Three cheers for The Wizard of Oz!
'Hip, hip, hip, hurruh!'
'Hip, hip, hip, hurruh!'
'Hip, hip, hip, hurruh!'
This movie is so great I just had to put that in.
Anyway, like most people, I couldn't remember when I first saw it, or count how many times I've seen it. Who hasn't heard of it? Who dosen't just love it. 'The Wizard of Oz is basically the quintessential children's film. And most adults find it enchanting as well.
Judy Garland gives a great performance as Dorothy, and I also admire Jack Haley's portrayal of the Tin Woodsman.
Okay, so the special effects are not exactly up to today's standards, but the background visuals are still so beautiful, so viabrant, that it dosen't really matter.
*SPOILER BELOW*
The message of the movie is quite obvious. It's 'There's no place like home'. Bit of a clichÃ©, but still works.
*THE SPOILER HAS PASSED*
What else can I say?
I would undoubtedly recommend The Wizard of Oz for both you and your children.
