I grew up on this movie!

Rating: Null/10 (29 October 1999)

I have always loved The Wizard of Oz since I was a kid and I still love it to this day. I always watched it when it aired on CBS annually and I also have it on video. I actually have 2 copies of the movie, the 50th anniversary tape and the Ultimate Oz package.
After reading the script of the long version of the movie, I wish all of the outtake scenes were never taken out and destroyed. If the movie actually ran too long, then I think the scenes could have at least been saved. Then later on, they could have all been put back into their missing places. Gone With the Wind was a 3-4 hour movie itself. Why couldn't The Wizard of Oz be? I guess there are many answers to that question.
The one final scene that actually still does exist, is the scarecrow dance. I think it is a little odd that every scene would be destroyed except for one. I'm sure there is an explanation for that too. It's still enjoyable anyway though. I have seen it probably 90 billion times and I'll probably see it 90 billion times more. For any Wizard of Oz fan, I don't think 90 billion times would be enough.
