    Judy Garland is THE definitive Dorothy, and convinces as a young preteen girl, despite being 16 at the time. It's sad to think of her tragic life, how she was forced into show business with her sisters at a young age, and dealt with substance abuse, before passing away at the young age of 47 years old.

      This is probably because it was originally an allegory for the movement to base the US dollar on silver (the shoes) instead of gold (the Yellow Brick Road). That's why it's the land of "Oz" (short for "ounce").

      @@digifreak90facts.. their Oz plot lines were especially messy. But that’s because they ditched them halfway through when Oz the Great and Powerful wasn’t as successful as they were hoping. So they cancelled the plans they had for Oz and Dorothy. Plus the actress who played Ruby was busy with other projects so they couldn’t continue the Dorothy/Ruby romance. That’s why it feels like Zelena is just kinda… there.. for the rest of the show. They never really had anything interesting to do with such an iconic character bc they abandoned their original ideas for her.

    I was a child during the 80s creepy children’s film era, and I’d honestly rank Return to Oz second only to The Dark Crystal for having creepy-cool character design and effects for it’s time. It holds up even for adults just because there’s so much cool stuff to look at. And mombi is creepy AF.

    The Wizard of Oz was always intended to be Judy Garland’s big break into a leading lady. The only reason why talks about Temple came about was because the stinky higher ups were worried with the amount of money they already spent to get the rights, and for everything yet to come, that new comer Judy wouldn’t be enough to draw out the box office. Judy was fought for by the crew, and the role was 100% hers from that point.

    • @MooTelevision
      @MooTelevision 27 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Yes! I was going to comment this. The rights to the Wizard of Oz were bought with Judy specifically in mind. They had an unofficial audition with Shirley but that was just to please the higher ups. Supposedly a deal between Shirley’s studio and MGM fell through and that’s why the unofficial audition never went anywhere, but there are no records of this deal ever being discussed. Likely that’s what the higher ups told people they had roped into banking on Shirley.

    Judy Garland as Dorothy was what first introduced me to musicals. Over the Rainbow is still to this day my favorite song of all time. With all the pressure she was put under by MGM to fit the mold for this movie at just 16 years old, she gave one of the greatest performances not just of her career, but in film history period. There will never be another like her. 🌈☁

    Dorothy Gale is literally one of fiction's greatest heroes. She's still managed to keep her good heart in spite of everything she's been through, and that is really admirable. In my opinion, Dorothy is one of pop culture's most famous paragon heroines. 11/10 video. Keep up the good work. 😁👍🏾😁👍🏾😁👍🏾
    Side note: From everything I've seen and read, including watching the whole movie, Journey Back To Oz is the true sequel to the OG '39 classic. Why? 4 things.
    1. Obviously, the casting of Judy Garland's daughter, Liza Minnelli, as Dorothy, was, in my humble opinion, meant to evoke the exact same version of the character her mother is famous for.
    2. Dorothy's song at the beginning of the movie, "A Faraway Land," is basically that movie's version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow." Not only that, but if you listen closely as Dorothy sings, you can tell that Liza did her best to channel her mother's vocal prowess she had as Dorothy.
    3. Not only is a tornado the same way Dorothy gets to Oz, but she literally gets KNOCKED UNCONCIOUS before she and Toto go to Oz. In both movies, a piece of furniture (a windowpane in the original 1939 film, a fence door in Journey Back To Oz) is blown onto poor Dorothy's head by the twister's winds, knocking her unconscious.
    4, At the end of the movie, after Dorothy is sent home, she's shown WAKING UP at the fence and running back to the farm, happy to be home again, *proving* that the *entire adventure* was a DREAM just as it was in the OG film. Journey Back To Oz is the underrated true sequel to the 1939 classic, The Wizard of Oz.
    These are all just my thoughts and opinions, but I would love to hear yours as well as anyone else's perspective on this subject of continuity between the two films. Just be sure to stay kind and respectful in your replies. God bless y'all! 😊🥰👍🏾❤️
    Final note: Judy Garland's the DEFINITIVE Dorothy. She made the character an iconic heroine for generations to enjoy and look up to, and we love her for it. Rest in peace, Judy. We'll take care of Oz for you with our own ruby slippers. Tyrants look out and wicked witches beware! 🌪👠👠

    I love Return to OZ (1985) and personally think Fairuza Balk is the most acute in casting, not just age but of personality, of Dorothy Gale. I love that the dark fantasy movement allowed the film to lean into the weird, even surrealist, aspects of Baum's books. The Gnome king, wheelers, and Mombi terrified me as a child. Dorothy helping Ozma from the mirror is still one of my favorite scenes in film.

I feel like kids are also super pedantic about any deviations from source material, and I resented every single change.

    I’m curious to see how they adapt the stories. And I hope whoever they get to play Dorothy isn’t going to be directed to give a carbon copy of Judy Garland’s performance and I also hope they don’t do the “unbothered girl boss” trope either. Playing Dorothy and making her character honor the performances before while still being new is gonna be a challenge.
    Alisha Weir is allegedly going to play Dorothy in Wicked, and I think that was an amazing idea. I think she could pull off the role if they cast her in a remake.

      @ After the stone wall riots were kind of linked to Judy’s passing and since she was such an icon in the LGBT community they asked the question “Are you a friend of Dorothy’s?” As a secret code to see who’s who?

    I love the original Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz (1939), I always wanted to be her, or rather, be in her "shoes". I always wanted a pair of the Ruby Slippers, despite that they're not cannon to the story. Theres just something so magical about them. But Judy Garland was just so iconic for Dorothy, that I cant imagine anyone else besides her when I picture Dorothy Gale in my head.

    I never hear people talk about Emerald City, but I think of it often. I remember loving the visuals of the witches, the scarecrow, the girl with the mask. Disappointed we never had a conclusion for their stories. I feel they never really got a chance to find their groove.

    I like the creativity 20th Century Oz employs for the plot. I’m a sucker for modern retellings of classic stories. And oh my god, OUAT’s version of Dorothy is so underdeveloped it’s aggravating. That lack of development translated to her and Ruby’s relationship.

    25:05 I just realized something what if Dorothy is just Nancy, they were both mental asylum due to "their crazy imagination", and the reason why Nancy was trying to use magic it was due to for time in Oz and seeing different witches

      ​@@JustGina724and it would make sense why whenever Nancy goes bad her outfits kind of resembled the wicked witch of the South, Andy would connect due to the crafts form of witchcraft, it comes from the witch not the actual power itself, the witch chooses who they want to be, either a good witch or a bad witch nothing magic and not their abilities

    Fairuza Baulk all the way. Her acting and the film itself perfectly encapsulate the feeling of the story as a dark fairy tale without resorting to cheap gimmicks, and the girl herself is so talented that I never get bored of watching her.

    the wizard of oz is a great movie but to be honest I never watched again after I watch the Wiz it just doesn't hold a candle in my eyes. Iam obsessed with is movie, but they could be because I'm a musical theater nerd and seeing an all black cast is just everything to me.

    Hi! My favorite version of Dorothy was from an animated 80/90's series called Tales of the Wizard of Oz. It was on ABC I think, but I watched it on VHS as a kid. I loved everything about it! My favorite character was always Elfaba or the Wicked Witch of the West as she was known in 1939's classic film. Of course I wanted Dorothy to get home safely, but I always wondered what happened to the witch to make her wicked. Yes, I'm a huge Wicked fan too! Gracias for this video.

    Diana Ross as Dorothy in The Wiz is what effectively killed her acting career. She wasn’t even that bad at it and she was so amazing in her debut film role as Billie Holiday that she earned an Oscar nomination which a lot of actors and actresses in their own film debuts don’t even get.

    I came here to see some Return to Oz appreciation and I am so glad that's what I got! Fairuza Balk will always be who I picture when someone talks about Dorothy because she was the first one I ever saw in that role (and Return to Oz being one of my two favourite movies, the other being Labyrinth), but there have been so many (more or less) interesting takes on the character and it was great to see them all introduced side by side.
    Obviously, Judy Garland will always be THE Dorothy 😌
