superb art of story telling

Rating: 10/10 (16 November 2004)

Adapted from Frank Baum's children book "The Wizard of Oz", the movie by Victor Fleming depicts wonderful art of stroy telling.
Dorothy Gale, a little girl from Kansas, is swept away to the magical land of Munchkins, by the Tornado, where she is needed to find The Wizard of Oz, who can take her back to her house.
According to me, a perfect children story. In the dreams, how the real-life characters affects their characters in dream of a child. Effects necessary for the movie are well shown (mind well, this movie was made in 1939). It's a musical movie, frequently supported by wonderful songs in the movie. "Over the Rainbow", title song for the movie was placed all time #1 Hollywood song by AFI. it snatched Oscar award for best music from "gone with the wind". Judy Garland wonderfully performed the character of Dorothy Gale . She was just superb, well supported by other cast.
In short, inspite of 65 year old movie, no wonder this movie is placed at #62 in all time 250 of IMDb. do give it a watch in light mood.
