her basically.
Assuming she was on set, which she probably wasn't.
I think if these scenes of the 1939 movie weren't deleted, would it be close to the lore of the books?
Why they delete this part of this scene!? It should’ve been more emotional and made the movie more iconic!
Agreed, plus Judy's performance was nothing short of perfect
How can it be "more" iconic than it is?
2:02, shoulda gone to Payless.
I think it would have been too depressing to have kept the scene of the imprisoned whimpering Dorothy singing Over the Rainbow, a bit too overly sentimental and a bit tragic on Dorothy's part, you have to be careful not to make the Characters come across as pitiful & Powerless, the deeply emotional scene might have been seen as self pity, not in keeping with the rest of the Movie. Just my opinion.
Halloweenville perhaps you’re right. Also maybe they thought Judy crying while singing may have been too unpolished by MGM standards. You know how messed up MGM was in their thinking in their idea beauty
You make a good point
@@klassicalmuzik That doesn't fly, because she cries a lot in that movie.
It would, however, have heightened the relief when she is eventually rescued. And given her circumstances, i.e. imprisoned and having only an hour to live, she can be excused from getting a bit maudlin.
@@MaskedMan66 Everyone cries too much in this movie, but i wasn't talking specifically about crying, i was talking about how it would fit into the movie, and creating that scene might have been overly sentimental.
Having an Imprisoned Dorothy weeping and crying her way through (Over the rainbow) might have made people see her as a victim, rather than a heroine.
That was interesting
Margaret was like a mother to her so she was probably crying when Judy began to.
If she was on set, which she probably wasn't.
Shut up.
5:44 LOL!
That scared me so bad as a kid
I never hear mention of a mistake concerning the Jitterbug dance when the witch in her castle sends out the flying monkeys to capture Dorothy she tells the monkeys they won't be hard to catch because she sent a little bug ahead of them they never took that part out when they removed the Jitterbug dance
*What are you all talking so much about on this forum? The host of this video didn't show anything for you all to be babbling like this. 5 - 6 minutes of what for heaven sakes.*
Great to see more positive Oz content! I've seen so much lately that seems to have a cancel-culture edge to it.
It is a wonderful film which I watched when I was younger and still watch at 15 but with an awful and disturbing side into the making of the film such as Judy garlands diet of drugs to make her abnormally skinny
@@annemarieryan5211 So the reality is, The Wizard of Oz was one of Judy's happiest times making a film.
Please stop saying "cancel culture", that's right wing rubbish.
It was the worst time in her life actually. It's documented.
@@annemarieryan5211 No "diet of drugs" and she was not supposed to be skinny. She was a zaftig teen playing a prepubescent, so they needed to reduce or hide her curves. The reduction was brought about by perfectly normal diet and exercise.
From the Director's point of view they wouldn't show Judy Garland
In the Witches Castle crying, it would be scripted but instead the plan
was to Rescue Dorothy....At any event it would be too long for any of
Theses things to happen in the Witches Castle....
Witch's.
Imagine if they made a expanded cut they would add all the deleted scenes / songs in
Oh I wish.
I thought it was a shame they cut the Ding Dong the Witch is Dead too. Without it, the scene shift from the Witch’s castle to the Wizard’s Room is too abrupt.
A crude recreation that I would have enjoyed more if it had simple stills of the part of the movie into which it may have fit, accompanied by the amazing recently-found audio!
5:21 my favorite part
Clara Blandick took her own life in 1962.
I can see and hear why it was cut, the film was much better without this reprisal.
Reprise.
Very cool share.
THANK U?
It’s a shame we’ve never seen any deleted scenes, archive footage. I assume it doesn’t exist now?
It’s believed that the actual footage was destroyed in the fire that happened in the MGM vault back in 1967. Although, this has never officially been confirmed
"Wonder Bros??"
The days before deleted scenes were saved for the release. 😢
In those says, the only release was when the film was delivered to theaters.
Ohh please to the CGI of the Wizard of Oz using MetaHumans and Unreal Engine 5
This is not a Doctor Who kind of movie. Dorothy's hair is not curled in one photo, and he placed the Somewhere Over the Rainbow Reprise in the wrong place in the movie. The cut out has Dorothy's head too big for her body and it looks weird. The cut and paste reconstruction is horrific! It is really creepy! You rely too much on footage from the movie. I have seen other postings of this sequence on You Tube that are shorter and superior to this!
Im glad they took that out; that would have ruined over the rainbow
How?
@@MaskedMan66 I've listened to the reprise; it's very dark and depressing and she's sobbing the whole time; terrified... If people heard the song they might associate it with the depressing reprise; not the joyful, optimistic original number. I mean they've already shown her crying in that scene. She doesn't really need to be singing as well.
@@mikep5335 You have to understand it from a dramatic perspective; in Kansas, she's singing wistfully of an unknown place she'd like to visit. In Oz, she's singing specifically about home, where she knows who's there and that she is loved. It shows her development thus far in that she's already learning that her heart's desire isn't "any further than my own backyard."
A friend of mine in Canada co-created a musical, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," in 2000. It was more closely based on the book than the MGM movie was, but he used the same device of Dorothy singing about how dull and gray Kansas was in an early scene, and later when she's the Wicked Witch's prisoner, she sings a lament about how home is very special to her.
In both scenarios, the precise point is to have the audience not get "depressed," but to sympathize with Dorothy, who they've been traveling with the whole time.
@@MaskedMan66 well that's one way of looking at it. I kind of think there's enough dark moments in that show as is...but whatever...to each his own....
@@mikep5335 Yeah, that's the screenwriters' way of looking at it. I don't know what you mean by "dark moments." There are scary parts, to be sure, but you show me a fantasy tale without any thrills and I'll show you a turkey.
Wizard of Ozz
I have a hard time listening to you. Are you saying you’re attempting to have an animated sequence like what they’ve done for some of the lost episodes in Doctor Who?
using a "stunt actress" with simple facial prosthetics would have been a MUCH better idea !!
Sorry, what????
I really don't think this scene should have been cut. It would have made the scene much better
This is not completely accurate! MGM was one of the few movie studios who saved all of the deleted scenes and song and dance numbers from all of their movies! I have done my well-documented and reliable research on my favorite movie of all time! Filming began in early 1938 on 27 soundstages at Meto-Goldwyn- Mayer Studios located in Culver City, California. All of the songs were recorded in 1938 for the movie! The Technicolor scenes in Oz were filmed first and the sepia tone Kansas scenes were filmed last. Director King Vidor directed many of the scenes in Oz and all of the scenes in Kansas. He should have been given credit. Both King Vidor and Victor Fleming directed the movie! I was born and raised in the United States of America. I don't mean to be unkind! However, the narrator is overbearing and loud. His narration is too long! His editing and reconstruction are good. However, it could have been much better! A professional would have done a much better job! Noen of the footage should have ever been deleted!
Judy s song Over THe Rainbow is sad I think !
I’ll give you Auntie Em my pretty!
Didn't watch the video but because no one believes me. There's a scene where after Judy pics the apples and the trees come alive and start throwing the apples at then. If you watch the backdrop where they're skipping towards you can see CLEAR AS Day a silhouette of a step ladder and a little person hanging themselve jumping off the ladder. You have to find a copy n vhs tape before it was edited out.
Nope. That's a big, fat lie.
@@MaskedMan66 b.s. it is
@@mikejoe3551 I said that it is.
Sorry. I misunderstood. 👍
@@mikejoe3551 There was nothing to attach a rope too. The trees were only set pieces and the ceiling was two stories high. In any case, there were no unauthorized people on the set; everyone had to pass a Security checkpoint.
As much as I LOVE the hourglass (I own a life-size replica of it!), I never did quite understand the unnecessary one-hour timeframe to kill her. Why not kill her right then and there? She's right in front of her. There's really no reason for this one-hour delay in her killing Dorothy, other than pure cinema drama.
Don't you remember what the Wicked Witch said? "Those slippers will never come off as long as you're alive. But that's not what's worrying me; it's *how* to do it. These things must be done delicately, or you hurt the spell."
She needed an hour (at least) to figure out a way of killing Dorothy without undoing the charm on the shoes.
Why dumb them into the ocean!?
Was that Judy Garland or is your accent that bad? Judy, Judy, JUDY!
I think that's the real audio. So that's gotta be Judy Garland

This is stupid. Some of the so-called deleted scenes were never deleted scenes. Get your facts straight. Another attempt to delude people.

President Trump?! You stay on your side of the pond... Probably why you're not so popular; other than that gawd-awful accent.
That's Judy Garland, not Donald Trump
What I never understood was why didn't Dorthy put the hour glass on its side so the sand couldn't run out?
