A classic fairy tale depicting Dorothy’s (an innocent young girl) attempt to re-unite with her family once more and make her way home after a brutal tornado brings her to somewhere far far away, over the rainbow (I couldn’t resist XD ).

She meets companions along the way - as well as enemies. The wicked witch of the west attempts to take Dorothy’s magic rep slippers for herself, with any means necessary.

Fun for all ages, The Wizard of Oz is a classic, and should remain a classic for years and years to come.

I hope this films award winning and I would personally recomend it to familys and every single age group. It shows alot of seprate amotions and can really toutch your heart.I am not to keen on the black and white but love the coloured it also shows that even if you feel that you have your brain missing dosn’t mean you havn’t got one.

Fascinating facts

Judy Garland had to wear a painful corset-type garment to make her appear younger and flat chested.
