The Wizard of Oz

Dorothy (Judy Garland) and her dog Toto are swept up into a tornado and land in another world. This world is know as the Oz. In order for Dorothy to go home, she must seek out the the Wizard of Oz (Frank Morgan) in Emerald City. On the way there, Dorothy meets a scarecrow (Ray Bolger) who needs a brain, so he too must ask the Wizard for a favor. As they follow the yellow brick road they meet a lion (Bert Lahr), and a tin man (Jack Haley). The tin man needs a heart, and the lion needs courage, so the group travels together to find the Wizard.

The group runs into trouble with the Wicked Witch of the West and her crazy flying monkeys. Dorothy finally makes it home after clicking her sparkly red shoes and saying "there is no place like home".

The Wizard of Oz is a fantasy world which creates fun for the viewers. The movie was made in 1939 and directed by Victor Fleming. It won two Oscars for best music and effects.

Always,
Avery
